Mauviel M'250B Fry Pan

Copper is widely considered the gold standard for cookware because it offers superior heat conductivity. It heats up and cools down almost instantly, giving you the precise temperature control needed for delicate tasks like searing, reducing sauces, or sautéing.

The stainless steel interior is a thin, non-reactive lining that prevents food from coming into direct contact with the copper. It provides the durability and ease of cleaning of stainless steel while allowing the copper exterior to manage the heat distribution.

Yes, the Mauviel M'250B is oven-safe, making it a versatile choice for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven. Just be sure to use oven mitts, as the brass handles will get hot.

This pan weighs 4.4 pounds. While it is substantial due to the heavy-gauge copper construction, the brass handles are designed to be balanced and ergonomic to help you maneuver the pan comfortably.
