Mauviel M’200 B Cookware Set

Copper is an exceptional heat conductor, meaning it heats up and cools down almost instantly. This gives you unparalleled control over temperature, which is essential for delicate tasks like making sauces or searing proteins.

No, polishing is purely aesthetic. The copper will naturally develop a patina over time, which many chefs prefer for its rustic look, but it won't affect the performance of the pans.

No, copper is not magnetic and will not work on induction surfaces unless you use a dedicated induction interface disk. These pans are best suited for gas, electric, or halogen cooktops.

Yes, the 18/10 stainless steel lining is non-reactive and highly durable. It allows you to cook acidic ingredients like tomato sauce without the metallic taste associated with unlined copper, and it stands up well to everyday metal utensils.

Hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents can damage the copper exterior and the handle finish over time.

The bronze handles are a signature of Mauviel's classic aesthetic and offer a distinct, ergonomic grip. While they stay cooler than the pan body, they can still get hot, so always keep a kitchen towel or oven mitt nearby.
