Hi KKF!
First I'm going to apologise for all the 'which pan should I buy' threads which I've been starting recently, this one should be the last. I've decided to to go mostly with Demyere Atlantis pans, as the lady doesn't like cleaning rivets. :wink:
I have got permission for one copper riveted pan and I would appreciate some opinions on the De Buyer Prima Matera Conical Braiser/ Curved Sauté Evasée.
I'm thinking that it would look great for serving directly at the table and it seems to me that it should be quite versatile. I'm thinking that it could be used for big batches of risotto (it's a 5 litre capacity), quickly reducing tomato sauce for Italian cooking and could also be used as a braiser and sauté pan.
I'd appreciate some advice on how copper compares to cast iron for braising, and if this is as versatile a pan as I'm thinking. If this is not a good choice, what else from their range would you choose and why. The other pan I'm thinking of at the moment is a straight walled sauté pan, but I'm open to suggestions I'm also thinking of going for bigger pans to get the most benefit from the copper.
