I have not had experience with Made- in copperware, but agree with JustineV.

If you are going for copper pans, your best bet is too look on *tsy or eb*y for retinned/ used French cookware. You can find some good deals. Just don't bother with anything less than 2mm, honestly 3mm+ is the way to go. Heavy MFs though.

I have a bunch of copper and many vintage. Mostly French & Italian and some Swiss. Both stainless and tin lined (I dream of a silver lined pan or 2)

I’m wondering with Made-In, of the 2.0 mm how much is copper and how much is SS.

I.E. the All-Clad copper only has a thin outer coating of copper … not really a copper pan.

Falk Culinair is also highy recommendable and they also invented the proces of amalgamating SS with copper.

Really? I thought the process was invented by Metalcrafters for the manufacture of cladded coins.

I’m pretty sure All-Clad is a division of Metalcrafters out of PA

Different process, Falk was the OEM manufacturer for most copper stainless cookware came out of the Europe before their patent expired.
 
Got a bunch of Falk about 15 years ago. Feel like Sisyphus every time I polish them but they are gorgeous and highly functional. Also love the couple of All-Clad copper cores I got on sale. Just as conductive and easier maintenance. Not half as purdy though.

Falk has as an induction copper line that looks decent but I have not used it. It is 2.5mm thick, with 1.9mm of copper, 0.2mm stainless interior, 0.4mm magnetic stainless exterior (approximately).

2.5 = 1.9 + 2 + 4 Maths! 🤙


(missing a decimal pint or two, I suspect)
 
I’m actually interested in this one here, never heard this company and seems bit suspicious, tho if the claim is true it would be a huge deal.

I know nothing about the company, but a 9.5” stainless lined copper skillet is of limited use. I mostly use that size for eggs and get cheapo disposable ceramic nonstick skillets for that use. I would consider 12” or 14” in copper. Copper shines in larger diameters where conductivity matters. Aluminum is fine for smaller pans. Just my opinion.

Q:

Any thoughts on the new Heston copper. “induction friendly” cookware?

Looks like it is a disc type product w/ copper sandwich.

New Hestan Copperbond came in today! I wasn’t too worried about the copper thickness (approximately 1.4mm) since I’m using induction. The looks beat-out the Demeyer Atlantis line.
I’ll try to report later, but I’m just a lazy home cook, so WTFCWIT.

IMO copper-look cookware is really one of the worst possible trends. You trade dishwashability for negligible thermal performance improvement.
 
I am thinking not bigger than 10 inch with 2mm copper. Any bigger pan and I would want thicker copper.

Hestan is so good. So practical and well-made
 
speaking of copper - this is a rare beast (if its SS and not nickel) Rare Vintage French 3.3mm Heavy Copper Saute Pan Steel Lining 11 1/4” | eBay <-- I am not associated with that listing in anyway

must be from late 90s, since they stopped doing over 2.5mm with nikel or SS... soon after.. def a nice pan but prob weights 10lbs

price is high, but if u want rare, and if it's SS, priced probably fair..

BTW Falk US is running some 20% off now.

Falk europe is having an easter sale, 20÷ off also still for this week if I understood Neils' email correctly. Over the weekend it was extended to 25÷ for existing customers, so check your emails if interested. That pushed me over the edge and yesterday I ordered a 20 cm saute pan + frypan in copper core.
