I've got the French and Italian but just something about the Franklin county stuff....
I had 1 prima matera, I believe it was 1.2mm. yes afaik anything over 2.5mm with nickel or SS lining = at least 20 years old. only thing mauviel makes now over 2.5mm is tin linedrare, vintage? I could have sworn its a De Buyer prima matera but with cast iron handle (3.3mm copper)
Say, would anyone be interested in an FLIR passaround? I just happen to have a spare one of these sitting in my trouser pocket.

We can work out some sort of “citizen science” protocol to deliver this kind of finding
I know, I have toyed with the idea of geting one...but I wanted the high def version....$$$They do have an Android version. I’ve found it useful for identifying leaks in the walls during renovation.
Next I will shoot some pics of my Cu-Mai v mono-steel v san-mai pans on induction. Boiling water suggested a steep thermal gradient but maybe frying will look different.

That’s good stuff, thanks for sharing.Century life did some testing too
They appear to be tin lined. Some may be fine with that but I like worry free stainless. Tin may be fine for a sauce pot but skillets and saute pans get some heat. I can’t say there is a good reason for a copper sauce pot but I do have one. Larger skillet/sauté makes a lot of sense in copper.Bottega del Rame might be another interesting choice for induction. I might get one to try out.

I ended up deciding against getting it for that same reason! I’m not sure I’ll drop coin on the De Buyer Prima Matera skillet either.They appear to be tin lined.

only when talking length, never heard men discuss girth ;-)Only men can worry that much about those last few mms...

(The above didn’t post. Since then, I pulled the trigger on a Falk copper coeur fry pan.)
Haha yeah.that's Italy for you ;-)
I think, looking at the thickness, that De Buyer is actually 3.3 mm after making a pan..
