Features of the Mauviel M’heritage M250C 9-piece 2.5mm Copper Cookware Set Review:
The following are the most features of Mauviel M’heritage M250C 9-piece 2.5mm Copper Cookware Set.
Thick copper construction
The cookware consists of thick copper that measures 2.5-mm in thickness. The overall ratio is 90 percent copper to 10 percent stainless steel that is used for the interior. The copper covers the outsides and bottoms of each pot and pan. Copper is one of the most effective conductors of heat that you can have in the kitchen. It heats foods evenly and therefore eliminates any hotspots that may appear in your cooking. What copper gives you is wonderful control over your cooking with regards to temperature, it heats gently. It is therefore perfect for gently simmering soups and searing meat.
Stainless silver interior
Each pot and pan features a thin coating of stainless silver that works well with the copper to evenly distribute the heat in the bottom of the pan. Stainless steel is perfectly safe to cook on and will not tarnish or alter the taste of your food. The interior of each piece of cookware is highly polished. This presents a nonstick surface on which to cook food. This also allows you to cook at much lower temperatures and without the fear of burning your food. You also use less oil, so cooking is much healthier.
Cast iron handles
All of the cookware pieces come with cast iron handles that are smooth and soft to the touch. They are long for easy access away from hot food and liquids. They have been ergonomically designed for comfort when you need to manipulate a pan while cooking. They are incredibly sturdy and feature stainless steel rivets. The skillet and sauté pans have extra long handles for more added safety and each handle is placed high on the pan’s edge. The large stockpot features handles that are placed outwards for easier grip and manoeuvrability.
Copper lids
This cookware set features 4 differently sized copper lid inserts to match accompanying pans. All pots and pans have a lid except for the skillet. The copper lids each feature their own cast iron handle that stays cool to the touch when the pan is placed on a hot stove. They are also quite large so are easy to grip in order to allow you to lift the lid. All of the lids fit perfectly and sit on top of their designated pan. They seal in moisture while you cook and help to keep food at the desired temperature.
