Mauviel’s M’Cook range outperforms standard stainless steel pans by miles.

The middle layer of that aluminium is pure, meaning there is no adhesive agent in it that slightly…
The Mauviel M’150S saucepan is made from 1.5mm thick French copper (90%), which maximises the unparalleled heat responsiveness of copper while being light enough to manoeuvre easily.

All-Clad pioneered multi-ply cookware in the 1970s with the d3 (also called TriPly) series, when they layered aluminium’an excellent conductor of heat’with stainless steel, which is excellent at being non-reactive, oven-safe, induction hob-compatible, and extremely durable.
