Mauviel M'Héritage copper cookware

Characteristics of the M'Héritage range by Mauviel

The M'Héritage range of copper frying pans and saucepans feature a 2-ply design. The outer ply represents 90% of the utensil body and is made of copper. Copper is the 2nd best heat conductor after silver. It distributes heat perfectly throughout the Mauviel pan for even, rapid cooking. The inner fold represents the remaining 10% of the body of the Mauviel cooking ring or sauteuse, and is made of 18/10 stainless steel. Its food-grade quality ensures perfect hygiene and prevents Mauviel saucepans from oxidizing, making them easy to clean. The bottom of most cookware is 2mm thick, enabling you, for example, to boil 1L of water in just 3 minutes, compared with 7 minutes for a stainless steel pan. This speed is therefore aimed at professionals and their high cooking skills, as they are able to control it. The range's copper frying pans and saucepans are ideal for cooking on all burners except induction. To solve this problem, don't hesitate to use the Mauviel relay disc. Finally, the mounts on the stainless steel copper frying pan, for example, are made of bronze. Its attractive golden hue adds elegance, not to mention corrosion and wear resistance.

How do I maintain and clean a Mauviel copper pan?

Stainless copper is not maintained in the same way as traditional stainless steel cookware. On a daily basis, manual cleaning is strongly recommended, as dishwasher detergents will leave indelible marks on copper. Simply use a soft sponge and washing-up liquid, making sure to dry your professional copper pan immediately. If food has stuck to the bottom of your Mauviel copper pan, soak it for half a day with water and washing-up liquid. In contact with heat, copper will naturally change color. To restore its shine, soak a sponge in special Copperbrill paste and rub the copper pan. When cooking, take care not to exceed 2/3 of the heating power of your plates. Overheating will deform the bottom of your Mauviel copper pan. Finally, to mix and serve your preparations, use only kitchen utensils, such as a spatula or a spoon, made of wood or silicone to avoid scratching your Mauviel copper pan or your rondeau.
