If I recall correctly you need 2.5mm of copper and most on the market are 1.5mm. I buy the Mauviel 2.5mm copper and stainless steel - they work great. For a little cheaper SS option, Fissler is great too.

These aren’t non-stick. Just use lots of fat instead :).

Also a big fan of Mauviel. Their handles are very comfortable, unlike All-Clad

I don't see any pans on the Mauviel site that have 2.5mm of copper, although I do see some on other sites. Are they discontinued?

They do have a set specifically for induction though. Very expensive!

Not sure, I don’t see it either. I see the 200 series- that is probably good enough. I have the M250C which is 2.5mm. It is amazing with fish, omelettes, etc.

That makes sense, I like the all clad a lot because they’re made a town over from where I live so there’s that local aspect that intrigues me, I’ll check out mauviel and fissler as well!

I believe Mauviel and All Clad are in the same price and performance category but I prefer the feel of Mauviel, especially with the cast iron handles.

They go on sale pretty often.

I used to ignore where things were made but knowing that All Clad is made in the USA makes me reconsider where I get my SS. I try to go out of my way to buy “local”.
