MauvielM'Cook 5-Ply Polished Stainless Steel Fying Pan With Cast Stainless Steel Handle, 11-in, Made In France

This item is really extremely good , best in the world . And I have used many , … many pans in my lifetime . It is not that ‘sticky’ if compared to other ‘branded’ pans , really good heat distribution and does not burn . I tried this pan to hot-sear , going above the recommended heat level and it still work perfectly well , no browning , no burn , no nothing .This pan will likely last me until the day I die.For those who complains this sticks : this is a stainless steel pan, so you need to coat it with oil prior to use, this is not a non-stick pan like Teflon . I am using this because Teflon isn’t good for health.For those who complains this discolored : this pan heats up extremely fast , use a thermometer to check the temperature. I find this pan easily heats up 2x faster , and 2x hotter compared to other ‘branded’ pans , and about 5x faster and 5x hotter if compared to ‘generic’ or ‘cheap-no-brand’ pans. When the pan gets extremely hot, it will burn and evaporate the oil, leaving a sticky discolored stain. Seriously Don’t evaporate your oil.

This is an amazing pan. It is easy to clean. I would say medium weight if you are picking it up.

The base has domed a little (2mm) after only 2 months - about 12 times of use. Bought to complement my 24cm and 28cm Alessi Sapper frying pans that I have used for over 10 years, this Mauviel has failed the test in no time at all as it no longer sits flat on my Siemens ceramic hob. What do I do now? Amazon Help is not much good as I have passed the 1 month limit on returns.

Now that I've used it for a while, it really is a lovely pan. It cooks omelettes beautifully, but firstly you need to understand the temperatures, heat the butter to the correct heating temperature, do not burn the butter. If you do burn the pan because you used olive oil which burns if too hot, the pan cleans to a brilliant sparkle with Brillo, after a soak in warm soapy water. If your food sticks, you did not allow the pan to get hot enough before cooking.

Just check the picture after the first use...
