Copper Pan Suggestions?

Question

I want to get a copper pan or pot for making sauces, I know nothing about copper or the manufacutrers of such. Does anyone here use copper and what else is it good for?

Answer 1

All Clad makes very nice copper core pots and pans and when it comes to cookware All Clad is top notch. Just so you know, copper cookware is not only expensive, it's a lot heavier. If you were interested in an all copper pot, not just copper bottom, Mauviel I think is the brand most commonly found and considered high quality.

Answer 2

Rather than copper, I'd recommend the All-Clad Stainless 3-Quart Saucier.  It's expensive, but it will last forever.  I bought one specifically for sauces and gravies.  I'm delighted with it!!!  Check it out at cooking.com.

Answer 3

Copper is so expensive! I wouldn't even bother with pots and pans. I have a bowl I use for whipping egg whites in. That's all I use copper for.

Answer 4

I know they look cool hanging up.

I don't think I would ever use one to cook though...
