Mauviel M’150B Frying Pan

A traditional copper frying pan with some user-friendly updates, like a durable stainless steel lining and lighter body.

—DETAILS—

The Mauviel M’150B frying pan is made from 1.5mm thick French copper (90%), which maximises the unparalleled heat responsiveness of copper while being light enough to manoeuvre. The other 10% is made of stainless steel; unlike old-fashioned copper pans which are lined with tin, stainless steel does not need to be re-tinned every few years and will last forever. A curved bronze handle, which comfortably moulds to your thumb, adds old-world charm. Suitable for all hobs except induction.

Mauviel M150 and M200 pans, with stainless steel, bronze, or cast iron handles, are made of pure copper thats soft by nature. They are polished and finished by hand, resulting in minor abrasions, small black marks or scuffs. These are considered normal and do not have any impact on performance or durability.

—BENEFITS—

Every serious cook should have at least one copper pan, just to experience what controlled cooking really means. To me it means getting fish to that perfect texture, just after it stops being raw but before it starts flaking too much.
