Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
So these copper pots are lined with tin. The tin melts at 475 degrees or so... if I was to sear a steak on a pan... how hot is the surface of the pan? Or are copper pots not meant for searing, and only for braising and sauces and soups?
Camera man needs to lay off the coffee.
Am I crazy that a 450 degree melting point for the coating (tin) on cookware designed for stoves seems super low?
So what does being a former rocket engineer have to do with any of this? Not like making pots the way he is is rocket science by any stretch.
...so, I've found this brand and I've re-registered it
Interesting. Wonder why they don't stamp the pans and instead do this rolling process
Wow, I looked up his pans online. I am a former chef and own several Mauviel French copper pans (the choice of pros in France). I thought they were expensive at $200 to $400 each. His pans cost around $1500.
I guess rocket scientist made pans donβt come cheap.
Awesome and informative.
