not nearly as good as the price implies
I ordered this pan from a certain high-end cooking store, and they backordered it and then did not ship when promised, so I had plenty of time to anticipate the arrival of the pan and get excited to use it.
Unfortunately, once I finally did receive it and used it, I was sorely disappointed. Based on the high price tag and the reputation of that high end store, I was thinking I would be getting a pan that was a joy to use. Not so. First I found when cooking with this pan that it did not heat anywhere near as evenly as I expected. Directly over the burners, food cooked too quickly, while on the sides food barely cooked, which forced me to regularly rotate the pan - something difficult to do with a pan whose handles get very hot. The pan is touted as being thick 2.0mm copper, but I have other pans from other manufacturers that are 25% thicker than that, and this pan evidently needs to be thicker.
I was further disappointed when it came time to clean the pan -...
Great Pan
Copper is expensive. This pan, along with all of the Mauviel M'Heritage is solid copper, therefore it is expensive. Keep in mind this pan is 16" and you won't be able to properly execute a paella on your home cooktop. You may want to consider an LP Paella burner or other outdoor large cooking surface to do justice to this amazing pan. The mirror finish they put on this is absolutely incredible, I couldn't wait to bury in embers as soon as I opened the box.
