REVIEW OF THIS PRODUCT
The 8 piece pot and pan set by Matfer Bourgeat has a a pure red copper exterior, stainless steel lining and cast iron handles. While the cast iron handles may heat up, they heat up much slower than stainless steel or brass handles making them more practical. The construction is high quality, made of 90% copper, with a lining of stainless steel (cooking acidic foods directly on copper is not safe). This set includes a nice variety of cookware with a casserole pan, 2 saucepans, and a sauté pan.
TOP QUALITIES
- 2.5 MM Thick Copper
- 90% Copper and 10% Stainless Steel (18/10)
- Stainless Steel Interior
- Cast Iron Handle
- Easy to Clean
CONS
- Not Compatible with Induction Stoves
- Very Heavy
OVERALL RECOMMENDATION:
The Matfer Bourgeat copper cookware set is exceptionally high quality, however for 4 pots and pans this is a very pricey set. The Mauviel M Heritage copper cookware set reviewed below, is almost the same exact price and includes 1 more piece of cookware (a copper skillet).

REVIEW OF THIS PRODUCT
The 10 piece pot and pan set from All Clad has a stainless steel finish, but a copper core which provides an even heating of the entire pan and quick heat responsiveness to give you better control of the temperature which is important for delicate recipes. The benefits of purchasing a kitchen set with a copper core rather than being 100% copper, is a lower price point, that it’s dishwasher safe (copper should be washed by hand), stainless steel is lower maintenance (no patina to worry about), and it’s safe to cook acidic foods on the stainless steel lining.
TOP QUALITIES
- Highly Polished 18/10 Stainless Steel Interior
- Copper Core
- Oven and Broiler Safe up to 600 Degrees
- Dishwasher Safe
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
CONS
- Several Complaints of Rust Which is Not Included in the Warranty
- Ill-fitting Lids
- Inside of the Pan Gets Discolored with Use
- Thin Handles
- Very Heavy
OVERALL RECOMMENDATION:
The other copper cookware sets which are 90% copper are only a little more money. Given the quality issues with the lids and discoloration on the insides of the All Clad pans, it’s worth the extra dough to get top notch quality OR go the complete opposite direction and get a very affordable stainless steel set.
