Matfer Bourgeat 915901 8 Piece Copper Cookware Set

Cocinar en cobre tiene el detalle de la exactitud. Es en la producción de salsas, en el saltear de verduras, en el asar de la carne donde no hay comparaci’on con nada mas. Este juego de ollas es en verdad, una delicia, la olla 2q es exacta para presici’on, así las salsas. La olla expandida de 11 pulgadas, para comida grande de cocimiento lento. Una olla para sopa y un saucier, con el mango muy abajo que es prácticamente para saltear. La combinación y calidad de Matfer B es muy alta y 2.5mm con 2.3 de cobre es excelente. Existen condiciones donde el cobre sin recubrimiento sea mejor: al batir claras de huevo por ejemplo, o en el cocimiento fritura como el de las carnitas (muy de Michoacán). Se extraña un sartén grande: 12”, en la composición para ser mas que extraordinaria. Mas sin embargo el placer de cocinar es este juego sera una alegria, siempre y cuando el factor de la limpieza manual y dedicada, no te molesten

These are heavy copper pots with a thin stainless steel inner cladding. They heat up quickly and evenly and retain heat well. Overall, a practical selection with unmatched quality. Five stars!

Bourgeat is the very, very best. I also own the 5 piece Mauviel 250c set (and still use it). However Bourgeat is the best. Better than Falk, better than Mauviel. Real professional cooking tools. Improved my cooking in time, quality and taste. Please do not waste your money on any of the 150 series from the other supplier. You also will not appreciate burning your hands with bronze handles. A sole exception - I find my small 8" 150c fry pan useful for saute' of small quantities of mushrooms, bell peppers, shallots for omelettes. It's faster than a 250 for very small amounts of food. Heavy copper is expensive. It is an investment. It is worth it, many times over. I wish I had purchased this stuff when I was 26. $2000.00 averaged over 20 years is $100 a year; over 40 years it's $50 bucks a year. It will last much more than a lifetime, easily several generations. Your grandchildren will thank you, and often.

Because of the cost in starting over with Copper, I vacillated between which brand and which type (copper or carbon steel)? At 78, I didn’t want to regret my choice. The Chicago Times article a few months ago convinced me that Matfer Bourgeat was the best copper choice and I liked that the iron handles were really iron handles and not just made to look like iron handles. Then the weight was a concern, as well as not being able to let the dishwasher do all the clean up for me. I finally took the plunge and ordered the Bourgeat Copper 8 piece set, with iron handles and during the 3 months it took for them to get here, I changed my mind a hundred times, still wondering if they’d be too heavy or too hard to clean. They finally arrived and the first time I used the first piece it got a red patina that is unbelievably, surprisingly, incredibly beautiful! I don’t think I’ll ever polish these lovely pieces. They are too beautiful! And, they aren’t just a pretty face! Cooking is a delight, cleaning them is wonderful, easy, and a lovely simple ritual. My choice couldn’t have been better and one day my Grands and Greats will enjoy them as well!

I received it within 2 weeks . It is a heavy but quality products. Cooking time faster and cook better. I really read all the comments and do my research before i bought it. I also followed the other customers' friendly reminds. One of the lid had "mark" (it seem like without pack well) but it would not impact the quality. I still kept it. Hopefully, the seller can pay attention the packaging for future customers. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quality and fair price.
