The heat control was fantastic--as good as any pan as I'd ever used. Unlike Mauviel's ubiquitous Cuprinox line--the very expensive copper-based cookware--the Inducinox line and other non-copper lines of Mauviel do not appear to be readily available in the US. Among the few places States-side that carry non-copper Mauviel are Zabar's in NYC, J.B. Prince in NYC, and La Cuisine in Alexandria, VA. I'm interested in picking up some non-copper Mauviel pieces, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. I know of the Inducinox line (for induction stoves, but usable on all stoves), a Pro-inox line that is a standard 3-ply aluminum/stainless steel (and supposedly similar to Sitram Profiserie), an all-aluminum line, and a "Cook's Style" line that is supposedly 7-ply(!), and includes an induction layer. In particular, if anyone has any experience with the 7-ply Mauviel cookware, I'd be interested in hearing their thoughts. At jbprince.com, the 7-ply stuff is cheaper than the Inducinox, so I wonder if there is any difference performance-wise. Thoughts? (And please.... no All-Clad recommendations! I know it's good, but I'm just interested in Mauviel here.) ;-) Wed Mar 28 09:43:44 -0700 2007 82374 DG14973 1 2430500 I agree with you on the Mauviel Induc'Inox -- it's my fully-clad stainless pan of choice. The 7-ply must be new. I will have to check it out. Don't like the look of the handles, though -- not as substantial as the cast iron Induc'inox handles. I wouldn't get too excited about the 7 layers, probably same performance as SS All-Clad, with the 3 layers.

I have the older style with the dark grey cast iron handles and it's been used everyday for 10 years and still looks new. it preforms well on both gas and electric range. It can be hard to find, especially the older style with the cast iron handles (my favorite). I found a small cookware shop in Alexandria, Va. that has almost every piece in stock - if they don't have it they'll order it for you. They're an all Mauviel store: copper and stainless. Years ago you could purchase at any Williams-Sonoma (which I first found it) but then they signed an exclusivity contract with All-Clad for their stainless line and the Stainless Mauviel line disappeared from their shelves. Anyway thought I'd pass on the store I found if anyone is interested. http://www.lacuisineus.com/ Mon Sep 14 11:35:02 -0700 2009 2430500 139101 beauxgoris
