Do they make 2mm? or is it a mistake? *edit* it's a cast iron-handled chef's pan too btw. According to their site, it would appear to be only made in 2.5mm Thu Apr 23 03:45:30 -0700 2009 180623 Soop 1 4620861 Only in 2.5 mm for that series AFAIK however I've seen different sellers get those numbers wrong several times including places like WS.

I'd imagine the 20cm saucier will double as a handy saucepan with 1.6 litre capacity. Thu Apr 23 07:58:47 -0700 2009 4620861 180623 Soop 1 4624571 Some years ago, Mauviel actually made two lines of iron-handled tin-lined copper, the thicker 2.5 mm (and sometimes thicker than 2.5 mm) that survives today and a less-expensive line that was in the 2.0 mm range, now discontinued. (This is in addition to the 1.6-mm brass handled pieces intended more for serving than cooking, and the stainless-lined pieces). I have a number of those 2-mm pieces that I believe I may have purchased at Zabars in NYC, back in the day when they had an extensive selection of copper upstairs. I also have a wide selection of their, and other manufacturers', pieces ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 mm. I find very little difference, if any, in the cooking qualities of the 2-mm Mauviel copper, so if that pan is available at a good price I'd recommend buying it. ETA: Not that you'd be able to tell anything from it, but my avatar is osso bucco browning in a medium-sized Mauviel 2-mm evasee (splayed sauce pan).

Yeah, I'm still wondering if it's worth it (for me), but I have at least £70, maybe £80 in my penny jar, and it's my birthday soon. Seeing as the penny jar is for treats, I think I'll save up the £100, and have a look-see for other eyecatchers. Fri Apr 24 07:44:56 -0700 2009 4624571 180623 Soop 1 4626823 The Mauviel Cuprinox Style (I think they just changed the name of this line to M'somethingorother) line is generally 2mm stainless-lined or nonstick in a few cases with shiny stainless handles. I have a nonstick frypan in this line, and it's quite a good pan. The heat distribution is still pretty even, and they're lighter and easier to handle than the heavier copper.
