La Manufacture

How this piece is made

  • Sheets of raw copper before forming

    The sheet

    Copper arrives flat, in 1.5, 2 and 2.6 mm. The gauge is chosen before anything is cut, and it is what the pan will cook like for the rest of its life.

  • Planishing hammers on the workshop block

    The hammer

    Where a shape needs tightening the metal is planished by hand. The marks left behind are the record of that, not a finish applied afterwards.

  • The Mauviel workshop in the early 1900s

    The same address

    The workshop photographed in the early 1900s is the workshop still in use. Villedieu-les-Poêles has worked copper since the twelfth century.

Made by Mauviel1830 in Villedieu-les-Poêles, Normandy. The Culinary Equipment Co is the appointed distributor for South Africa.

  • Mauviel is the leading cookware manufacturer for professional and household chefs throughout the world.
  • M’ELITE is a collection conceived for induction, solid and lasting. This range, very performing, is made of 5 layers, combining stainless steel, 3 successive layers of aluminum, and an exterior layer of ferritic stainless steel. This alloy ensures a perfect conductibility, thanks to a rapid and uniform distribution of the heat, all over the product.
  • 2.6 mm thickness.
  • Polished and hammered exterior
  • Heats fast, Cools fast and offers superior cooking control
  • Cast Stainless steel handles stay cool during use. Pouring rims on every shape. 
  • Hand wash only. 
  • Versatile: Can be used on all cooking surfaces. Gas, electric, halogen stovetops, induction and in the oven. Oven safe including under the broiler
  • Care. Do not use high heat for a long period of time. Do not leave empty pan on a heated burner for an extended period of time. Do not use metal utensils on the non-stick cooking surface. The use of scouring pads, steel wool, abrasive cleansers, bleach and/or oven cleaners is not recommended and can scratch or damage your cookware. Bleach will erode the Stainless Steel interior.
  • Maximum temperature. Our products have a superb conductivity, so cooktop knobs or controls cannot be used at their 100% heating power; they need to be used at a 60% capacity. It means on a level of 10, 6.
  •  

The plain mirror-polished sibling of M’Cook. Same five-ply construction, no hammering — a quieter surface, and a non-drip edge that pours a sauce without running down the side.

5 layers, drawn as one body. 2.6 mm from the outside face to the cooking surface.

The layers run up the sides, not just across the base. One litre of water to a rolling boil in three minutes, against seven in a pan with a disc bonded underneath.

Care

  • Hand washing is recommended for every Mauviel1830 piece. Detergents attack the coatings and the aluminium inside a multi-ply body.
  • On induction or ceramic, never go past two thirds of the hob’s power. Overheating is what warps a base and makes food stick, not the pan.

Made by Mauviel1830 in Villedieu-les-Poêles, Normandy. The Culinary Equipment Co is the appointed South African distributor.
