M’Héritage 150 B

1.5 mm of copper, held in cast bronze. The M’Héritage most people should buy.

For a serious home cook who wants copper and will use it several times a week.

M’Héritage bonds 90% copper to 10% 18/10 stainless steel. You get copper’s conductivity on the outside and a stainless cooking surface inside that will not react with wine, tomato or lemon and never needs re-tinning. Mauviel calls it their true innovation, and it is the reason copper became practical for a home kitchen rather than a museum.

The 150 line is 1.5 mm thick — the everyday gauge. It heats faster than the 2 mm professional line and weighs noticeably less when full, which matters more than most buyers expect at 24 cm and above. The B is for bronze: cast, engraved Mauviel1830, and cooler in the hand than steel over a long braise.

Straight-edged and mirror-polished. Gas, electric, halogen and oven. Not induction — no copper-bodied pan is, apart from M’6 S.

Villedieu-les-Poêles, since 1830

A Mauviel craftsman at the bench in Villedieu-les-Poeles

The town has worked copper since the twelfth century. Mauviel opened there in 1830 and has not moved since. Sheet copper arrives flat in four thicknesses and leaves as a pan: rolled, cut, spun over a wooden chuck, planished by hand where the shape asks for it, then tinned or lined with stainless steel.
