M’Cook

Five plies, 2.6 mm, hammered and mirror-polished. Mauviel’s emblematic stainless collection.

The default recommendation for an induction kitchen, and for anyone who wants to cook rather than maintain.

M’Cook is built for induction and for everything else. Five layers — 18/10 stainless on the cooking surface, three successive layers of aluminium, and a ferritic stainless skin outside — give it conductivity close to copper with none of copper’s demands. Mauviel’s own measurement: one litre of water to a rolling boil in three minutes.

The layers run up the walls, not just across the base, so heat climbs the sides of a stockpot instead of scorching a ring at the bottom. The exterior is hammered and mirror-polished, which is decorative and also hides the marks of a working kitchen better than a plain finish does.

It is the broadest collection on the site — 30 products, from a R2,180 round pan to a full 16-piece batterie — and the one to choose if you want cookware that simply does not need managing.

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.
