La Manufacture
How this piece is made

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.

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 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.

M’Passion Tôle Tart Mould
Price range: R190.00 through R790.00 Inc VAT
Mauviel’s bakeware. Black steel takes heat quickly and gives a properly browned base rather than a pale one, and 1 mm through the whole mould is professional gauge, not supermarket tinplate.

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.
