Classical Range 28cm Copper Sauté Pan with Cast Iron Handle and Helper Handle

"best pan I've ever had"

This pan, as you might expect from Falk and for the price, is exceptional. Basically, you get what you pay for. Top stuff.

"HUGE pan, but HEAVY!!!"

Huge flat base, ideal for sauteing large amounts of food. Heat distribution is excellent just as you would expect from copper, and easy to clean too when you are done. My only reservation about this has to be the weight. It is really, really heavy and would definitely not suit a petit female chef!

"excellent, but doubts about handle shape"

Key benefit is copper construction giving very even heating, especially as this is 2.5mm thick, so you don't have hot spots and burn stuff. This is of course the whole point of buying a copper pan. I like the stainless lining rather than tin, for greater robustness and I don't perceive any magic in a tin surface - even heating is what stops sticking. Nice feature is the radius of the bottom edge is quite large, so good for stirring. In 28cm size, it is fairly heavy, though not excessive, but does need the helper handle. I quite like the brushed rather than polished finish, and overall construction and feel exudes quality One negative point, losing a star; I feel the (main) handle comes up rather high and at a funny angle. Maybe it just needs getting used to. Price is OK for 2.5mm copper, albeit not cheap by any means. Service and delivery was exemplary. This gets used a lot - and the steep angled handle is still slightly annoying. Good item for all that

"Cooking big!"

I love the size and sturdiness of these pan. Its big surface and higher sides makes for a less messy affair when sauteing or frying. Works very well for prawns or fish or even steaks. I am tented to try it outdoors in an open fire....

"Worth every pound!"

A monster of a vessel, this sauté pan allows you to fit in more ingredients in a single layer, saving you time by reducing the number of batches when browning food. What I used to have to cook in 3 or 4 batches can now be done in 1 or 2. There are no hotspots. Food browns beautifully and the pan is extremely responsive to heat changes. The pan is very easy to clean after a soak. The pan's long handle is conveniently slanted. This means that despite the pan's large size, I am still able to place it in our domestic oven. Just put it in diagonally. The pan is as heavy as it looks even without food. Therefore the helper handle is a welcome addition as the pan's weight can be difficult to support solely with the long handle. A sauté pan is a must have in my kitchen!

"feeling hot hot hot"

I had red many reviews about copper pans, all saying how great they are to cook with so I thought I would give it a try & I was not disappointed, it heats up quickly and retains a constant temperature ensuring perfect meals every time. thank you falk culinair

"Fantastic Buy"

How amazing,a fantastic size sauté pan for cooking with high heat. No hot spots perfect size for cooking for 3 or more. I have been cooking professionally for over 30 yrs using Bourget as well as Mauviel. There main down fall is there up keep. Falk has come up with a perfect solution using there brushed copper, Now you can spend more time cooking than cleaning. With there invention of bimetal technology with stainless steal cleaning is made easier as well as no fear of retinning in the future. Total convert to Falk Copper vessels. Inherit Tin Line, Buy Stainless Steal. My new moto

"You know you want it"

Having previously owned copper sauce pans, this was my first experience with sautéing with copper. I had heard that copper allows for great high heat cooking. My first use involved pan frying steak, which had a lite olive oil marinade. Unfortunately the pan had gotten a lot hotter than i expected and the oil spattered and burnt on to the interior surface, requiring a great deal of effort to clean. Since then i have given this pan a lot more respect with regards to how i use it and what i cook in it, and i have been rewarded with consistently reliable performance. It's very heavy when loaded with food, but the size makes it a very versatile item.

"Beautiful pan"

Excellent to cook with, heavy (as it should be!) so the handle helps a lot. Very pleased with my purchase. Recommended

"The Finest Copper pans on the market"

I have used French stainless-steel-lined copper pans for many years, but my first purchase of a Falk saucier convinced me to replace ALL my French copper for Falk pans. And now I am thinking of replacing some of my stainless-steel All-Clad pots and pans with Falk equivalents....the Falk pans are BEAUTIFUL, cook like a dream, and do NOT need to be polished after every use, as the French pans require! I'm hooked!! Sandi G
