This saucepan uses the thermal conductivity of aluminum (in the core) and copper (outside). Heated to below the rim in a very short time, it reacts just as quickly to the addition of heat as it does to the reduction of heat - just as we are used to from cookware with copper content. Thirdly, the stainless steel lining on the inside ensures a certain ease of care and robustness. The stainless steel handle is designed as a hollow handle and therefore hardly heats up during use. Use the saucepan from the Cuvée series by Falk Culinair as a sauté pan, sauce pan, for preparing dairy dishes (semolina pudding, rice pudding) or poached eggs à la Eggs Benedict, for example.

Falk Culinair knows a thing or two about mixing materials. Originally specializing in the processing of copper, the use of so-called bimetals is now standard practice at the cookware manufacturer based near Brussels. In most cases, the precious metal with the elegant appearance is combined with one layer (inside) or two layers (outside and inside) of stainless steel by rolling. This is the classic. In this new range of pots, called Cuvée, the mix of materials is different: lighter overall, but by no means less functional - and therefore very comparable in terms of cooking properties and adapted to our modern cooking habits. Copper (outside) and stainless steel (inside) are joined by a thin layer of aluminum in the middle. The conductive properties of aluminum are similar to those of copper, ensuring even heat distribution from the base of the pot or pan to the edges. As with traditional copper cookware, no heat islands are formed. And even in this combination of three, the cookware reacts reliably to the addition or reduction of heat in the short term - ideal on gas, but also suitable for induction stoves thanks to a layer of ferromagnetic, polished iron sprayed onto the outside of the base. Handles and grips are made of stainless steel, which has the advantage that they hardly heat up (as stainless steel is the least heat-conducting material of the three) and can be handled without potholders. What's more, this cookware is even ovenproof.
