Professional chefs are all too aware of how a few extra moments of heat can make or break a dish. That's why they love copper pans, which respond to heat in an instant. Mauviel's M'150s pans, which work on all hobs except induction, are revered as the world's finest. We especially love the versatile sauté casserole, which just as suitable for steaks as it is for curries—and it looks stunning when you take it straight from the hob (or oven) to the table.
