Falk Copper Cookware
The benefits of copper cookware are well-known and hard to dispute. Falk Copper Cookware is an excellent conductor of heat and distributes heat evenly over the bottom and sides of the pan. Falk is known for its specially developed bimetal copper cookware, which features a thin layer of stainless steel that anchors a thick plate of copper. Falk Copper Cookware offers the best quality and satisfaction with their pots that have been handcrafted in a small workshop in Belgium since 1958. Falk offers a lifetime warranty on the entirety of their copper cookware lines.
The frying pan from the Falk Copper Core Line is sure to become your new go-to pan for all your holiday cooking this season. The Copper Core Line is designed to be used on all surfaces, even induction, which is usually the exception for copper cookware. This is thanks to the revolutionary 0.2 mm stainless layer that lines the inside and the 0.4 mm ferromagnetic lining on the outside, encasing the 1.9 mm full copper core, making it induction compatible.
The copper core is visible on the rim of the pan making for a beautiful appearance. While this pan is on the rather heavy side, with the 28 cm pan weighing in at 2.4 kg (nearly 5 pounds), the handle’s arch and shallow thumb groove on top make it very secure to hold overhand or underhand. The fry pan has a low edge which makes it easy to lift out tricky food items like eggs and meat.
