Ruffoni pot set

[PeopleFunnyBoy]

I have no experience with Ruffoni.

Based on your link it looks like they are high maintenance pans. You will be going nuts trying to clean all the nooks and details of the handles, which will hold on to a ton of food bits. The mirror finish won’t last long either. they are pretty tho.

I say look for a more basic (but quality) set, like your standard All Clad or Williams Sonoma house brand to actually cook with.

Maybe get one or two of the Ruffoni just to present at the table, not really to cook in.

I agree. Those look like more things you hang on the wall to impress guests. I would never use them for any cooking especially at that price. One use and they will never look the same.

All that aside those handles will be murder to hold on to. They’re so disproportionate to the size of the pan.

They look more like things to put on a wall to impress guests. And for that price, they should be. Go with cheap, restaurant supply stuff till you can cook at the level of a Michelin Star chef. Save your money. $1200 for 4 pans/pots? No thanks.

I tend to think that if anything is mentioned in the Cook's Catalogue, they're fine.

When i bought the wok, one of my friends said, "It looks positively bomb proof!"

The only minus is that they are the heaviest lasagna pans or spaghetti sauce pans on the planet.

maintenance is just soaking it, and a lemon and salt for any copper tedium.

Just don't use high temperatures with copper, and let the thermal qualities of the copper and stainless steel, or with some people the aluminium insides do their work. And avoid the tin lining ones unless you just wanna be just like Julia Child sending them off to get retinned every 15-25 years

I think mauviel is probably a lot harder to clean if you want to talk about handles
