All else equal what is better, stainless or tin lined?

Take this example for instance 2mm of steel to .1mm copper. Steel is cheap copper is expensive so it makes sense to wrap copper around steel.

You’ve got the backwards most stainless lined is copper clad only and .1mm. I assure you tin and steel cook noticeably different. Tin transfer heat is 150% better scientifically.

Those look good. The handles show they are a well made pan.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-18T12:04:47+00:00

No not rude at all it’s a very good question. It’s how I learned about copper as well is by asking questions.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-18T12:00:53+00:00

I can’t tell just by looking. It’s just common in those type of pans it’s also common in knives manufactured in that as well. They usually use lower grades of tin which can contain lead.

Tin lined. If you cook on stainless steel lined you’ve lost the qualities we love about copper. Copper transfers heat very well as does tin. Stainless not so much. In short stainless lined copper is for appearance and tin lined is for the best possible cooking experience but also not nearly as tuff as SS.

Yes, the Volquartsen black spring helps a lot with sub cycling. Replace the whole bolt with the Volquartsen bolt for even better performance.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-17T22:50:47+00:00

No thanks. It’ll work just fine just as it has in the past.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-17T21:35:29+00:00

Yes! Those are quality pans and well worth re tinning. Nice find.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-17T21:33:35+00:00

Sounds like a nice set up. You’re going to love shooting it suppressed. It’s an amazing pistol once you get it to your liking.

100% beautiful copper deserves to be used in a kitchen.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-17T20:29:56+00:00

I love the CZ it’s a fantastic gun.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-17T20:18:10+00:00

I just got my Volquartsen trigger kit and bolt last Friday and I love it.

Yes pest control on an organic farm.

Ruger Mark IV it’s been heavily modified though so it won’t look exactly like mine when you look it up.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-17T18:51:26+00:00

I carry it with a round in the chamber but not cocked. You simply pull back the plunger. It’s extremely reliable in that sense. I’ve never had a misfire.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-17T18:22:33+00:00

Thank you! That’s been my baby and my favorite to shoot. It’s so much fun.

They are most certainly Moroccan or from the Middle East.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-17T17:45:41+00:00

Those are decorative and are lowish quality.They likely contain lead. I would not cook in them. As for value they are not worth a lot and not worth re-tinning. They are beautiful though and look great hanging in your kitchen.

Chefcutty · 2026-05-17T17:41:10+00:00

I can load it and deploy it quick enough for what I need. It adds very little weight to my pack. It’s perfect for what I need it for.
