Question 1

Sometimes my wife hits me with her pans.  Would these hurt less since they are copper?

Accepted Answer

I hope this was a joke.
If your wife hits you with her pans you have a bigger problem than hurt less or more.
And whoever said copper is a softer metal and will hurt less maybe was hit on the head for real.

Question 2

a description of the exact specs?

Accepted Answer

Bourgeat copper is the best copper cookware available. There are 4 features that make it the best: 1. 2-1/2mm pure red copper sandwiched to 1/10mm of 18/10 Polished stainless, Only Bourgeat polishes their copper on both the inside and outside. A polished interior means less sticking. 2. Drip-proof rims to prevent sauce from running down the side of the pan. 3. Drop-in lids that fit like a glove. 4. Counter balanced cast iron handles with extra heavy rivets. Made of copper, with stainless steel lining. Includes: 1. Casserole 9 1/2'', 5 3/4 qts. #367024 2. Copper lid 9 1/2" #365024 3. Copper sauce pan 7 1/8", 2 5/8 qts. #360018 4. Copper lid 7 1/8" #365018 5. Copper flared saute pan 9 1/2", 2 3/4 qts. #373024 6. Copper lid 9 1/2" #365024 7. Copper Brazier 11", 5 1/4 qts. #374028 8. Copper lid 11" #365028

Question 3

You mentioned stainless steel tinned, does that mean these will need to be retinned at some point like the Ruffoni?

Accepted Answer

Matfer Bourgeat copper cookware is only made with an 18/10 stainless steel interior, I believe you have misread the term "Lining or Lined" as Tinning or Tinned

Question 4

Do Matfer Bourgeat stainless steel lined copper (2.5mm) pans with cast iron handles have a protective coating on the iron handles like Mauviel does?

Accepted Answer

I've had a number of these Bourgeat copper pans for at least 15 years now. I've never treated the handles, but have had no rust at all. Don't dishwasher them & allow them to air dry. It's fairly dry here in Minneapolis, so if you live in humid conditions seasoning the handles might be a good idea.
