    Third layer is made from a solid layer of copper for superior heat distribution.

    The Al-Cu-Al sandwich is total BS, like the RRP. Laughable if you know anything about metals.
    Copper adds nothing except colour, but it is buried (the visible ring is separate and cosmetic).
    Cu base was commonly used before the superior aluminium (thermal to weight) layer was available.

    Equivalent product $40 normal price with 25-year guarantee:

      Not equivalent if not oven safe.

        Sorry, my error. The Sensuell model is indeed oven-safe.

      The Cu base is cosmetic, but is that a problem? It looks nice IMO and if you have a kitchen where your pots and pans are on display, maybe it is worth paying extra for something that looks nice.

      The Ikea pan is thinner. I am sure it is fine for most people, but it isn't an equivalent product in looks or performance.

        Copper base does look nice, but this isn't one.
        The base is steel, and copper sandwiched inside aluminium. Very odd.

        The Ikea pan is thinner.

        Source? Wild guess? Prejudice?

        …That Ikea pan is one of the thickest and heaviest stainless steel pans I've ever held. It's actually very well built and heats very evenly. People bag on it for being Ikea but that Sensuell lineup is imo one of the best things Ikea make

      copper transfers heat better than aluminium or iron, so it should even out the heat to avoid hot spots and make the pan more responsive to flame adjustments. Usually for doing low temperature stuff not searing steaks.

        copper transfers heat better than aluminium or iron

        Aluminium does a better job for the same weight. Weight is the relevant metric, not thickness.
        What metal is used in heatsinks?
        Same for electricity, regardless of cost, aluminium is superior for transmission lines. Less weight for same conductivity.

        You can of course achieve the same result with copper or any other metal, but at the cost of extra weight.

        • oznik on 16/05/2020 - 15:56

          The best heatsinks are copper, aluminium is chosen for cost.

          Aluminium wiring worked out great in us houses, due to its poor thermal transfer fires are common place in older houses, they have gone back to copper even though it costs more.

          • bargaino on 16/05/2020 - 16:28

            @oznik: The best heatsink is diamond. Copper is chosen for cost :-) Cheapest ones are iron.

            Copper does have advantages, e.g. in heat-pipes. It depends if weight or bulk is more important.

            But most heatsinks are aluminium.

            Aluminium wiring worked out great in us houses,

            (OT) Those problems were due to bad termination, not the thermal properties of the metal. Copper has better mechanical and chemical properties for cable.

          For the same weight, Aluminium would be three times thicker than copper.

          • bargaino on 16/05/2020 - 17:55

            @Bob Lou: Why would you want that?
            Al has 60% the conductivity and 30% the density.

            So a real-world comparison (e.g. frying pan): for the same thermal conductivity, Al is 70% thicker, and half the weight.

              @bargaino: It might help with induction cooktops?

              Induction cooktops require a ferrous metal (magnetic) to work properly.
              At a guess maybe that's why the copper is in there, so that electricity/current/however induction works heats the pan better.

              I have no idea how induction works, but I do have an induction cooktop… and any of my pans that have copper in them doe seem to work A LOT better than those without copper.

              I also have Lodge cast iron pans that work terrific, but the Mrs finds them too heavy- hence the copper combo ones.

              • bargaino on 16/05/2020 - 20:00

                @UFO: Basically, you need a pan that a magnet can stick to. So test if unsure.
                (It needs to induce magnetic domains to move in the metal, not current.)
                Copper is not magnetic. Stainless steel may or may not.

      That IKEA pan is oven safe, fyi

      • bargaino on 16/05/2020 - 15:37

        Thanks! i thought handle had plastic, but it is actually silicone.

    I think the sempre models are better.

      They're supposed to be better. That's why they cost more

  • blackwalnut on 16/05/2020 - 16:28

    Anyone recommend any of these for induction ? Have Analon but have bowed so don’t keep flat surface for even cooking . How are the IKEA ones?
