Thinking about investing in some thick copper, SS lined.  Small and large sauce pans, and a 10" skillet.

Anybody done this?  Was it worth the $$?

Thanks.

Copper, stainless steel, cast iron, carbon steel, etc.  It all works well, and there isn't much difference between them.  Get what you like, not what someone else thinks is best.

I have all kinds of expensive pots and pans because I like trying stuff out, and about half the time a non-stick skillet from Sam's Club gets used.

I have a big set of Allclad Copper Core. It works great, but it is HEAVY. I'm not sure it would be my first choice, in retrospect. The big dutch oven pan is definitely worth it, but the skillets and salute pans are too heavy to really "toss" as you saute.

i only have a few pieces, mainly for making caramel or working with egg whites. No need to have a full set.

And it can be a pain in the ass to keep shiny and tarnish free.

Right...they all conduct heat differently.

I've got a metric crap load of Mauviel's.  I bought them ala carte over years but damn do they cook nice.
I would hate to think what it would cost to replace my pots and pans in todays dollars.  PITA to keep
polished and clean but they make my kitchen look awesome.  8 or 9 sauce pans/Saute pans, 5-6 Au gratin
pans, bowls for egg whites (no cream of tartar for me), 2 rounds and platters and such.
