I used to own two Mauviel M250C frying pans, the 26 cm and 30 cm, but I sold them a couple of years ago, because I didn’t quite fancy the low side pan design these Mauviel pans had.
The low sides made a mess on the stovetop and walls.
They seared steaks beautifully - but when I compared them to my (then) Demeyere Pawson 7-PLY frying pan, I felt the Pawson performed marginally better for searing jobs.
Don’t get me wrong - 2.5 copper bimetal is fantastic for searing steaks, no doubt - and my next purchase might well be the trio of Falk 2.5 copper frying pans, you can buy in a bundle for circa €550.
My Pawson frying pans were the best searing pans I’ve ever tried - only the polymerized oil stains on the sidewalls made me sell my Pawson pans.
