It’s hard to explain. I’m still a fan of the Mauviel brand, but not a snob as I used to be back in 2017, when I thought Mauviel was the best cookware brand in the world.
M’Cook performs really well - but if I was buying new PLY/clad cookware today, I would buy a combination of different brands, among them there could be a couple of M’Cook pieces.
Don’t get me wrong, Mauviel M’Cook still is high end cookware, but there are other brands out there like De Buyer & Demeyere that performs as well or better for certain tasks in the kitchen.
I guess you can compare it to buying a Ferrari and thinking this is the best sportscar in the world, and then later on you try a Maserati, a Pagani and a Porsche GT.
I also began buying Mauviel M250, De Buyer copper and Falk 2.5 copper cookware in 2018, and that made me look at my M’Cook cookware with different eyes. It’s still great cookware, but not the be all end of cookware.
M’Cook is my daily cookware, I store sauces and food in my M’Cook pans in the fridge and they get scracthed and dinged up a bit - it’s ok. Copper cookware is my luxury cookware and I try to baby my copper cookware a bit, I’m still using it to the max, but I’m not abusing it like I sometimes do with my M’Cook pans & pots.
