Great, I meant that heavy copper is a good thing and probably a better indication of quality than a ‘brand’
stamped. I do think it’s likely nickel plate, it’s hard to tell, but if you’re curious, if you study the edge, it will be thinner than stainless, and magnetic- especially the inside bottom.
Stainless liners can be perceived (as thin as they are) as having some thickness when compared to an electroplating. Even more interesting is that stainless used as liners may have some magnetic quality along the sides of the pan, but not on the inside bottom. It a decent magnet sicks to the inside bottom, it’s probably nickel. There is also a chemical test that you can buy that’s relatively inexpensive. Nickel is more durable than tin, but not as durable as stainless, and some people develop allergies to nickel.
