Mauviel Copper Cookware
Speaking of one pot recipes – we recent upgraded our decade-old soup pot to a gorgeous Mauviel copper stockpot. The difference has been life changing.
Copper might seem intimidating but it’s actually super user-friendly! It is unrivaled in its ability heat and cool quickly and Mauviel is the best in the game. Because of that, everything can be cooked on low to medium low heat. It heats uniformly at these low temperatures meaning bits of food don’t burn in one spot. The handles also stay cool during use.
And it’s pretty. Sooooooooooo pretty. 
Mauviel is the choice of so many top chefs around the world who put their pans through their paces dozens of times per day for years. I know if these pans can stand up to the rigors of a professional kitchen it will last us a lifetime. Mauviel stands by this too with a lifetime warranty on all of their pans.
Interested in starting your own Mauviel collection? Here are some of my favorites. These are also great for holiday gifts or for a gift registry if you have a special occasion coming up.

This was delicious! I threw it all in my crockpot and used homemade taco seasoning (why anyone would buy the packets is beyond me). This is definitely something to make again. Thank you for a yummy recipe!

Made this for lunch today, with my own taco seasoning, it’s not an ingredient freely available in the UK, and it was delicious. Full of flavour and so handy to throw everything in the slow cooker (crocpot) for an overnight cook. Have already made a stock for the freezer
