Modern copper pans are lined with stainless steal. Falk in Belgium pretty much makes all the copper material for cookware by using high pressure to fuse a thin layer of steal to a thick layer of copper. This makes the pans safe for any acidity and still benefits from coppers amazing conductivity.
Yeah in that case then I’d get them re-tinned. Might not be the easiest service to find today. I’d still prefer the modern ones though. They’re so good. By far the best cooking pots/pans for many use cases.
I can't tell if you're ignorant or trolling. They're not commonly sold, because poor people have to make due with $10 teflon pans (you know, the "forever chemicals") at Dollar General.
The 12 piece set is $4200. You were probably too poor growing up to ever learn anything about this is my guess. But to reduce your anxiety, I'll point out that the cooking surface is tinned.
I can't tell if you're ignorant or trolling. You have evidently not read the case reports of copper toxicity from cooking utensils resulting in irreversible organ damage.
Even if the internal surface is tin, it will easily thin out when on the stovetop, resulting in the food coming in contact with copper, leaking much copper into the food. Tin is also not okay with acidic foods either, again thinning out and bringing the copper into contact with food. I guess money doesn't teach even an iota of common sense.
In short, it is not worth even $42. If you're making a museum at home with your utensils, you're solving no one's problem, not even your own.
Again this was solved a long time ago. And even with tinned pans you’d have them relined. But with stainless steal linings that’s not needed. It has been this way for decades. Get with the program.
As various comments have noted, stainless steel and cast iron are the main choices for high-heat cooking. The steel can be either 18/10, otherwise 3-ply or 5-ply with an aluminum core.
> microwaved in a glass bowl
There is nothing wrong with microwaving in a glass or ceramic bowl. Both are perfectly safe, so long as the glass is like pyrex and the ceramic is lead-free.
