Flick My Bic Nut Cracker: French Copper Cookware - Is it Worth Passing Down?

As I stood holding a supposed Stradivarius violin turned into an ash tray, my inner thoughts were far from harmonious. It was as if someone had taken a masterpiece and transformed it into something utterly useless. Similarly, I often wonder if French copper cookware is worth passing down through generations.

While France is renowned for its exquisite clothing designers and toiletries, I've yet to see rugged Carhartts or Old Spice being worn by the Parisians. Perhaps that's because they can't safely drink tap water in France - a stark contrast to what we're used to here. It raises an interesting question: is this where the term 'Flick of a Bic' originated?

Ingenico, Eurocopter, and Citroen are just a few examples of renowned French products that have made a significant impact globally. However, when it comes to cookware, I believe there's something to be said about cast iron cookware being passed down from generation to generation.

Recently, a friend gifted me an early Christmas present - an early-generation cast iron cookware piece. As you know from reading this blog, I'm a huge advocate for the benefits of cast iron cookware. Not only is it versatile, but its durability and ability to be restored with care make it truly worth preserving.

French copper cookware may be the chef's choice in France, but when it comes down to it, has anything produced in France ever been worthy of being passed down through generations? I'm not convinced that French copper cookware is that item. Instead, I believe that cast iron cookware - with its rich history and ability to withstand the test of time - is the true treasure worth preserving.
