Cooking evenness: This model was excellent for cooking evenness. A thermal imaging camera is used to evaluate the heating evenness of the frying pan. Food release: This model was good in releasing multiple eggs from the frypan. Four eggs are cooked in the frypan consecutively.

Nonstick food release: Nonstick food release score reflects the nonstick qualities of a pans interior by cooking four eggs consecutively without oil. An Excellent score indicates that all four eggs slid off the pan without assistance; A Poor score indicates that scraping was needed to release any egg from the pan and some egg residue was left on the pan.
Most of the lesser priced nonstick skillets I’ve encountered tend to be very light weight, which can lead to food burning if the heat isn’t regulated. Not sure how heavy this one is, but that would be a factor to consider for me. This is also a ceramic nonstick, and those seem to be safer than Teflon or others. However I’m not one to worry about that too much. I have one nonstick that I use for eggs and it’s fine.
So a little background first… I’ve been having some issues with the large burner on my stove. I don’t have the money for a new stove (right now), so I picked up a Duxtop (single) induction hob/burner. I am still navigating the “learning curve” of induction cooking and didn’t want to ruin my good cast iron skillets by overheating or making other errors. So I picked up two used skillets at Goodwill to learn on. I don’t want to use anything Teflon, as my girlfriend failed a recent memory test. I know there is conflicting information about Teflon, but I just don’t want to take the chance, so no Teflon, no PFOA and no PTFE. I found this “Red Copper” skillet and purchased it because a magnet stuck to the bottom, so I can use it with my induction burner/hob. For some reason, this skillet is GREAT!! It’s basically non-stick, kind of like Teflon. I checked the manufacturer’s website and they state no PFOA nor PTFE and the copper can’t leach as it is a “ceramic coating infused with pure copper”. Moreover, this thing can go in the oven up to 500 degrees (F). I’ve also found cleanup to be a breeze. So what’s the hitch?? There has to be some down side with this “Red Copper” pan. It is fairly cheap when purchased new. Does anyone know anything about these products?? Are they safe to use?? Does anyone have any experience with them?? I know its not a professional pan, but for a home cook… this skillet seems to check all of the boxes (for me).
The coating (the copper is there strictly for coloring) has no meaningful thermal effect. So the pan’s thermal attributes are the same as any aluminum pan of the same thickness. From your phopos, I’m estimating about 1.8mm. If there’s added aluminum in the disc base, the performance would be better, responsiveness worse.
This induction burner/hob does a great job at maintaining the temperature selected. I haven’t burnt anything yet, but I may have just jinxed myself… 
“Sunshine” really enjoys eggs over easy, so I make them for her when she asks. I just don’t want to contribute to her potential memory loss, if (in fact) there is a link.
Red Copper Pan Review Part 2: 4 Month Update
FAQ
What is red copper for?
Do red copper pans scratch?
Can red copper go in the dishwasher?
Can red copper go in the oven?
Is red copper cookware good?
It won’t have the same high quality as solid copper cookware but the copper and aluminium do help to conduct heat and eliminate hot spots. The Red Copper pan is easy to clean after cooking is done as it is dishwasher-safe. The pieces are also oven-safe up to 500°F. Is The Red Copper Cookware Worth It?
Which is better, green or red pepper?
Both are excellent foods to be part of a healthy diet. The specific choice of one or the other depends a lot on the objective. Both red and green peppers are a source of capsaicin, a phytochemical with beneficial health properties that improves neurological conditions, helps with weight loss and maintenance, glycemic control and insulin resistance.
Are red copper pans good?
Yes. Red Copper pans are made of ceramic coating with copper in it which is baked on top of an aluminum base. Copper that is solid is a good heat conductor. The company that makes the Red Copper brand says that adding copper dust to their ceramic coating makes the pan cook more evenly.
What kind of base does red copper use?
Red Copper uses an aluminum base for all of their cookware. Aluminum has several benefits. First of all, it’s cheap and easy to press into the right shapes. These material and manufacturing savings are passed along to you in the affordable price of the pans. Aluminum is also an exceptional heat conductor.
