Why is the Tools of the Trade Belgique stainless steel more expensive than the copper bottom Belgique at Macy's?
The copper bottom pieces are easier to make than the stainless steel ones. The stainless steel pieces actually have a copper bottom, but it's clad on the bottom and a stainless steel skin is welded over it. Notice how there is a little "pedestal" on the bottom of the stainless pieces? Yup. That's the copper insert sandwiched on the bottom. And you know the difference as far as cleaning them, yes? Copper always seems to take a little more work. But gosh, doesn't it look nice! Belgique makes some good looking pieces. Yes, indeedy. Best of luck making your choice. Bon appétit!
