Are there pans you would choose over those Falk's for any application?

 

Just in case you're still shopping...

 

Falk asked me to evaluate Coer when it first came out.  I was comped the skillet you pictured above.  It's been in service for a couple years now.  This triply is marginally thinner than the "regular" bimetal, by virtue of Falk having to make room within its existing tooling to accommodate three layers instead of two--the copper got thinned.  So, consequently, Coer is not quite as even and substantially less downwardly responsive that the bimetal lines.  It's also practically as heavy.  What I did not appreciate until after I reviewed Coer is that the exteriors, which allow the line to "work" on induction, are somewhat prone to pitting and discoloration.  It's not a terrible problem, but a neat freak who wants to hang the pans might be disappointed.  I would certainly NOT run them through a DW.   It's still very good cookware, but I think you'll find Coer on induction to be noticeably less even than your bimetal on gas.

 

I'd also encourage you to pick the Demeyere plancha/teppanyaki over any other.
