(MONEY Magazine) – Copper pots are the sort of luxury most of us go without--we know they'll enhance our cooking experience, but we can't justify the price tag. Enter Broadway Panhandler (broadwaypanhandler.com). Through December, the store is offering a five-piece Bourgeat Copper Cookware set, valued at $996, for just $480. (Shipping is free.) The set includes a 2 1/2-quart saucepan with lid, a 5 3/4-quart casserole with lid and a 9 1/2-inch fry pan. Each piece has a solid 2 1/2-millimeter copper body (considered professional-grade) and is lined with 18/10 stainless steel; the steel is easier to maintain than the traditional tin, which needs to be relined every three years or so. The pan rims are flared for strength and no-drip pouring. The handles, made of extra-heavy cast iron, are ergonomically designed and secured with iron rivets. At last, a chance to experience copper's unparalleled ability to conduct heat evenly and quickly without spending a fortune. Look out Julia Child, here we come. --AMY WILSON
