This bulk allows for a more consistent temperature when cooking delicate foods. In fact its so damn bad that except for cooking eggs and candy, everyone lines their copper cookware with either tin (the purists) or stainless steel (the new age hippies) . The ups of the LC to me is that: #1 I can cook acidic food (tomato based, vinegar reduction) without worrying about affecting the patina build-up, #2 it's enamel coating which supposedly is less sticky than the preseasoned Lodge, #3 it's pretty but this is trivial to me.
