Pixar consulted with Michelin Star chef Thomas Keller of The French Laundry in Napa for Ratatouille. He taught them how to set up a French kitchen; it's why all the pots are copper - Keller's kitchen is copper all over.

And it's his confit byaldi recipe that Remy makes as ratatouille.

Heats up and cools down quickly. Great for sauces, candies, desserts, etc. Not great for high heat searing meats.

They are a staple in French cooking though. Mauviel is the famous maker
