But everything just floats out of the pan coated in mercury....

As for the Aqua Regia youmight need to find one of those old corning glass skillets.

My pots before moving to Europe were largely from Dehillerin, Paris. Copper with stainless inserts. Wonderfull. Couldn't justify the price to repatriate them. But the prices have skyrocketed....
