Copper Frying Pan with Lid
Best artisanal choice for home cooks preparing delicate, acidic dishes.
Experience the heritage craftsmanship of the Netherton Foundry Copper Frying Pan, meticulously handmade in the UK. Its unique tin lining is ideal for acidic foods, preventing flavor transfer and making it perfect for delicate dishes like jams and pastas. While it excels at gentle cooking, high-heat searing is best reserved for cast or spun iron cookware. This pan offers a generous 3-liter capacity and is oven safe up to 356°F. Gentle hand washing with non-abrasive materials is recommended to maintain its quality.

Know before you buy
The tin lining acts as a non-reactive barrier, which is essential for cooking acidic ingredients like tomatoes or fruit for jams. It prevents the copper from leaching into your food and ensures that delicate flavors remain untainted.
No, this pan is designed for gentle, controlled cooking rather than high-heat searing. We recommend using a cast or spun iron skillet for tasks that require intense heat, as the tin lining is sensitive to extreme temperatures.
No, this copper pan is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is best suited for gas or electric stoves.
This pan is not dishwasher safe and requires gentle hand washing. Use only non-abrasive sponges and mild soap to protect the tin lining and the exterior copper finish from scratches.
You can safely use this pan in the oven at temperatures up to 356°F. Always ensure you use oven mitts, as the handle and lid will become hot during the process.
