Know before you buy
To maintain the hammered finish, use the included copper cleaner periodically to remove tarnish. Avoid the dishwasher entirely, as it will damage the copper and the bronze handles; instead, hand wash with mild soap and a soft cloth.
Tin has a lower melting point than stainless steel, so it is best suited for low to medium heat. Avoid preheating the pans while empty, as this can cause the tin lining to melt.
No, solid copper is not magnetic and will not work on induction surfaces unless you use an induction interface disk. These pans are designed for gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.
Tin is naturally low-stick and provides a traditional cooking surface that is highly prized by professional chefs for its performance. It is also easily repaired or 'retinned' by specialists if the lining wears down after years of heavy use.
Yes, because the handles are made of solid bronze and are riveted directly to the copper, they will conduct heat. Always use an oven mitt or kitchen towel when handling the cookware while it is on the stove.
The set includes a frying pan, a saucepan, and a braiser, along with a set of cherrywood utensils and a specialized copper cleaner, all housed in a wooden storage box.
