Know before you buy
Translated from French as 'does everything,' this style of pan is designed for versatility. Its 3-inch depth and 11-inch diameter make it suitable for sautéing, braising, simmering, and even shallow frying.
No, this pan is not induction compatible. Because it is constructed from solid copper, it requires a gas or electric radiant cooktop to function properly.
This pan is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water. To maintain the copper's luster, you may occasionally need to use a copper-specific polish to remove natural oxidation.
No, this pan does not feature a non-stick coating. It is a traditional copper vessel, so you will need to use a small amount of oil, butter, or fat to prevent food from sticking during the cooking process.
While the brass handles are sturdy and designed for easy maneuvering, they will conduct heat. We recommend using oven mitts or a kitchen towel when handling the pan while it is on the stovetop or in the oven.
