Know before you buy
Yes, this pan is fully functional for cooking. However, because it is a 19th-century piece, you should ensure the interior lining is properly maintained or professionally re-tinned if you intend to use it regularly for acidic foods.
No, this pan is not induction compatible. Copper is non-magnetic, so it will not work on induction surfaces, though it performs excellently on gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.
This pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain its gleaming finish, hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, and use a dedicated copper polish periodically to remove any natural oxidation or tarnish.
No, this is a traditional copper pan without any synthetic nonstick coatings. We recommend using a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking during the cooking process.
It is designed for both. While its authentic 19th-century French craftsmanship makes it a stunning decorative accent for a kitchen, its durable construction is fully capable of handling intimate, everyday cooking tasks.
