Know before you buy
While it is traditionally used as a Carnitas Cazo for cooking, it is equally effective as a high-end beverage tub or serving vessel. Because it is crafted from heavy-gauge, food-safe copper, it handles both heat and ice-filled displays with ease.
This basin is not dishwasher safe. To maintain its appearance, hand wash with mild soap and water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. If you prefer to keep the polished look, you can use a copper cleaner periodically, though many owners prefer to let it develop a natural patina over time.
No, this basin is made from pure, heavy-gauge copper without any lacquers or synthetic coatings. This allows you to benefit from copper's natural antimicrobial properties, though it also means the metal will react to its environment and develop a unique patina as it ages.
Yes, because copper is a highly conductive metal, the exterior will become cold and likely develop condensation when filled with ice. We recommend placing it on a tray or a surface that can handle moisture if you are using it as a beverage chiller.
Yes, the basin is meticulously crafted from a single piece of heavy-gauge copper. This seamless construction not only enhances its structural integrity and durability but also ensures there are no crevices where food particles or debris can collect.
