Know before you buy
Copper is an exceptional conductor of heat, providing rapid and uniform temperature distribution across the entire surface. This makes it ideal for delicate tasks like making jams or slow-cooking carnitas where consistent heat is essential to prevent scorching.
This basin is compatible with gas and electric coil stoves. However, it is not compatible with induction cooktops, as copper is a non-ferrous metal and will not react with the magnetic field.
To maintain the polished aesthetic, use a copper-specific cleaner or a mixture of lemon and salt to remove tarnish. If you prefer a rustic look, you can allow the copper to develop a natural patina over time through regular use.
Yes, copper is an excellent thermal conductor for cooling as well as heating. It will hold a chill effectively, making it a functional and attractive vessel for keeping beverages cold during gatherings.
No, this basin is crafted from a single piece of pure, heavy-gauge copper. It is designed for traditional cooking methods where direct contact with copper is intended, such as sugar work or specific culinary preparations.
The Permian Copper Basin has a total capacity of 11 quarts (10.4 liters). Its dimensions are 15 inches in diameter and 7 inches deep, providing ample space for large-batch cooking or multi-purpose use.
