Know before you buy
While copper is an exceptional heat conductor, it is a reactive metal that can alter the flavor of acidic ingredients. The stainless steel lining provides a non-reactive, durable surface that is safe for all types of cooking while still benefiting from the superior thermal performance of the copper exterior.
This dish is designed for oven-to-table use, but it is also compatible with gas and electric stovetops. Please note that it is not induction-compatible unless you use an induction interface disk.
To maintain the polished finish, hand wash the dish with warm, soapy water and dry it immediately to prevent water spots. If the copper begins to tarnish or lose its luster over time, a dedicated copper polish can be used to restore its original shine.
No, the bronze handles will become very hot during the cooking process. Always use oven mitts or heavy-duty pot holders when removing the dish from the oven or moving it to the table.
The 12-inch dish is ideal for side dishes or gratins for 2 to 3 people. If you are preparing main courses or serving a larger group of 4 to 6, the 14-inch size offers the necessary capacity and surface area for better browning.
