Know before you buy
The 90% copper exterior provides superior thermal conductivity, allowing for rapid and precise temperature control. The 10% stainless steel interior ensures that your food does not react with the copper, making it safe for all types of ingredients while remaining easy to clean.
No, this stewpan is not induction-compatible because copper is non-magnetic. It is designed for use on gas, electric, and radiant stovetops.
To keep the exterior looking its best, use a dedicated copper polish periodically to remove oxidation and restore its shine. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers, which can scratch the polished surface.
While the brass handle is durable and securely riveted, it can become hot during extended cooking times. We recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the pan on the stovetop.
This compact size is specifically designed for preparing and serving individual portions of sauces, reductions, or small side dishes. Its elegant design makes it particularly well-suited for transitioning directly from the stove to the table for service.
