PRIMA MATERA - For cooking and for presentation on table. Copper is an extraordinary conductor of heat, particularly suitable for French cooking and reducing. This material ensures quick and homogeneous cooking in the whole pan: not only in the bottom but also on the side to obtain a perfect heat distribution which makes copper pans ideal for delicate preparations, such as sauces.

The manufacturer does not guarantee the flatness of the floor, if the diameter of the heat source deviates more than 1,5cm in relation to the bottom of the pan. There are no restrictions for the use of iron pans on full surface induction and gas stoves.
 

Outer COPPER - the colour changes on a heat sources. Use a special copper cleaner to give brilliance back to a copper utensil. Never use a metal sponge. The stainless steel inner wall allows for easy care. There is no need for replating as for the traditional tin-plated copper.

Authenticity

Technical features

Copper is an exeptional metal, an extraordinary conductor of heat, particularly suitable for French cooking and reducing. However, copper should not be in direct contact with most foods: as a result it is used in combination with another metal (for the inside of the pans).

Tin-plated copper: The traditional tin-plating process guarantees a thick enough coating of tin for professional use. The lenght of time the pan can be used before being replated is therefor longer. But beware: do not heat to over 260°C.

Utensils 2 mm thick are intended for professional use. Polished outer finish, smooth or hammered effect.

Handles in cast steel, curved, fixed by strong rivets. Copper-stainless steel: this is a bimetal laminate.

The outer sides are made of very thick copper and allow excellent heat conduction. The inner side, made of stainless steel, allow for easy care of the pans and there is no need for replating. Polished outer finish. Mountings in cast steel, stainless steel, or bronze, fixed by strong rivets.
