Use & Care

Use

• Ideal for gas and electric cooktops.
• Because the copper pot is unlined and highly reactive to ingredients, it should be used only for cooking with sugar – never for general cooking.

Care

• Allow pot to cool before washing.
• Hand-wash; dry immediately with a soft cloth.
• Avoid using steel wool, steel scouring pads or harsh detergents.
• Copper will develop a rich patina over time. This will not affect the pan's cooking performance. To keep the exterior looking new, use a copper polish or a combination of lemon and salt.
