Mauviel Hammered Copper Jam Pan

Summary

Prized in French kitchens, this classic copper pan helps transform fruits into delicious jams, jellies and preserves. Made of heat-responsive copper in a wide, shallow design, it's also useful for making caramel and other high-sugar foods.

• Wide, shallow bowl and heat-conductive 1.2mm-gauge copper promote rapid boil, which develops fruits' natural pectins.
• Unlined copper interior is safe for use with foods that have a high sugar content, but should not be used for general cooking.
• Riveted brass handles.
• Made in France by Mauviel, a family-owned maker of fine copper cookware since 1830.

Use & Care

Use

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

Care

• Allow pan 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.
