Williams Sonoma Thermo-Clad™ Copper Covered Essential Pan

Summary

We collaborated with the legendary coppersmiths at Ruffoni to create our exclusive Thermo-Clad™ Copper series. Designed to bring the joys of cooking with premium copper to home cooks, the bonded pans combine beautiful mirror-finish copper with the practical maintenance of stainless steel. This essential pan offers maximum heat responsiveness on the stovetop, giving you more control when stir-frying, braising and simmering.

Use & Care

Use

• Ideal for electric and gas cooktops; not induction compatible.
• Oven safe to 450°F. Lids are oven safe to 375°F.

Care

• Allow pans to cool before washing.
• Hand-wash; dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Lids are dishwasher safe.
• To remove stubborn food bits, boil a mixture of water and vinegar in the pan to dissolve food particles.
• 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.
