Use & Care

Use

• Oven safe to 430°F.
• To protect tin lining from damage, do not heat pan empty or at temperatures above 430°F.
• Use wood, plastic or heat-resistant nylon tools to avoid scratching tin lining.

Care

• Allow to cool before washing.
• Hand-wash; dry immediately with soft cloth.
• Avoid using steel wool, steel scouring pads and harsh detergents.
• Copper will develop rich patina over time. This will not affect pan's cooking performance. To keep exterior looking new, use copper polish or combination of lemon and salt.
• Tin lining protects food from reacting with copper but will become discolored over time. This is normal. Depending on frequency of use and type of food cooked, tin lining may eventually have to be replaced. To prolong lining's usefulness, avoid cooking acidic ingredients in tin-lined cookware.
