Use & Care

Use

• Ideal for gas and electric cooktops; not compatible with induction cooktops.
• 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 pot to cool before washing.
• Hand-wash.
• Dry immediately with 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 copper polish or a combination of lemon and salt.
• Tin lining protects food from reacting with copper but will become discolored with use. Depending on frequency of use and types of food cooked, tin lining may eventually need to be replaced. To prolong life of liner, avoid cooking acidic ingredients in tin-lined cookware.
