Technical features

Copper is an exeptional metal, an extraordinary conductor of heat, particularly suitable for French cooking and reducing. However, copper should not be in direct contact with most foods: as a result it is used in combination with another metal (for the inside of the pans).

Tin-plated copper: The traditional tin-plating process guarantees a thick enough coating of tin for professional use. The lenght of time the pan can be used before being replated is therefor longer. But beware: do not heat to over 260°C.

Utensils 2 mm thick are intended for professional use. Polished outer finish, smooth or hammered effect.

Handles in cast steel, curved, fixed by strong rivets. Copper-stainless steel: this is a bimetal laminate.

The outer sides are made of very thick copper and allow excellent heat conduction. The inner side, made of stainless steel, allow for easy care of the pans and there is no need for replating. Polished outer finish. Mountings in cast steel, stainless steel, or bronze, fixed by strong rivets.
