Mauviel Copper Soup Station
Homemade soups and stews are even more appealing when they’re prepared and served in this French stockpot made of heavy-gauge copper, an excellent heat conductor. The pot’s tall, narrow shape encourages flavors to deepen and meld during cooking, while the tin-lined interior prevents the copper from reacting with ingredients. When the filled pan is lifted, riveted brass handles offer a secure grip; the lid discourages evaporation. This elegant cookware is made in France by Mauviel, a family-owned company famous for fine copper cookware since 1830. 7 1/2-qt. cap.; 8" diam., 10" high.
- Hand wash in warm, soapy water. Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Never use abrasive cleaning products or scouring pads.
- Use wood, plastic or heat-resistant nylon tools to avoid scratching the tin lining.
- To protect the tin lining from damage, do not heat the pot empty or at temperatures above 450°F.
- 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.
- The tin lining protects foods from reacting with copper, but will become discolored with use. This is normal. Depending on the frequency of use and types of food cooked, the tin lining may eventually have to be replaced. To prolong the liner's usefulness, avoid cooking acidic ingredients in your tin-lined cookware.
