Use & Care

Use

Ideal for gas and electric cooktops.
To protect the tin lining from damage, do not heat the pot empty or at temperatures above 450ºF.
Use wood, plastic or heat-resistant nylon tools to avoid scratching the tin lining.

Care

Allow pot to cool before washing.
Hand-wash; dry immediately with a 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 a copper polish or a combination of lemon and salt.
The tin lining protects foods from reacting with copper but will become discolored over time. 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 lining's usefulness, avoid cooking acidic ingredients in your tin-lined cookware.
