Before first use
Remove any labels from the product and wash in warm soapy water before use. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
Cooking
As copper conducts heat more efficiently than other metals, you are able to use lower heat settings, it is important to ensure a progressive temperature increase. Do not overheat the pan when empty and never allow the pan to boil dry. Never plunge a hot pan into cold water as extremes of temperature can cause distortion. To avoid pitting or marking of the stainless steel interior we would recommend that salt is added to simmering or boiling water and stirred until dissolved.
The handles are designed to stay cool during use, although they can get hot under certain conditions. Always select the appropriate hob ring to match the pans base size so that the heat touches only the bottom of the pan and handles are not in direct contact with heat or flames. Use a dry oven glove or cloth when handling a hot pan or lid during and after cooking and when removing a pan that has been in the oven for any amount of time. On any glass-topped hobs, always lift the pan when moving and never slide the pan across the surface, as this may cause damage to the base of the pan and the hob.
Do not use pans to store raw, marinated or cooked foods.
Cleaning
Clean by hand using a sponge and washing up liquid, fill the pan with warm soapy water and leave to soak if necessary. Never use wire wool or any other metal-based scrubbers. Never use a dishwasher, as the detergents used will tarnish and corrode the copper. Use a polish intended for copper on the outside if desired. Dry thoroughly once clean.
Maintaining your pans appearance
The appearance of copper pans will change even without use, exposure to heat, air and humidity will cause discolouration. This process is called oxidation and happens when the copper combines with the oxygen in the air and involves the transfer of electrons.
This can cause the colour of the copper to change and can give rise to areas of discolouration. Copper may turn a deeper orange, a pinkish shade, or even develop purple or blue streaks. This will over time develop into a lovely patina. However, if the discolouration is undesirable, it is only the surface and can be removed with any polish suitable for copper.
There are 3 approaches to maintain your copper cookware;
1. Frequent polishing to maintain a bright, shiny finish.
2. Occasional polishing for a slightly warmer colour.
3. Never polish and allow the copper to tarnish and develop a stunning patina, this is the preferred option of professional chefs.
