Made in France since 1814, Matfer Bourgeat Copper Cookware has been the premium choice of generations of professional French chefs. Matfer's Copper Cookware combines the optimum heat conductivity of copper with the easy cleaning properties of a stainless steel interior, and requires no tin plating or special maintenance. This fry pan's durable riveted cast iron handle and grip ensures reliable cool touch support and balance when lifting and pouring, while it's tapered rim makes pouring drip free, making transferring sauce from pan as easy as possible. This pan is just as versatile as it is heavy-duty, as its compatible with all hobs and stove types, except induction. To clean, simply hand wash with a mild detergent and warm water. Please note that the copper material will develop a rich patina over time, but this will not affect the quality of the pan or its cooking performance. To keep it looking new and shiny, try using Matfer's Bistro Copper Cleaning Paste, sold separately.
