Made in France since 1814, Matfer Bourgeat's Copper Cookware has been the premium choice of generations of professional French chefs. This Matfer Bourgeat Copper Stock Pot traditional jam pan is made of solid high-quality copper. Copper's exceptional heat distribution and conductivity offer you precise control over cooking times and temperatures. This cookware is designed with a rolled, reinforced edge and two brass handle to ensure easy use and balance when lifting and pouring. This pan is just as versatile as it is heavy-duty, as it's 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.
