Made in France since 1814, Matfer Bourgeat Copper Cookware is the premium choice of a generation of professional French chefs. This 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 sauce 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 the pan as easy as possible. 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.
