Copper cookware isn’t just beautiful—nor is it a trend. Copper is the oldest metal used by man. Since 17th century, tin lined copper pan is considered the Queen of Pans thanks to its beauty but also to its excellent heat conductivity which allows the ideal temperature to be reached rapidly and evenly. This makes the copper cookware a precision tool. When placed on a flame, it will spread heat quickly and consistently across the bottom and up the sides whilst, when removed from the heat source, the temperature will drop quickly, avoiding overcooking. Flavors and nutritional values remain unchanged, and the food doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan, avoiding hot spots and burning. Copper pans have since been used in the kitchens of the world's finest restaurants and today are still found on the stoves of discerning cooks around the world.

Most of our copperware is lined by hand in the age-old traditional way using hot molten tin. This creates a far superior bond with the copper than modern-day electro-tin plating techniques which can flake and expose the water to copper. Unlike non-stick cookware that raises concerns about the presence of harmful PFOAs on its pan coating (perfluorooctanoic acid), the natural and pure tin lined in Qopper Stories’ copperware is not harmful to your health after long-term use. Tin is a great conductor itself: it doesn't interfere with the cooking performance of copper cookware. Tin’s smooth crystalline structure makes it naturally low-stick: a small amount of oil or butter, combined with the right cooking temperature, is enough to release cooked foods from tin effortlessly. When applied by hand over an open flame – as our master craftsmen do – tin bonds to the copper, ensuring your cookware a very long life when properly cared for.

We use only the purest and finest quality copper and our master artisans handcraft each vessel using the same traditional hand-spinning techniques that were first used over 100 years ago. This gives each product a unique character and a story – a testament to the artisans who shape copper into exquisite pieces. Since it is produced by hand for the entire process, small differences and irregularities can be seen and any visible streak is not to be considered as a defect but the proof of the hand crafting the entire work.

Being 100% recyclable, copper is the most sustainable option in the kitchen. It is estimated that 80% of all the copper ever extracted is still in use in some form today!

When you invest in our handmade copperware, they will last you for a lifetime. Instead of having to constantly throw out and replace inferior cookware, you can pass down our Qopper Stories copper cookware, barware or home object to the next generation as an heirloom.

On top of these, copper’s natural oxidation makes it extremely resistant to bacteria and corrosion in a natural way - and results in the rich patina that many copper connoisseurs love and cherish.
