Keeping with tradition but adding a touch of modernity

All our copperware is crafted using traditional processes passed down through generations of copper makers with a commitment to timeless beauty and functionality.

Copper is the oldest metal used by man. Since 17th century, tin lined copper pan is considered the Queen of Pans thanks to its excellent properties in cooking and aesthetics and it remains the favourite choice of Chefs worldwide.

Superior Heat Conductivity

Copper has remarkable thermal properties. It is the most responsive metal to temperature changes and allows for very even heat distribution. It's twice as conductive as aluminum and an amazing 25 times more conductive than stainless steel. Heat distributes very evenly across the base and sides of pan. So, what does this mean for cooking?

When you heat a copper pan, the warmth spreads quickly and evenly across its surface. No more worrying about hotspots where food might burn. Everything cooks at the same rate. This even distribution ensures dishes like steaks are perfectly seared, pancakes brown uniformly, and sauces simmer without sticking.

Tin is also great conductor itself: it doesn't interfere with the cooking performance of copper cookware, it is naturally low-stick and nickel-free. 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

“Copper pots are the most satisfactory of all to cook in, as they hold and spread the heat well and their tin lining does not discolor food.”– Julia Child, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, 1961

Quick Temperature Response

Copper pans heat up very fast and consequently use much less energy. Copper reacts swiftly with the changes in temperature. When the flame or switch of the stove’s setting is changed, the pan will react in a flash! One of the primary reasons chefs swear by copper pans is this unparalleled cooking precision. Given their fast heat response, dishes are less likely to be over or undercooked. This precision in temperature control is especially crucial in certain recipes, for example caramel that needs a perfect melt, in tempering chocolate or fish that requires a quick sear without overcooking. This is another feature that sets them apart from many other materials out there.

Pastry chefs like Michelle Polzine of 20th Century Cafe and Nicole Krasinski of State Bird Provisions swear copper makes the “shiniest, sexiest jam you can imagine.”

Aesthetic Value

Beyond functionality, there’s an undeniable charm to copper – there is something about it that looks special.  Its warm, dazzling orange-brown hue and shiny finish add a touch of vintage luxury to any kitchen. They transition seamlessly from stovetop to oven to tabletop,  and can be proudly displayed to adorn any style of  kitchen when not in use. Not to mention the fact that they will look even better as they age and patina. Investing in copper isn’t just about great cooking; it’s about enhancing your kitchen’s aesthetic appeal too.

Antimicrobial properties:

Copper’s natural oxidation makes it antimicrobial and  extremely resistant to germs, bacteria and corrosion.

Sustainable:

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!
