Copper pots for the catering trade

Copper not only stands out for its noble, unmistakable appearance, it is also the material with the highest thermal conductivity among cookware. It also stands for balanced heat distribution and precise preparation through optimum control of the heat supply. These properties, which promote time- and energy-saving as well as nutrient-preserving and precise preparation, are highly valued in professional kitchens around the world. Due to the reduced risk of burning, copper is also used to melt sugar and couverture or to prepare sauces. Copper is robust and rustproof, but reacts with aggressive or acidic food components, which is why copper pots often have a thin protective layer of stainless steel inside. With the right care and treatment, you can expect an almost unlimited service life from high-quality copper crockery. Copper pots should not be washed in a dishwasher; there is too great a risk that the material will react to cleaning agents and tarnish. We recommend cleaning by hand with a special copper cleaning agent. Copper has its price. That is why you will find many material combinations in cooking pots, which are usually not only cheaper, but also integrate the positive properties of other materials.
