Handcrafted, hand-hammered copper pot. 100% copper, except for the brass handles.

Since copper is an excellent thermal conductor, there are no hotter spots than others, which helps prevent certain parts of some foods from sticking or burning easily, thus achieving more uniform cooking.

Cooking pot for artisanal cooking, ideal for boiling octopus as well as certain vegetables, as it helps vegetables retain their green color and prevents them from darkening when cooked.

Ideal for making sweets: candies, whipped egg whites, meringues, jams, dulce de leche, nougats... as copper prevents sugar crystallization, making it an ally for dessert making.

Three sizes:

  • 8 Liters (7.5 liters) Measurements: 27cm diameter and 18cm pot height / 2.5kg
  • 12 Liters (11.5 liters) Measurements: 30cm diameter and 20cm pot height / 2.9kg

    NOTES:

    • Ideal for baking.
    • Best on gas stoves, can also be used on ceramic hobs, but not induction, as it does not contain ferrous material.
    • With copper, it is important not only to clean but also to dry it; it is even advised to give it a quick blast of heat after drying thoroughly.
