Roasted vegetables or beef fillets can be beautifully presented in this elegant 17.5-in. Oval Pan. This handled casserole-type pan is crafted from copper and has a stainless steel interior that won't interact with foods and makes for easy cleaning. Copper is a terrific choice for cookware because it is twice more conductive than aluminum and ten times more conductive than stainless steel. No wonder copper is the most preferred material of cookware by popular chefs and avid home cooks; its ability to heat up evenly and rapidly and to cool down just as quick allows for maximum control and excellent cooking results. Please handwash with mild dish soap. Made in France. The Cuprinox Pour la Table line is designed for both attractive serving and efficient cooking. The copper construction is especially ideal for high-heat recipes such as sautes or stir-fries. Bronze handles are fixed by sturdy stainless steel rivets and they are easy to clean with no retinning required. Pots, pans and items from the Cuprinox Pour La Table line can be used for any heating element except on an induction hob.
