high  quality

copper pan setS

This HIGH QUALITY Copperware with a TIN lining is manufactured by

“BAUMALU”

(located in the Alsace - FRANCE)

Copper pans have been used in the kitchen for centuries as copper conducts the heat better than any other metal :

copper pans heat up more quickly and evenly (top + bottom) – which results in shorter cooking times and tastier food.

Copper is slightly acidic and reacts with certain foods and is therefore lined with another metal – traditionally TIN.

Today copper pans are often lined with stainless steel, which is more durable, but unfortunately a poor heat conductor.

We choose to sell the traditional TIN lined copperware just for that 1 reason:

tin gives a better heat conduction than stainless steel.

The BAUMALU cookware is still TINNED BY HAND according to traditional techniques !

(brush marks and/or small irregularities are still visible)

We sell the BAUMALU  “professional”  2 mm thick – hammered range with cast iron handles

2 MM THICK

faster heat conduction and much stronger than the 1 mm

HAMMERED  COPPER

beaten with a hammer so that it leaves small dents all over the surface.

The “hammering” is done by hand which is time and labour consuming – but results in a high quality product:

the tiny dents reinforce the copper

air and heat can circulate better

daily wear and tear (scratches) less visible

CAST  IRON  HANDLES

don’t heat up as quickly as the copper – so they stay cooler for longer

hand made : handles can differ in shape and length – which give the pans more “authenticity”

hand riveted to the pan with 2 or 3 rivets

PLEASE NOTE :

The Baumalu copperware has a protective lacquer which needs to be removed before first use.

With each purchase we supply instructions on how to remove the lacquer + how to care for your copper pans.

These copper pans are NOT suitable for induction hobs

Several stages in the manufacturing process are still done manually

according to the old traditions  (tinning – riveting – hammering)

and therefore irregularities can occur on the tinned /copper surface , the bottom or the lids

PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN PURCHASING THESE COPPER PANS !
