Care and cleaning

Before using the cookware for the first time, wash, rinse, and dry carefully.
The cookware must be washed by hand. Use washing-up liquid and a soft brush/sponge.
Never use chlorine or other harsh chemicals that may damage the copper.
Wipe the cookware with a towel immediately after washing the dishes to retain the shine of the copper. Never let the cookware pieces dry on their own, this is to avoid water spots and the copper becoming discolored.
Over time, copper darkens and becomes tarnished due to the material being in contact with water and oxygen.
This is a chemical reaction that produces a natural patina for the copper material and does not mean that the copper has worn out or that something is wrong. If you like, it is possible to get rid of the patina.
The best way to get rid of the patina is to first clean the copper surface and then polish it, please follow the steps below.

To clean the copper surface, start by mixing salt and white vinegar and stir until the salt is properly dissolved.
- Then moisten a soft scrub sponge in the solution and scrub the surface so that stains disappear. You may use a sponge with abrasives to clean the surface.
To polish the surface, use a special polishing agent for copper and follow its instructions.

To prevent scratches from occurring when polishing, ensure to only polish with a dishcloth or sponge without abrasives on the surface.
Do not use steel wool since it may damage the copper surface.
When used in an oven or on a gas hob, the cookware can become discolored. To regain the copper color, clean and polish the surface according to the steps above.
The base is slightly concave when cold, but expands to flatten out when heated. Always leave cookware to cool before cleaning it.
This allows the base to resume its shape and helps to prevent it from becoming uneven with use.
To prevent salt stains on the inside of your cookware, do not add salt to your food until the contents are boiling.

Good to know

This cookware is suitable for use on all types of hobs, including induction hobs.
By placing the cookware on a hob with the same or smaller diameter as the pot/pan you can save energy.
Always lift the cookware when moving it on a glass ceramic hob to avoid the risk of scratching the hob.
Bear in mind that the cookware gets hot during use. Always handle with pot holders.
