Since this type of pan is made of ultra tough copper, it will last for a very long time because of the copper infused durability. Also, red copper pans are PFOA and PTFE free, which means that the pans are not made using harmful toxins and chemicals. Thus, they are safe to use.
Copper Chef Cookware – What Are They?
Copper chef cookware is made of copper, which actually provides extra durability. That being said, investing in this type of cookware can actually help you save money in the long run because you do not need to change the pan every now and then as these pans are made to last.
Copper is one of the best conductors of heat and it will heat quickly and evenly. Also, the other materials of the cookware are non-toxic and approved for usage.
The outer coating of the pan is infused with 100% real copper. With the pan’s non-stick surface, food will not stick even when you are not using any fat or oil while cooking. This makes cleaning the pan simple and easy. Also, the Copper Chef pans are dishwasher safe.
Why Choose Copper Cookware?
As mentioned, copper is one of the most effective metals for cooking because it is a good conductor of heat.
With copper, the temperature will spread evenly on all sides of the cookware. That being said, even and quick heating will ensure that the food you are cooking will not have burnt spots.
Also, a copper cookware is considered a green pan. The pan’s ideal heat conduction along with its optimal heat accumulation will allow you to save lots of energy and this should make a significant difference in your energy bills.
This type of cookware is also a good investment, as they are made to last longer than your regular cookware. This would mean that you do not have to change your pans often, which saves you money in the long run.
Copper pans are also associated with sumptuous meals. This would mean that your cooking skills will greatly be improved allowing you to create tasty meals for the entire family.
Lastly, copper stands for class, perfection and timeless style, which would definitely fit any kitchen interior. Yes, even copper offers an aesthetic value.
Characteristics of the Best Copper Cookware
Yes, even the top copper cookware has distinct characteristics that make them the best in the industry. Here are some of them.
Thickness
For most types of cookware, the thicker the material the cookware is made from, the better choice it is. When looking for copper cookware, you should not assume that all copper pots and pans are created equal and that they have the same thickness. It would always be best to check the exact weight of the pan and ask about how thick the copper is.
Appearance – Smooth versus Hammered Surfaces
Copper cookware is available in both smooth and hammered finish. The smooth finish is a more common option throughout the most decent quality cookware brands.
On the other hand, the hammered finish is not indicative of the quality of the pan, as there are top copper pan manufacturers that offer this type of finish.
Bare, Tin, and Stainless Steel Lining
Copper cookware is available in three distinct material configurations including tinned, bare, and stainless steel lined. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages.
For instance, bare copper is the most inexpensive but the least desirable, as it is often uncoated. Tin lined, on the other hand, does not interfere with copper’s capacity to conduct heat. In fact, it is naturally nonstick and great for cooking high acid foods.
Lastly, stainless steel lined copper cookware is considered the better alternative to home cooking. In fact, stainless steel does not tarnish, rust, and discolor. Also, it does not easily scratch or oxidizes.
Red Copper vs Copper Chef
The top manufacturers of copper cookware in the market are Red Copper and Copper Chef. Before you can choose the best copper pans for your needs, it is important to know how these copper cookware brands make their copper pots and pan.
Red Copper creates copper-infused pots and pans with the nonstick ceramic cooking surface, which actually lets you cook healthier meals for your family. In fact, you do not need to use oil, butter, or grease in cooking and worry about food sticking to your pots and pans. Also, Red Copper cookware can be used on all types of stove tops and even in ovens.
Copper Chef Cookware, on the other hand, offers pans designed with copper infused coating and Cerami-Tech technology, which can actually resist heat up to 800 degrees. The Cerami-Tech non-stick technology is PTFE and PFOA-free which means that food will not stick on the surface of the pan. Also, the coating allows oil-free cooking and easy cleaning.
Here is a table showing a distinct comparison between the two top copper pan brands in the market.
