Copper Pots

Copper can conduct heat well. It is valued by chefs for its heat distribution as well. Copper has some draw backs though. Proper care is critical to keep its luster.

Most copper is lined with stainless steel because untreated copper can react to acidic foods and cause leaching which can result in sickness. Combining copper with another metal also helps to reduce the cost as well.

Copper can dent and tarnish easily. To prevent tarnishing constant care must be given. It must be cleaned right away will periodically need to be polished to remove tarnish. Copper pots are best stored on a hanging pot rack, as stacking in cupboards can lead to dents and dings.
