How to Properly Restore Copper Pans | Made In Cookware

Serious Mealtimes / Vicky Wasik

With copper being so expensive the last thing you want to do is invest in expensive copper cookware only to have it neglected. Taking good care of it is relatively easy as long as you know a few key things. Here I’ll go over some important details about cooking with copper as well as tips on how to clean it and when to take it to a professional for repairs.

The important thing to keep in mind is that apart from jam jars and a few other special pieces of equipment all copper cookware is lined with another type of metal. This is because copper is reactive and toxic in large quantities. An inert metal lining prevents food from touching the copper. You will need to treat your pans differently depending on the type of lining your copper pots and pans have.
