Frying Pan

The sides are usually only 1-2 inches high, as the purpose of the pan is to fry food, not simmer it.

You can put a copper pan in the oven if you’re making a dessert like a tarte Tatin, but remember that copper can’t take the high heat of cast iron or stainless, so most manufacturers don’t recommend temperatures above 450 °F.

In our tests, we put copper skillets through the same heating evenness and sauté performance tests as stainless steel pans, which are also uncoated. We also cook foods that require controlled heat, including risotto, a gooey banana tarte Tatin, and melted white chocolate. All the copper pans perform well, Fisher says.

Here are two recommended copper pans from CR’s tests.

 In addition to their beauty, enamel pots are also known for their durability.  The enamel coating not only prevents stains and scratches, it also helps distribute heat evenly for thorough, consistent cooking.  This makes enamel pots a reliable and long-lasting addition to your kitchen cookware collection.
