Copper Bottom Cookware - Why use Copper Bottom Cookware?While copper bottom cookware will not perform like copper cookware, you can derive a portion of the benefits at a fraction of the price. Copper is the most heat conductive material used in cookware construction. The faster a metal conducts heat, the more evenly the heat is distributed throughout the pan's bottom. This eliminates hot-spots which can cause uneven cooking, scorching, and sticking to the pan. Copper also cools down faster than any other cookware material. So when the heat is removed from the pan it immediately begins to cool rather than retain heat. Control over the temperature is extremely important when cooking delicate foods such as cream or butter sauces.
Tips on Shopping for Copper Bottom Cookware
Look for trusted brands that you know. Manufactures do not provide the details on thickness of the copper layer.
Look for cookware from manufacturers that provide a generous warranty. Better quality cookware comes with longer warranty periods.
