Maximum Temperature and Oven Use

Copper Cookware

Copper cookware is known for its excellent thermal conductivity, allowing for precise temperature control. However, it's essential to be aware of the following:

• Max Temperature: Generally, copper cookware can handle temperatures up to 450°F safely. Beyond this, the risk of warping and damaging the cookware increases.
• Oven Use: Copper cookware is oven-safe, but ensure that it is used within the recommended temperature range to avoid any degradation.

Material Limits and Risks

1. Heat Conductivity:
   • Copper heats up quickly and evenly, which is great for cooking but can lead to overheating if not monitored.
2. Corrosion and Reaction:
   • Copper can react with acidic foods, which may lead to a metallic taste. It’s often lined with stainless steel or tin to prevent this.
3. Warping:
   • Exceeding the maximum temperature can cause warping or discoloration. This could affect the performance and aesthetics of your cookware.
4. Care and Maintenance:
   • Regular polishing is required to maintain its appearance and prevent tarnishing.

Tips for Safe Use

1. Monitor Temperatures:
   • Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is within the desired temperature range.
2. Avoid Temperature Shock:
   • Do not place cold copper cookware directly into a hot oven. Gradually heat the cookware to prevent warping.
3. Use Appropriate Utensils:
   • Opt for wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the surface, especially if lined with a softer metal.
4. Cleaning:
   • Clean copper cookware with a gentle cleanser and avoid abrasive materials to maintain its shine and performance.
5. Storage:
   • Store copper cookware in a dry place to prevent moisture accumulation, which can lead to tarnishing.

Conclusion

With proper care and attention to temperature limits, your new All-Clad copper cookware can provide excellent cooking results while ensuring safety and longevity.
