Hammered copper pots with iron handles, 28 cm, are machine-made by casting in smooth or hammered copper, featuring brass handles or iron bows, catering to every taste. These copper braising pots are intended for cooking, typically for dishes like octopus or jam, but can also be used for many other recipes or even for brewing beer. They are made entirely of copper (inside and out), except for the handles (brass) or the bow (iron). The copper braising pots are not tinned on the inside, which is why food should be removed after cooking to prevent the copper from oxidizing and to avoid the food absorbing any toxins. In southern Portugal and Spanish cuisine, it is traditional to cook octopus in a copper pot to give it a distinctive flavor. All copper braising pots have a flat bottom and can be used on ceramic cooktops, gas, or wood stoves. They should never be used on induction cooktops. Capacity: 12 l.
