Copper Cookware Pots and Sets


Dream as if you have forever. Live as if you only have today. Bearing this saying in mind, I finally decided to ditch the old for something sparkling new.

Hell no, I am not talking about my partner. I could not live without her for one single minute. She is my personal reason for being infinitely content with life itself.

And no, neither am I referring to some cheap, unclassy & seriously overrated x-rated stuff. Believe me or not, the real deal surpasses the fakeness time after time.

I am actually - and there goes my rock 'n' roll credibility, see my other articles - referring to, euh, cookware. Sounds mindblowingly boring, I know, but give it a minute. I will try to explain.

These modern days, coloured by all its optimised innovations, the kitchen in general and the cookware we use in specific, almost has to be practical. If not, they won't make any chance of surviving the manic fashion dance. Not a single doubt about that. And thanks to the immersing globalisation there is a vast ocean of choices available to cater for all the varying tastes and preferences alike.

But there is also another side to 'la cuisine quotidienne', the 21st century kitchen: its aesthetical value. And that is exactly where the copper cookware pops up. Whether you are a fan or not, a (semi)-professional chef or an enthusiastic amateur cook: copper pots and pans do look sexy. Am I serious here? Yes. Am I exaggerating? I seriously don't think so.

Ever wondered why so many people insist on having their copperware presented in the kitchen as prominent as possible? Ask any qualified interieur designer: because it does look the business. Displayed copper cookware sets feed the eye. Authentic, hand-finished copperware has an aesthetic all its own and impossible to replicate from cold stainless steel.

Copper cookware potsYou don't believe me? Fair enough. But next time you are browsing a glossy magazine or watching an episode of your favourite high society soap, have a little peep at the details. If the kitchen is featured, chances are huge you'll see walls with neatly placed & hung copper saucepans, pots, skillets, frying pans, etc. As if there was no tomorrow.

So, for all the well-documented talk of heat conduction and longevity - the obvious benefits related to copperware - I gladly raise a glass of the finest Bordeaux (a Petrus 2000 will certainly do) to the simple beauty of the handbeaten copper pan with its riveted cast-iron handle. Because I just decided to buy a brand new set of French copper cookware. And there's even more to celebrate: we now have the choice of creating our own preferred set, so both my partner and I can pick & choose our own little favourites. Life is far too short not to enjoy it where & whenever possible, isn't it?

If you like, try this unique option yourself: choose the copper pans & pots YOU like and create your own personalized set. Surely, there's hardly a better way to discover everything you want to know about authentic, local French copperware.

So next time when you relish a romantic rendez-vous in your kitchen, remember you read about it here first. This luxury of being able to pick & choose your copper cookware set & therefore to make your own preferred choice is truly a unique + absolute worldwide first for authentic French copperware. Dream as if you have forever. Live as if you only have today, indeed.

Caring for cookware


Aluminium

Easy to keep clean with a little regular dish soap or washing up liquid


Copper

To keep the shine don't put in a dishwasher but use a copper cleaner regularly


Cast iron

Seasoning a cast iron pan is a natural way of creating non stick cookware

Clean the cookware whilst it is still hot by rinsing with hot water

Do not use a scouring pad as this will break down the pan's seasoning

Do not cover pots and pans as any moisture may lead to rust developing
