Classical Range 25 x 17cm Oval Copper au Gratin Pan with Cast Iron Loop Handles

A practical, durable cooking vessel, our 25 x 17cm au gratin pan provides exceptional versatility. Possessing low flared sides that promote the gently browned crusts of gratin recipes, it also performs well as double handled frying pan. The oval shape accommodates foods such as whole fish, too! The patented Falk bimetal fusion of copper and stainless steel brings you the unequalled heat distribution of copper along with the hygienic properties of stainless steel.  This means more accurate regulation of temperature and intense food flavour.  The two cast iron loop handles add a rustic appeal, which may tempt you to use your gratin pan as an attractive serving vessel. Glowing brushed surfaces, unique to Falk Culinair, make washing up so much easier than typical polished finishes.

Use tips

• Suitable for both electric and gas hobs.
• Oven safe to 280°C/535°F/Gas Mark 8.
• Because of its superior conductivity, copper (and copper core) cookware rarely requires full heat on a hob, typically no more than 50-75% of full power.  Use a lower flame when cooking with gas.
• We recommend seasoning pan interiors with a vegetable oil occasionally prior to frying and sautéing, and always use a small amount of oil when pre-heating.
• Avoid pre-heating an empty saucepan and never allow this to boil dry.
• When seasoning your food remember to heat the water to boiling point first, especially before adding salt.  This disperses the salt quickly and prevents pitting of the stainless steel lining.

Care tips

• Always allow pots and pans to cool before cleaning.
• Do not put Falk cookware in a mechanical dishwasher.
• We do not recommend the use of products containing bleach for cleaning copper cookware.
• Hand washing in warm soapy water is normally all that is required.  Always dry immediately after washing with a soft cloth.
• Copper will develop a rich patina over time.  This will not affect cooking performance.
• To keep copper pans looking like new, use a suitable polish for copper and a fine abrasive pad.
• Apply a light coat of vegetable oil to cast iron handles from time to time to prevent rusting.
• For further information please see this article on maintaining and cleaning copper cookware.
