What should I know before using my NhassFes cookware?

- Never heat the pan empty: Always add water, oil, butter, or another fat before turning on the flame.
- Cook on low or medium heat and adjust the temperature as needed: High temperatures are unnecessary and can damage copper cookware. Do not exceed 430°F (220°C) if the copper is tin-lined.
- Match the cookware size to the burner: Avoid flames extending beyond the diameter of the cookware.
- Avoid scratching the interior of the cookware: Use wooden, plastic, or silicone utensils instead of metal utensils or scouring pads.
- Oven use: All our cookware can be used in the oven. Do not exceed 430°F (220°C) if the copper is tin-lined.
- Always use oven mitts: Handles and tips, especially those made of bronze, can become very hot.
- Do not store leftovers in the cookware: Use the cookware to prepare and serve your meals, then transfer leftovers to an appropriate storage container and clean the pan according to the instructions.

What are the advantages of cooking with copper cookware?

Copper cookware offers excellent thermal conductivity, allowing for even and precise cooking. They are also highly responsive, meaning they can quickly change temperature.

Are copper utensils purely decorative or can they be used daily?

Our copper utensils are designed for daily use. Their superior thermal conductivity makes them perfect for a variety of cooking techniques, in addition to their attractive aesthetic appeal.

Can I use NhassFes cookware on induction cooktops?

Copper is a non-ferrous and non-magnetic metal, so our copper cookware is not suitable for use on induction cooktops. However, for those who wish to use our copper cookware on an induction cooktop, we offer a solution: an induction adapter plate. This plate, also known as an induction adapter disc, is made of ferrous metal and is placed between the copper cookware and the induction cooktop. It creates the necessary magnetic field to heat the cookware.

Here's how to use an induction adapter plate:

  1. Place the induction adapter plate directly on the surface of the induction cooktop.
  2. Set the copper cookware on the induction adapter plate.
  3. Turn on the induction cooktop and adjust the temperature as usual. The adapter plate will heat up and transfer the heat to the copper cookware.

This solution allows you to benefit from the excellent cooking properties of copper cookware while using an induction cooktop.

Can I use NhassFes cookware on electric cooktops?

We recommend using all our NhassFes copper cookware on gas cooktops to fully appreciate their exceptional heat responsiveness, but electric cooktops can also be used. Always remember to pour oil, fat, or liquid into your cookware before turning on the heat, start cooking on low heat, match the burner size to the pot size, and ensure not to overheat.

Maintenance

Is copper cookware difficult to maintain?

Not at all! In fact, it's easier to maintain than stainless steel. Copper is a soft, highly polished metal that releases food easily, whereas stainless steel has a rough surface that tends to hold onto food, making it harder to clean.

How do I clean my NhassFes cooking utensil?

We recommend washing your Ruffoni cookware inside and out by hand with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. By following the instructions and maintaining a low to medium cooking temperature, sticking should not occur. If food sticks to the inside, avoid scrubbing with abrasive pads—instead, soak your NhassFes cooking utensil in warm soapy water to soften and remove food residue. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.

Puis-je laver mon Ustensile de cuisson au lave-vaisselle ?

We recommend not washing your NhassFes cooking utensil in the dishwasher. Powerful detergents can dull copper surfaces, tin coatings, and bronze handles, tarnishing the shiny finish of your pots and pans and potentially causing corrosion along the edges.

Comment puis-je polir mes ustensiles de cuisine en cuivre ?

To keep your copper utensils shining, adopt a simple and natural method: use lemon and salt. Start by sprinkling salt on a half-cut lemon, then gently rub the copper surface. For an extra shine, you can polish with a steel wool pad. Afterward, rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. By regularly maintaining your utensils this way, you preserve their beauty and durability without the need for harsh chemicals. For a demonstration of this simple yet effective method, you can click here to see Houria NhassFes demonstrate this straightforward but effective technique.

Do I need to polish my copper cookware regularly?

It is not necessary to polish your copper utensils regularly, but periodic polishing will help maintain their shiny appearance and prevent oxidation.

What cleaning products should I avoid with my copper utensils?

Avoid abrasive cleaning products, harsh detergents, metal sponges, and cleaners containing bleach, as they can damage the copper surface.

My copper cookware has changed color / become discolored.

All genuine copper cookware, including NhassFes products, naturally tarnish when exposed to air, heat, and humidity — turning pink, silver, yellow, or even iridescent. With continued use, the tarnish develops into a solid dark brown patina, appreciated by collectors and copper enthusiasts for its rich and authentic appearance. However, it's easy to restore these utensils to their original shine by following our cleaning tips. Please refer to the above question for our cleaning advice.

Does copper cookware work on induction cooktops?

You will need an induction disk made of magnetic stainless steel for it to work.

Can copper cookware be used in the oven?

Yes, copper cookware can go in the oven, but for pieces with a tin interior, it’s recommended not to exceed 240°C to maintain the tin’s quality. Tin begins to blister at around 240°C and will need to be retinned if this occurs.

Do the handles stay cool while cooking?

Bronze handles will heat up on the stovetop and in the oven.
