Features of the Bourgeat 13 Piece Copper Cookware Set Review:
The following are the most features and specifications of Bourgeat 13 Piece Copper Cookware Set.
Pure red copper cookware
This cookware is made from extremely thick red pure cooper, it is 2mm in thickness. This is then sandwiched in between layers of 18/10 stainless steel that is highlypolished. The insides of the pots and pans are as highly polished as the copper exterior. Copper is a fantastic conductor of heat which means that food is thoroughly cooked with no hidden hotspots. Allowing for professional grade cooking, there is also the added benefit of easy cleaning and maintenance, as copper will not warp or easily tarnish.
Highly polished stainless steel
The interior of these pots and pans are made from highly polished stainless steel. This ensures that the cooking surface is incredibly smooth and safe for cooking. Stainless steel will not interfere with the taste of food or be easily stained. One huge benefit of polished stainless steel interiors is that they are pretty much nonstick, although not advertised as such. You use much less oil when cooking so it is a healthier way of cooking and food ultimately cooks much quicker. It will also not burn and is the perfect environment for searing meat. Having stainless steel interiors also means that they will not need to be re tinned later on in life.
Cast iron handles
When considering the many features of a pot or pan one important feature that must not be overlooked is the handle. This cookware set has handles that are incredibly sturdy and well made. Comprised of cast iron they are smooth to the touch, long and easy to hold. As they are made of cast iron they also stay relatively cool when sat on a hot hob. All of the handles are enforced onto the side of the cookware with heavy duty rivets. What these handles also do is to counterbalance and steady the weight of the pan, ensuring that it stands sturdily and will not easily be tipped over.
