There’s no denying that copper pots and pans look stunning when displayed in the kitchen, but these shiny pieces also cost a pretty penny. To protect your investment and keep copper cookware looking as good as the day you bought it, it’s incredibly important to care for it properly.
Unlike stainless steel or cast iron, copper is fairly delicate and reactive to other substances, so you can’t just scrub away with steel wool. Plus, we all know what happens when you leave copper wet…great if you love the patina look, but not ideal if you want to preserve the red-orange color and bright luster.
