Copper Cookware Sets. 

People have been using copper to make pots and pans for centuries. Initially copper was use because it is soft and easy to mold. As time passed other metals were used in the construction of pots and pans but non had the ability to transfer heat that copper had. The result of this characteristic is an even heat with no hot spots in your pot. Traditionally copper cookware was lined with tin. Many top chefs still prefer this because tin is the perfect non stick lining and it compliments coppers' characteristic to evenly transfer heat. Today most copper cookware is lined with stainless steel. Stainless steel is more durable than tin but does not transfer heat as evenly as tin and doesn,t have tins' non stick quality.

An important part of caring for copper cookware is how it is stored. Storing cookware in drawers stacked on top of each other can cause damage to the inner lining.
