Copper pans have a story to tell, and so do we!

SHOP STORY:

Our passion is cooking on copper! We provide professionals and enthusiasts with functional and beautiful copper pans and tools, many with historical significance.
We focus on two types of copper cooking tools: HISTORIC and PROFESSIONAL:

HISTORIC copper pieces are made by well-known craftsmen and each have a story to tell. The pan you are purchasing may have been handled by a famous chef or used in a well-known restaurant, hotel or train kitchen. These exceptional pieces are a connection to the past. They are often stamped or engraved with the initials of chefs or names or restaurants.

PROFESSIONAL copper pieces shine in a restaurant or hotel kitchen. They are at least 2.5mm in thickness and are often 3mm or more.

OUR PROCESS:
We find pans from great manufacturers all over the world. We look for pans that are thick and heavy, are made by a true craftsman and have great aesthetic quality. Big copper hand-set rivets, well done repairs (we actually LOVE repairs), finely detailed dovetails and stamps or engravings by owners and makers all help to make a pan great. We focus on quality, function and the history of a pan. Come shop our selection of amazing pans and join the story!

Some of the makers and distributors we look for and sell include: Elkington, Dehillerin, Mauviel, Gaillard Legry, Duval, DH&M, Duparquet, Dougherty, Benham and Sons, Williams Sonoma, Barth, Lamalle, Cordon Bleu, Lewis & Conger, BD&Co, A&N, Jacquotot, La Ménagère, Jones Bros, Mores & Lucca, The Design Store, Gerorge Sparrow, George Ott, Olac, Brix, Regniaud, Temple & Crook, and so many more. In addition, we are attracted to pans from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other American cities.

Our pans preserve the living history of great chefs, restaurants and makers from around the world. Buying a pan from us also helps contribute to the environment. Re-use is a great way to honor the past and to respect the future.
