    Ideas for use

    Getting the most out of your Ruffoni Fry Pan

    A good fry pan allows you to sauté vegetables, sear meats and shallow-fry almost any kind of ingredient. Constructed of solid copper or highly conductive clad stainless steel, Ruffoni fry pans are also well suited to cook delicate foods.

    Our fry pan is a practical and versatile kitchen ally that you will find yourself using at different times of the day for the most different recipes. Let the children wake up to the smell of freshly made pancakes for a sweet Sunday treat, and fry some eggs for the grown-ups. Come lunch time, use to sauté all kind of veggies, then sear and pan fry chicken breast or cod fillets and fries for a quick and delicious dinner.

    For even more flexibility, pick a fry pan with lid: wilt spinach and other leafy greens in their own water, then finish open, with a splash of cream and freshly cracked black pepper. Gently roast peppers, onions, tomatoes and spices for a deliciously caramelized shakshuka, then crack in some eggs and cover with the lid to firm up the whites.

    Our serving shape, with two side handles, is especially designed to sit at the center of a crowded table and serve piping-hot food in style. Or pick a frying pan with the traditional long stick handle and hang it on display, so it adorns your kitchen and is always within reach.

    Use tip: remember that copper cookware never needs to be pre-heated, and always use a bit of oil or butter to prevent sticking.

    USE AND CARE FOR THE OPUS CUPRA COLLECTION

    Taking care of your Ruffoni the right way

    Cooking

    Recommended for use on gas stovetops, open flames (wood, charcoal, barbecue) and in the oven - electric cooktops also possible. Use a burner that is similar in diameter to the cookware, never heat the pot empty and do not exceed 230 C (450 F). To avoid scratching or dulling the polished surface, do not use knives, sharp kitchen tools, corrosive detergents and metal scouring pads.

    Washing and Polishing

    Hand-wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent, and dry immediately with a soft cloth.With use, copper develops a rich patina over time that many love and cherish. To restore a polished shine, use a good copper polish (like Ruffoni Cleaner) or salt with lemon juice/vinegar.

    Silver care

    The silver-plated finial will naturally tarnish over time: use a silver-polishing cloth to restore its shine, or to polish more thoroughly remove from the lid by twisting the special screw - rotate the screw, not the finial, to prevent damage to the lid. Always hand-wash as dishwasher use would accelerate the silver tarnishing.

    FAQs

    I don’t want to cook on non-stick cookware, where can I fry eggs?

    You can fry eggs without non-stick cookware by using tin-lined copper or stainless steel lined cookware. Both work beautifully if you follow a few simple steps:

    • add a small amount of fat of your choice (such as butter or oil)
    • place the pan over medium heat, and allow it to warm up gently before adding the eggs
    • cook at a moderate temperature rather than high heat

    Proper heat control combined with fat creates a natural low-stick effect, allowing eggs to release easily while developing better flavor and texture than traditional non-stick surfaces

    What is a frying pan used for?

    Frying pans are used for searing, frying, browning, and quickly cooking foods over direct heat.

    What are the benefits of cooking with copper?

    Cooking with copper offers:
    • Unmatched heat control – it heats up quickly and cools down just as fast.
    • Even heat distribution – copper spreads heat evenly across the entire cooking surface, ensuring consistent results.
    • Energy efficiency – because it reaches the desired temperature quickly.
    • Professional-level performance in everyday cooking – thanks to precise heat control, which is essential for recipes that require accuracy.

    Is it better stainless steel or tin lining?

    The choice between tin and stainless steel depends on personal preference, as both materials offer excellent cooking performance. Have a look at this comparison chart for a detailed overview.

    To summarize:

    Tin lining is a traditional, nickel-free choice. It is naturally low-stick and offers unmatched heat responsiveness. However, its maximum recommended temperature is lower than that of stainless steel, and it can be scratched by metal utensils. Please note that after many years of everyday use tin-lined cookware will eventually require re-tinning.

    • Stainless steel lining is scratch-resistant, easier to care for than traditional tin lining, and does not require re-tinning. It is slightly less heat-responsive than tin, requires more attention to prevent sticking, and is generally heavier and more expensive.

    Does stainless steel reduce copper performance?

    High-quality stainless steel linings are applied thinly to preserve copper’s excellent heat conductivity.
