      Getting the most out of your Ruffoni Braiser

      Taller than a sauté pan but shorter than a stockpot, with a wide bottom and generous slides, the braiser can not only quickly brown meats and vegetables on the stovetop, achieving a perfect Maillard reaction, but also gently braise them in the oven, covered with the beautifully decorated lid to trap in heat and moisture.

      Classic braised beef, Belgian beef carbonnade, coq au vin, but also ratatouille, veggies with tomato sauce, a large batch of delicious beef bolognese sauce... the amount of recipes possible with a braiser make it a real must-have for any kitchen.

      Its generous size makes it perfect for feeding a large family and its timeless aura allows it to move elegantly from the kitchen to the table, letting you savor your food in style, while it's still piping hot.

      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.

      FAQs

      How can I remove copper tarnish?

      With use, copper naturally develops a rich patina that many love and cherish. To restore a polished shine, there are excellent commercial copper cleaners available in the US – we especially recommend Kleen King Powder and Wright’s Copper Cream. If you prefer a natural approach you can also try a trusted nonna’s remedy: mix fine salt with an acidic ingredient such as lemon juice or vinegar, gently rub it over the tarnished copper surface, then rinse thoroughly and dry well. You can watch Rita Ruffoni demonstrate this simple yet effective method here.

      Does copper cookware heat evenly?

      Yes, copper is one of the best heat conductors available, spreading heat evenly across the entire cooking surface.

      Can copper cookware go in the dishwasher?

      No, copper cookware should not be washed in the dishwasher. Harsh detergents and prolonged exposure to moisture can tarnish copper surfaces, damage tin linings and silver finials, dull the shine of your pots and pans, and cause corrosion along the rims.

      Always wash copper cookware by hand, inside and out, using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge. After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to help prevent water spots and staining.
