    Ideas for use

    Getting the most out of your Ruffoni Saucepan

    A kitchen essential true to its name, the saucepan is great for all manners of sauces and gravies...but it also does a lot more. Start the day heating the milk for the children's breakfast, or preparing a nourishing and creamy oatmeal; at lunch, quickly prepare a tasty sauce for pasta, or reheat last night's leftovers; in the evening, boil fresh green peas as a side, cook rice to a perfect fluffy consistency, keep your homemade stock bubbling as you add it into a creamy risotto, or reduce the roast juices into an irresistible gravy. Finish off the day with a velvety vanilla custard.

    Choose the saucepan with a comfortable stick handle for easy pouring, or opt for the saucepot with two side handles to fit neatly on the stove and table. Either way, this small but practical shape is a versatile kitchen ally you will find yourself coming back to again and again.

    Bring directly to the table to dress the plate with a delicious steaming hot sauce or to make "scarpetta" by mopping up all the sauce with bread when no one's watching.

    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

    Is stainless steel-lined copper non-reactive?

    Yes, stainless steel is non-reactive and suitable for cooking acidic foods.

    Does stainless steel reduce copper performance?

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

    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.

    The stainless steel lining has changed color – how can I clean it?

    Over time, the stainless steel lining of your cookware may change color or develop rainbow-like stains. This phenomenon – known as heat tint – is purely cosmetic and does not affect the quality or performance of the cookware. To restore the stainless steel lining’s original shine, we recommend using a commercial stainless steel cleaner (such as Bar Keepers Friend) or white vinegar diluted with water.
