Learn more about this Ruffoni
Clever and energetic, Donald Duck is always up to something – and so is this braiser! In the morning, you might spot it in the oven, baking a delicious fruit crumble or egg shakshuka for breakfast. At dinner time, you'll find it on the stovetop, browning proteins, sweating aromatics and simmering grains and veggies for quick and delicious one-pot meals. And during the weekend, if you wake up early you can find it already at work, gently simmering a rich sauce for Sunday lunch.
Crafted in solid copper for superior heat conductivity, hammered for increased strength and lasting beauty and tin-lined by hand over fire so naturally low-sticking. The riveted handles are cast of solid bronze, and the lid is crowned by a solid bronze Donald Duck limited edition knob, designed to celebrate Disney 100 Years of Wonder.
A collector piece that will transition seamlessly between stove, oven and table – and can be proudly displayed to adorn the kitchen when not in use.
Disney100 x Ruffoni collection
Celebrate Disney 100 Years of Wonder with the Disney100 x Ruffoni Limited Edition: a special collection that combines Disney's beloved Classic characters with the most iconic of our collections – Ruffoni Historia.
Sharing the commitment to create high-quality products that spread joy and happiness into people's lives, we have partnered with Disney Home to design five collector pieces that bring the heroes of our childhood to our kitchens.
Disney Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto adorn the lids of exquisite tin-lined copper pots and pans, while Goofy adorns the solid copper toolholder which completes the line-up. All are artisanally handcrafted in Italy in very limited quantities by our master coppersmiths, to add a touch of Disney magic to every home.
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.
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.
Never heat the pot empty and do not exceed 220 C (430 F). Bronze handles will get hot: always use pot holders while cooking.
Use wood or plastic tools to avoid scratching the tin lining.
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.
Tin Care
Tin will naturally discolor over time, but remain equally effective. Depending on use, the tin lining may eventually wear off and requireretinning. Prolong the tin lining's life by not scratching it with metal tools, never overheating the cookware, and limiting the use of acidic ingredients.
