Five sizes — from X-Small (6.3 in) through Small, Medium, Large, to X-Large (9.5 in) — mean there is a version for every cooking scale from a single egg to a full family portion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach skillet is handmade and hammered individually. The hammered texture is not merely decorative: the surface variation slightly increases the effective surface area of the pan, which contributes to even heat distribution across the cooking surface. Tin interior lining for food safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the graduated 3-piece egg pan set, see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/copper-cookware\"\u003ecopper egg frying pan set\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e X-Small 6.3 in · Small 7.1 in · Medium 7.9 in · Large 8.7 in · X-Large 9.5 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hammered — handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper with tin lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stovetop · eggs · sauté · pan cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCurated by Rootsware · Crafted in Anatolia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Selected This Piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Rootsware, we carry handmade copper from Anatolian coppersmiths because copper is not a trend in Turkish and Middle Eastern kitchens — it is the original material. The hammered texture on these pieces is not decorative: it increases surface area for more even heat distribution. We selected pieces from established Anatolian workshops where copper is still worked by hand, the way it has been for centuries in Gaziantep, Diyarbakır, and the covered bazaars of Istanbul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-wash only with warm water and mild soap. Never put copper in a dishwasher — the heat and detergents damage the surface and the tin lining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing — standing water causes spotting and accelerates tarnish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe exterior will develop a natural patina over time. To restore the bright copper finish, polish with a copper cleaner or a mixture of lemon juice and salt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not use abrasive scrubbers on the interior lining.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot suitable for induction cooktops.

The lining is what makes copper safe for direct food contact — bare copper reacts with acidic foods. With regular use, the tin lining will wear gradually over years. When it becomes thin or scratched through to the copper, the piece should be re-tinned by a coppersmith. This is normal and expected — it is part of the lifecycle of a well-used copper piece, not a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs copper cookware safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, when lined. The tin or stainless steel interior prevents direct food contact with copper. Unlined copper is only safe for specific uses (egg whites, jam-making) where the reaction is controlled. All cookware in this collection is properly lined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it on an induction stove?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Copper is not magnetic and does not work on induction stovetops. Use an induction adapter disc if needed, or use on gas or electric coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does my copper piece look different from the product photo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause each piece is handmade. The hammer marks, surface texture, and patina vary from piece to piece — this is the nature of handcraft, not inconsistency. Your piece is unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I remove tarnish from copper?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nApply a paste of equal parts lemon juice (or white vinegar) and salt to the exterior surface. Rub gently, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately. For stubborn tarnish, use a commercial copper polish. Never apply polish to the interior lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does copper cookware last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nProperly cared-for copper cookware lasts generations. The pieces in bazaars across Turkey and the Middle East are often decades old. The investment is in something that outlasts most modern cookware by a factor of ten.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rootsware","offers":[{"title":"X-Small 6.3 in","offer_id":51916654149930,"sku":"COPPER-154","price":48.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small 7.1 in","offer_id":51916654182698,"sku":"COPPER-155","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium 7.9 in","offer_id":51916654215466,"sku":"COPPER-156","price":63.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 8.7 in","offer_id":51916654248234,"sku":"COPPER-157","price":60.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large 9.5 in","offer_id":51916654281002,"sku":"COPPER-158","price":44.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/6360\/1194\/files\/s-l1600-2023-08-08T084635.401.jpg?v=1782267436","url":"https:\/\/rootsware.com\/products\/handmade-copper-egg-pan-7-sizes","provider":"Rootsware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
