    Summary

    On one of his early trips to Europe, Chuck Williams discovered Ruffoni, a family-owned company in Omegna, Italy, that had been producing extraordinary pans for 45 years. Crafted in the same artisan tradition used for decades, this pot is hammered from a single sheet of copper at the Ruffoni family workshop in the Italian Alps. The tin interior is lined by hand to create a professional-quality cooking surface. This pot is the perfect way to blend beauty and functionality in the kitchen.

    • Hand-hammered copper construction guarantees top precision and control, allowing the pot to respond quickly to changes in cooking temperature.
    • Interior is lined with durable, nonreactive tin.
    • Shape inspired by antique pots that were traditionally used to prepare dried beans and pulses.
    • Made in Italy.

    Use & Care

    Use

    • Ideal for gas and electric cooktops (not induction-compatible).
    • To protect tin lining from damage, do not heat pan empty or at temperatures above 450°F.
    • Use wood, plastic or heat-resistant nylon tools to avoid scratching tin lining.

    Care

    • Allow pan to cool before washing.
    • Hand-wash; dry immediately with soft cloth.
    • Avoid using steel wool, steel scouring pads or harsh detergents.
    • Copper will develop a rich patina over time. This will not affect pan's cooking performance. To keep exterior looking new, use copper polish or combination of lemon and salt.
    • Tin lining protects food from reacting with copper but will become discolored with use. Depending on frequency of use and types of food cooked, tin lining may eventually have to be replaced. To prolong liner's usefulness, avoid cooking acidic ingredients in tin-lined cookware.

    Gorgeous and Functional

    As soon as I received this absolutely gorgeous and stylishly unique pot, I made Martha Stewart's Baked Beans recipe and it was delicious! This recipe requires that the pot stay in the over set at 300F for 6 hours. This beautiful stock pot that was styled after traditional bean pots came out looking absolutely untouched. I could not be happier! This little lady will get a lot of use in this house and will stay on display. This is Ruffoni perfection!

    Beautiful, Old World craftsmanship

    Beautiful, Old World craftsmanship — I love cooking in my Ruffoni copper belly pot precisely because it encourages handwashing, caretaking, slowing down, enjoying the process of cooking. The quality of Ruffoni is exceptional and the brass and copper materials sparkle in the kitchen next to my wooden spoons and ceramic pots, a pop of beauty.

    Beautiful but had damages and for that cost 😭

    There was like a stainless rim on part of it and copper on the other part, and there were spots on the lid They would send another, but I had to find a box and send it back. I just assumed when I sent pictures of the damages. They would try to send out a new one, but that’s not what happened so I just kept it.

    A Lovely Special Copper/tinned lined pot

    I purchased this pot because it was lovely and I've always wanted a hammered copper pot. This one is made in Italy, where my maternal relations are from and that's the side of the family with the epicurean cooking gene. :) So far, I've made Cream of Mushroom soup in this mushroom shaped pot and it lives like a queen on the back burner of my stove.

    It’s so beautiful

    I’ve admired these over the years and finally made the big purchase. Let me tell you, it’s worth every cent and the craftsmanship was worth the wait. It’s like no other you will ever own. I’m a fan for life. It’s cooks wonderfully.

    Beautiful and so useful

    I love this pot. I bought it because it is beautiful but I didn't realize how much I would use it! It fits perfectly on a back burner and is perfect for making stock, which I do probably once a week. It's a wonderful feeling to just pop it on the back burner and drop in the parts of the chicken carcass as you're cleaning it, then to smell it slowly bubbling away as you do other things in the kitchen. The copper cleans up gloriously with liquid Barkeepers Friend. The inside tin lining has darkened slightly but that's normal for tin linings. Obviously this never goes into the dishwasher!
