Made from pure copper, this lies on the expensive side but will surely blow you away with its ability for heat conduction.
Cooper in general is one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. Therefore, cookware built from copper is great for proteins like fish and seafood, because it reduces the chances of overcooking food due to retained heat in the pan.
Heat transfer is amazing, but heat retention – not so much.
Plus, you generally do not see many people using copper cooking appliances as these can be costly and may be used in some high-end French restaurants.
