Scanpan copper products in brief:
Our copper products have a layer of copper on the outside for aesthetic reasons – the inside is stainless steel and should therefore be used and cleaned in the same way as our steel products. Read how to use your copper products. See video guides below.
Has your pan reached the right temperature for frying?
Copper pans (steel pans) are perfect for frying food where a crispy and delicious crust is desired. However, the pan must have the right temperature in order to achieve the desired crust and crispiness and to prevent the food from sticking to the pan. You can test this with a few drops of water:
Heat the pan: Place the pan over medium heat and let it heat up for about 5 minutes.
Add a few drops of water: Drizzle a small amount of water (a few beads) on the surface of the pan.
Observe how the water behaves:
The pan now has the right temperature and you are ready to cook – turn down the stove slightly.
When you boil pasta, you should wait to add until the water boils – otherwise the salt can corrode and leave marks on the product.
Steel can also be used to store the food after cooking, unlike cookware with coating.
Read below to learn the best way to clean and maintain your copper products. See video guides further down the page.
Before the first use, remove all stickers, wash the product in warm, soapy water and wipe it dry.
It is easiest to clean the product while it is still warm. Allow the product to cool down for about 5 minutes before cleaning it.
Dishwasher:
You can clean your copper products in the dishwasher. However, it is not recommended as it shortens the life of the product.
Burn marks on a steel surface can occur when the pan is exposed to high heat. Burn marks are often bluish-brown and appear on the surface of stainless steel. These marks are usually cosmetic and do not affect the performance of the pan, but they can be removed if you want a cleaner and more polished surface.
