COPPER COOKWARE
A BRIEF HISTORY
Copper was probably the first metal to be used by humans: the
earliest copper objects date back to 8700 B.C. The chemical symbol
of copper is CU which derives from cuprum, literally “bronze of
Cyprus”, the island on which most of the copper was mined during
Roman times.
COPPER IN THE KITCHEN
A copper pan is certainly an investment, considering the durability
of the material. Copper is preferred by many chefs because it heats
rapidly, is an excellent heat conductor (its thermal conductivity is
only exceeded by silver) and is rustproof.
