Copper chef XL casserole pan features

The copper Chef XL set is an easy clean non-stick pan that uses highly advanced Cerami-Tech technology. The coating of the pan is infused with high quality copper that is able to resist heat to a high level of 850 degrees. This high heat resistance enables you to use the Copper Chef XL pan for cooking, move it directly to oven or to your dining table easily.

The copper chef pan has other important feature that enhances its heating capacity and makes it an excellent addition to your kitchen. Here is a detailed review of its features:

Even heating: The pan features channels for induction heat to travel resulting in quick heating up. The induction plate reduces the hot spots and can be used on induction stove, regular gas or electric stove tops without losing its efficiency.

Ease of handling: Copper Chef XL casserole pan is easy to move around. The user friendly riveted handles and the helper handle make it easy to hold the pan while cooking, tossing vegetables, making omelettes etc. You can also lift the pan from the stove to the dining table and serve the dish without having to transfer the contents.

Safe and hassle free coating: Copper Chef XL pan comes with PFOA and PTFE free non-stick coating. PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is a chemical that has been used in cookware with non-stick coating. When heated to 260 degrees or more it starts deteriorating, and decomposes totally when the heating temperature reaches 350 degrees and above. The decomposed and airborne material can lead to symptoms similar to flu, when you inhale it.

PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) is a non-stick material which is also not in use now, as it has been proved to cause damage to liver function and hormone levels, and reduces immunity. It has also been linked with cancer.

The premium quality coating is resistant to flaking, peeling and chipping, so you need not worry about the health of your family. The pan is also easy to clean, as it is completely dishwasher safe. The non-stick coating prevents food from sticking to the pan, so clean up is ultra-easy.

Premium quality cooking material: The fantastic thermal conductivity of the copper cookware is its most significant benefit. The copper pan is constructed with five heating focused layers.

1. The top layer has a double coating of copper ceramic that is free of PTFE and PFOA.
2. The base layer has ceramic with non-stick feature.
3. The central core is made of aluminium to enhance thermal conductivity, so the pan heats up fast saving you fuel, time and energy.
4. The outside layer is made of an exterior copper coating that is made of high temperature fused copper.
5. The base layer, which is in contact with the gas, electric or induction stove is made of stainless steel with induction channels that make heating even, fast and also retains the heat for longer time.

Attractive design: Copper cookware is pleasing to look at. The conventional pans and pots made of copper are expensive and they corrode easily, if not cleaned and dried immediately.

Moreover when you cook acidic or alkaline foods, the copper adds a metallic flavour to the cooked food. However Copper Chef XL pan design eliminates all these drawbacks with its non-stick and cerami technology.

Customer reviews:

Copper Chef XL Pan has received some really good reviews from users for its multipurpose cooking feature, which makes daily cooking a fast and hassle free chore.

Many users like the fry pan and handle features that make cooking easier. The recipe book that has some really easy to do and delicious recipes and extra-large size are definitely great additions to the CopperChef XL casserole pan.

However some users have reported that the non-stick does not work as advertised. The food sticks to the pan and has to be scrapped off, which leaves scratches behind.

A few users have mentioned about the induction stove top not heating up properly. It either overcooks or undercooks the food due to temperature control being faulty.

A few users found that it did not boil water or oil to the sufficient temperature. And many users are not happy with the make of the induction stove, as it is of low grade plastic and emits unpleasant plastic odour when heated.
