Unlined Copper Jam Pot by Cuisine Romefort - 9.5 qt

A wide, 15-inch mouth gives this 9.5-quart copper jam pot ample room for stirring a preserving preparation. The basin narrows toward its approximately 10.6-inch base and has two short cast iron side handles. Formed from solid copper, it responds promptly to changes at the burner. The unlined interior makes it a specialist preserving vessel, to be used with preparations appropriate for bare copper.

“For a wide preserving basin, I would plan the workspace before the fruit is prepared. A clear landing place, a long spoon and two dry potholders make the generous opening useful throughout the cooking and transfer.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Use a tested, full-sugar preserving method specifically intended for unlined copper; combine the fruit and sugar before they enter the pot. Do not substitute low-sugar mixtures, cook fruit alone or use the basin for pickling, brines or acidic sauces. Transfer the finished preparation promptly, then clean and dry the pot; do not leave food to cool or stand in it.

Wash by hand with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse and dry thoroughly, including the cast iron handles. Do not put in the dishwasher. Allow hot cookware to cool gradually before washing; avoid plunging it into cold water. Store in a dry place, with a soft separator if pieces are nested. Use dry potholders for hot handles.

Copper darkens naturally with use. To restore its brightness, use a copper polish suitable for cookware or the maker’s lemon-and-fine-salt method on a soft sponge; rinse away all residue and dry promptly. Keep copper polish off tin-lined interiors and follow the polish directions for food-contact surfaces. Avoid abrasive pads.

Maker / Heritage

Cuisine Romefort grew from Benoît Romefort’s work at the sharpening wheel. Trained in Thiers, France, he spent years sharpening knives for home cooks and professional chefs in his Berlin shop before developing the family brand with his son Marc. That close attention to working tools carries into the cookware: solid copper discs are spun into shape through rotation and pressure in France, giving each vessel a body of copper rather than a decorative copper coating. The collection keeps the traditional distinction between unlined specialist pieces and tin-lined cooking vessels, allowing the tool to be chosen for the way it will be used.
