Rounded Copper Braiser with Lid

Description

Our large copper braiser with rounded base is available in either 5.0qt. or 7.8qt. capacity.  This large capacity with its relative low sides makes those pots ideal for braising, allowing the meat to have maximum contact with the heat source making it easier to get it all nicely browned before it simmers. The rounded transition from the base to the sides of the braiser makes working the food with utensils very easy. 

Our copper braiser is made using one single sheet of 3mm thick pure copper providing a very fast and even heat distribution throughout the entire body of the cookware. The copper braiser comes completed with a lid and features pure brass handles secured with pure copper rivets. The tinning is done utilizing the traditional fire-tinning method using only 100% pure tin.

Available sizes & capacities:

5.0qt. (4.8ltr.) – (W) 10.2″ x (H) 3.5″ (26cm x 9cm)
7.8qt. (7.4ltr.) – (W) 11.8″ x (H) 4.1″ (30cm x 10.5cm) 

100% Hand-Crafted in our workshop in Ravina, Italy:

Our rounded copper braiser with lid is handcrafted in the Navarini workshop in northern Italy. The body and the lid of our copper casserole is constructed from one single sheet of copper ensuring absolute even heat distribution from the base to the sides of the pot. The two handles are made of high quality brass and secured by pure copper rivets.

3mm thick, pure high quality copper:

The copper used for our braiser is pure copper with a thickness of 3mm making this copper braiser equally suitable on gas as well as electric, glass or ceramic stoves. 

 No unwanted hot-spots, air-pockets or loss of efficiency: 

Other type of materials such as stainless steel or aluminum as well as the way some cookware is constructed, might result in air pockets in the material especially the base. These air pockets would allow heat to concentrate on one spot creating hot spots over time. The base of the Navarini copper braiser will never create any hot spots, air pockets or lose any of its superior heat conductivity as it is made of one single sheet of copper. This means that the thermal heat conductivity as well as heat retention will not only be superior to stainless steel or aluminum cookware but will retain its high level of efficiency throughout the lifetime of your Navarini copper cookware.

Exceptional heat conductivity and retention:

Copper conducts heat twice as fast as aluminum cookware, 5 times faster compared to cast iron and over 25 times faster than stainless steel cookware. This time difference becomes obvious when it comes to heating up or changing the temperature during the cooking process. Changing the temperature on your stove translates into immediate change in temperature in your copper cookware allowing cooking, brown or braising to perfection.

Pure brass handles secured with pure copper rivets:

Our rounded copper braiser features 2 handles. We only use high quality brass handles on any of our copper products as well as only secure them with pure copper rivets. The lid handle is also secured with copper rivets.

Hand-hammered for enhanced durability and structure: 

Our rounded copper braiser, including the lid, is entirely hand-hammered. Hand-hammered copper cookware adds strength and enhances the structure & durability of the material. In addition, hand-hammered characterizes true artisanship.

High quality, non-reactive & renewable tin-lining using traditional fire-tinning method:

We only use high quality, 100% pure and non-reactive tin-lining for our copper products as well as applying the lining utilizing the traditional method of fire-tinning. The advantage is that the heat conductivity of the tin-lining corresponds perfectly with the copper. Hence, translates desired changes of cooking temperature immediately to the food allowing much more cooking control and better results. Compared to other coating materials, our tin-lining can easily be renewed as often as desired and your cookware can be handed onto the next generation.

High level of heat tolerance:

Our copper cookware including the non-reactive and renewable tin-lining has a high heat tolerance of up to 450° Fahrenheit (230° Celsius). One of the reasons why our copper cookware is preferred by professional chefs around the world.

Rounded transition from the base to the side:

Rather then having straight sides, this particular braiser is crafted with a smooth and rounded transition from the base to the sides of the cookware. This rounded transition allows working the food with utensils easier and more efficient.

Packed in a beautiful “Bottega Navarini” cloth bag:

As most of our larger copper products, our copper braiser will arrive packed in a beautiful blue “Bottega Navarini” cloth bag. Not only a fitting bag for our beautiful copper products but already treasured by our customers as a sign of an original Navarini. 

Crafted by hand in the Navarini family workshop of Ravina, Italy.
