Top 5 Best Copper Saucepan Sets

Saucepans are a vital bit of kitchen kit, whether it be making a sauce, cooking some rice or pasta, or even braising a small joint of meat. Their versatility and usefulness mean no kitchen should be without them. The best copper saucepans offer efficient thermal conduction as well as aesthetic qualities.

Copper Saucepans VS Other Saucepans

Why would you choose a copper saucepan over more conventional steel or aluminium saucepans?

There are a number of reasons to do this; for practical purposes, copper conducts heat more efficiently than either of those metals. The idea of a hot spot in a copper pan is unthinkable, food cooks more evenly and the cook is able to achieve far higher degrees of precision in the amount of heat they’re using.

It’s this responsiveness which makes copper the choice for a number of professionals. Their weight and heft also means that they’re highly unlikely to be shifted easily from the hob, making them safe and stable to cook with.

In addition to these sound practical reasons, there’s also the undeniable aesthetic argument. Copper pans simply look nicer than other types. With their burnished sheen and beautiful colour, they are as attractive to look at as they are useful.

A rack of copper pans in a kitchen makes a lovely feature, it’s no wonder that they’re always the type of pans you see in home lifestyle articles.

So bearing all this in mind, here are our top 5 best copper saucepan sets.
