Named Aurum from the Latin for gold this highly decorative pan includes a sculpted exterior and welded handles. Ultra conductive its 4mm wall and base deliver thermal mass & exceptional heat distribution and retention. The high tin composition acts as a barrier to the copper allowing Kansa to be uncoated, whilst providing a natural non-stick, non-reactive alloy which improves with use through patina development. It appeals to kitchenware enthusiasts seeking culinary wellness heirloom-quality luxury that lasts generations This pan works on all hobs except induction. It is oven safe, as the handles are welded and bronze withstands temperatures of up to 850°C. Recognised by Ayurveda, Kansa has an inherently alkaline nature, which helps neutralize acidity in food and water during cooking. By making food more alkaline, Kansa utensils support better pH balance in the body, aiding in digestion whilst promoting gut health. It is dishwasher safe and compatible with metal utensils. Kansa's tough surface withstands regular hard use and will not wear. However, to encourage the natural non-stick patina development—which creates a superior, self-repairing non-stick layer over time—avoid the dishwasher, as detergents can inhibit patina process. The care and maintenance is adaptable your needs. If patina is your priority, hand-wash with warm soapy water otherwise scouring is fine as the pan is uncoated and bronze is extremely hardy. *BUYERS SHOULD NOTE the substantial heavy-gauge construction of Eaglador cookware which is integral to its exceptional performance and heat retention.
