Hand-cast in heavy-gauge (4mm thick) Kansa bronze using traditional lost-wax casting and the Ayurvedic 78% copper / 22% tin ratio. This heirloom saucepan is uncoated and 100% PFAS-free — completely toxin-free with no forever chemicals. It offers naturally non-stick properties that improve as a self-renewing protective patina develops with regular use and oils. Kansa is a traditional tin-rich copper alloy, relatively new to the Western hemisphere. It creates a stable, alkaline surface supporting Ayurvedic wellness benefits and digestion. Eaglador is the only brand globally making heavy gauge Kansa cookware. Inspired by Legatum Culinæ (‘The Legacy of the Kitchen’), this piece is designed for serious home cooks seeking thermal mastery and timeless heirlooms. This uncoated Kansa bronze cookware is highly durable. Care can be adapted to your priority: For everyday convenience: Safe for metal utensils, scourgers, and the dishwasher. Or, to encourage faster development of the natural non-stick patina: Hand wash only with warm water and mild dish soap using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid dishwashers and abrasive scourgers initially. The patina is a thin, self-renewing protective oxide layer that forms naturally with heat, oils, and regular use. It enhances non-stick qualities over time and is completely safe. Hob Compatibility: Suitable for gas, electric, and ceramic hobs. Not suitable for induction. Oven safe up to 850°C. Eaglador cookware has been third-party tested and has no detectable lead and has safe levels of heavy metals. Kansa Bronze 100%
