Copper Hammered Braiser

Copper Hammered Braiser

A rose-gold centerpiece for the art of slow, soulful cooking.

The Copper Hammered Braiser (Lagaan) is a celebration of timeless elegance and culinary precision. Known in the professional kitchen for its unrivaled heat conductivity, copper allows for a delicate, even flow of energy that transforms simple ingredients into deep, complex flavors. This vessel is designed for the patient cook—those who find joy in roasting, baking, and simmering one-pot meals that bring people together.

Each braiser is meticulously hand-hammered from heavy-duty, pure copper, featuring a stunning "rose gold" exterior that catches the light of any kitchen. The interior is hand-lined with a traditional silver-toned tin coating (Kalai), providing a non-reactive, food-safe surface that honors the art of cooking as it once was: intentional, nourishing, and beautifully slow.

Care and Use

Everyday Care: Wash with mild soap and a soft sponge. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the tin lining and the copper polish.

Maintaining the Shine: Copper naturally develops a patina over time. To restore its rose-gold luster, use a de-oxidizing solution or a natural scrub of flour (atta), salt, and lemon.

Preventing Spots: Dry thoroughly after each wash to prevent watermarks and maintain the artisanal finish.
