Pros and Cons

The stainless steel body of Chefmate copper cookware contributes to the overall strength, it also provides a very non-reactive cooking surface. The stainless steel is not a lining in this cookware, it is the actual body which means it doesn’t need any maintenance and it’s very easy to clean with just soap and water. The copper bottom with encapsulated aluminum allows for very quick heat transfer which is what you need if you need to cook the food using precision timing and heat. The conductivity also translates to money savings because you will need to use less heat to cook the food, the warm up time and pre-heat time will be lessened. The encapsulated aluminum contributes to heat accumulation which allows the food to be cooked evenly and uniformly, there are no risk of undercooking some parts of the food and overcooking the other parts. The die cast handle allows for handling the cookware without the risk of getting burnt because die cast stays cooler longer than stainless or copper, it’s best to still use potholders for protection. The Chefmate cookware is oven safe which means you tackle recipes which requires being taken from the stove straight to the oven to finish the cooking process. The Chefmate copper cookware is very durable and will last for a long time.

While the Chefmate copper cookware is built with generous amounts of stainless, it is best still to wash it by hand because the dishwasher soap may contain acidic substances which can tarnish the copper base. Discoloration of the copper base may also become a problem when used for an extended period of time, but the discoloration can come off quite easily by using copper polish.
