Professional Copper Cookware, Made in Italy.
Part of Ballarini’s Professional 1500 Series, this 32cm frying pan is crafted in Italy from pure copper with a substantial 2mm thickness and a traditional tin-lined interior.
Copper is prized in professional kitchens for its exceptional thermal conductivity and responsiveness. It heats quickly and reacts rapidly to adjustments in temperature, giving the cook excellent control throughout the cooking process.
With its generous 32cm diameter and low 6.5cm profile, this frying pan provides an expansive cooking surface particularly well suited to frying, sautéing vegetables, searing meat, preparing fish, browning ingredients and cooking larger portions.
The polished copper exterior is complemented by a professional brass long handle, while the matching copper lid adds versatility when a dish needs to be covered, gently simmered or kept warm. Its beautiful traditional finish makes this an impressive piece of cookware for both cooking and presentation.

Copper is highly responsive to heat, so high temperatures are generally unnecessary. For many cooking tasks, low to medium heat will provide excellent results while helping to protect the traditional tin lining.
Cooking with Tin-Lined Copper
Traditional tin-lined copper cookware requires a little more care than stainless steel cookware.
Avoid heating the frying pan while completely empty. Add your cooking fat, liquid or ingredients before applying heat and avoid unnecessarily high cooking temperatures.
To help preserve the tin lining, use wooden, silicone or other non-abrasive utensils. Avoid sharp metal utensils or abrasive tools that may scratch the softer tin cooking surface.
Care & Maintenance
Washing: Hand wash using warm water, mild dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid dishwashers, abrasive scourers and harsh cleaning products.
Tin Interior: The traditional tin lining is softer than stainless steel and should be treated gently. Some changes in its appearance with use are natural.
Copper Exterior: Copper naturally develops a deeper colour and patina over time. This is a characteristic of genuine copper rather than a defect. If you prefer a brighter finish, the exterior can be maintained with a suitable copper cleaner.
After Washing: Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to help minimise water marks and preserve the finish.
A Note About Traditional Copper Cookware
Copper cookware is designed to develop character with use. Changes in the colour and appearance of both the copper exterior and tin interior are a natural part of owning traditionally constructed cookware.
With its generous 32cm cooking surface, professional brass handle and matching copper lid, the Ballarini Professional 1500 Series Copper Frying Pan combines exceptional cooking performance with the timeless beauty of traditional Italian cookware.
Please Note: As a natural material, copper will develop a patina and change in appearance with use. The traditional tin lining may also develop variations in appearance over time. These are natural characteristics of traditional copper cookware and are not considered defects.
