Does the DUCQ copper frying pan work on induction?

Yes. Copper itself is not magnetic, but the base is made of induction-compatible steel. This means it works perfectly on induction hobs, as well as gas, ceramic, electric and halogen ones. Bonus: the base stays flat when heated. If you often cook for long periods over high gas heat, the base may warp slightly over time.

Can the DUCQ copper frying pan go in the oven?

Yes, up to 250 °C. The handles do get hot in the oven, so use oven mitts to remove the pan.

Can the DUCQ copper frying pan go in the dishwasher?

Probably not. Technically it’s allowed, but copper can become dull more quickly in the dishwasher. Wash it with hot water and a drop of dishwashing liquid, and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. That will keep it shiny.

Does the handle get hot?

No, as long as you place the pan in the center of a suitable cooking zone. The handle only touches the pan at two small points, so very little heat is transferred to it. On a gas stove, flames licking up the side of the pan can heat the handle. And in the oven, of course, it will get hot.

Is the DUCQ copper frying pan PFAS-free?

Yes. There is no non-stick coating: the inside is just stainless steel. So no PFAS either.

Does my food come into contact with copper?

No. The interior is stainless steel and is completely sealed and even folded over at the edge. So your food never comes into contact with the copper and the aluminum underneath.

How do you keep copper looking beautifully shiny?

Copper tarnishes and discolors over time, which is part of its charm. Want to restore its shine? Polish it occasionally with DUCQ copper polish. If you wait too long, polishing will eventually be the only option left.

Why isn't the lid made of copper?

Because your food must not come into direct contact with copper. The lid is therefore made of stainless steel: safe, indestructible and easy to clean.

Does it scratch copper quickly?

Copper is a relatively soft metal, so minor scratches are to be expected with daily use. Using wooden or silicone spatulas will help keep the pan in the best condition. A scratch will not affect its cooking performance.

How do I prevent food from sticking in the DUCQ copper frying pan?

Preheat the pan over medium heat and perform the water droplet test: if water droplets roll around like marbles, it is ready. Only then add the fat and then the food. Do not turn it over too early: as soon as a crust has formed, it will release on its own.

How do I remove white spots or discoloration from the inside?

White spots are limescale or starch, while discoloration is caused by overheating. Both can be removed with a soft cloth and a splash of vinegar. A brown haze on the outside? Give it a quick polish with stainless steel cleaner from the supermarket.

What do I get out of those 3 layers?

An aluminium core between copper and stainless steel ensures that heat spreads quickly and evenly throughout the entire pan. No hot spots, so less burning, and you save energy.

Product information

Suitable for all heat sources, including induction

PFAS-free

A wonderfully large frying pan for cooking meat or potatoes. Because the handle is hollow, it doesn't get hot as quickly, so you don't need an oven mitt when, for example, you're tossing your potatoes. And do you want to let your meat simmer for a while? Then put on the accompanying lid and the rest will take care of itself.

DUCQ pans are not only beautiful in design but also of excellent quality. The pans are made up of 3 layers: copper on the outside, stainless steel (SS) on the inside, and an aluminum intermediate layer.

DUCQ pans are dishwasher safe, but it is better to wash them by hand. Are you not made for that? Then you can simply put them in the dishwasher. It is advisable to dry the pans immediately after the wash cycle with a soft cloth. This prevents streaks and the deposition of water droplets. Please note that the pans may become slightly duller with regular use in the dishwasher. But a quick polish with copper cleaner will thankfully easily restore their shine.
