🍳 Why Tin Lining?

• This is a traditional French copper saucepan with a hand-wiped tin lining—a centuries-old re-tinning method used long before modern electroplating.
• Unlike factory-finished linings, this hand-applied tin has a more natural, uneven finish that reflects its authentic craftsmanship and history.
• In France, copper pans are re-tinned multiple times throughout their lifetime, rather than replacing them—giving each pan a new lease of life while retaining its superior cooking performance.
• Copper is highly regarded for its exceptional heat conductivity, ensuring even heat distribution across the pan.
• This makes it ideal for precise cooking and is still preferred by professional chefs worldwide.
• This vintage pan is suitable for gas and electric hobs (not induction) and offers both style and practicality for any kitchen. 

🌿 Please Remember:  Whilst this is vintage and will show signs of a previous life in a French home which all adds to its authentic French shabby chic charm, the new tin lining gives it a “New to you” feel – you will be the first person to cook on its new tin lining.
