12" - 30cm Flat Bottom Copper Cataplana

Description

12" (30cm) Traditional Flat bottom Cataplana or Clams Steamer - This Portuguese hammered Copper cataplana is a traditional way to cook dishes on the stovetop or in the oven. It can also steam mussels, clams or scallops. Used to cook typically Mediterranean dishes, especially clams and seafood in general. The cooking process used by the cataplana prevents the loss of the ingredients’ aromas, ensuring full and excellent flavor. Furthermore, cooking in the Cataplana is healthier since the recipes use less fat, and thus contain fewer calories. The typical Copper Cataplana ( tin-plated interior) distributes the heat more evenly and efficiently. Made of hand-hammered heavy gauge Copper with Copper hinges, handles and clamps, it is tin lined on the inside. Made in Portugal with a lifetime warranty.
