THE COPPER
Back in the 1st century A.C. Apicio, in his manuscript “de Arte Coquinaria”, described the importance that copper had in kitchen tools. Chefs have always favoured this metal because it is the best for cooking; its conductivity 392Wm°K is great if compared to aluminium 225° and stainless steel 16°. This feature allows heat to spread evenly and consistently on the entire surface of the cookware. The ideal temperature is reached rapidly and transfers evenly from the bottom of the pan to the sides. The perfect control of temperature is guaranteed even when poured. Flavours and nutritional values remain unchanged and the food doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan, avoiding hot spots and burning. It is indespensable for the perfect outcome of recipes that require long cooking time such as gravy, custard, sauce, and also to sauté and to braise. Copper has great resistance to corrosion because of its natural oxidization that protects it.

THE PRODUCT
Our philosophy is to produce professional items, without frills, as we privilege usefulness, simplicity of use and precise finishing touches. Like when pursuing good results in cooking, to produce our products we believe the choice of the ingredients and working method to be fundamental.  

THE COPPER is purchased only from certified suppliers and the thickness is specified depending on the article purpose and on the type of cooking..

THE TIN is produced specifically for our company, with the most advanced technologies of refining to guarantee the highest purity and to compliance with international regulations.

THE HANDLES are produced in brass with the ancient method of mold melting. The choice of the handles occurs on the basis of the individual products.

THE RIVETS are very thick and are made in steel alloys not to be subjected to slow but irreversible corrosion.

THE PACKAGING is made with recyclable materials and chemical procedures are banished in all the phases of manufacturing.

THE TINNING is the essential finishing touch to the art of the coppersmith. Tin offers the advantage of bonding perfectly with copper, so there isn’t just an overlapping of metals, but a perfect welding. The method used in our factory, although not visible, guarantees a perfect tinning, extremely durable and lacking in impurities.

THE MANUFACTURE of turning, hammering, tinning and shining are made manually to guarantee the highest quality of finishing, while the pressing is done with modern machines.

THE COOK’S TEST.
We believe we are great coppersmiths, not great cooks, so, as you can notice in the following pages, we make use of the cooperation and input of grand-cuisine experts.

HAVE YOU UNDERSTOOD how our products are made and how much passion our team puts into our job? We hope so, but we are available to answer any further questions you might have...One request. Please don’t ask us to make low quality items, articles that have only the outward look of copper or cooktools that are lined with chemical procedures. That is not the Ruffoni way. Thanks.
