A copper fry pan is a high-quality cooking pan made from copper, known for its excellent heat conductivity and even cooking. It typically features a flat, wide surface with low sides, ideal for frying, sautéing, or searing food. The copper exterior provides a stylish, shiny appearance, while some fry pans may have a non-reactive lining, such as stainless steel or tin, for safe food preparation. Regular cleaning is necessary to maintain its shine and prevent tarnishing.
