A copper sauté pan is a cookware made from copper, known for its excellent heat conductivity and quick, even cooking. It typically has low, sloping sides, a wide surface, and a long handle, making it ideal for sautéing, browning, and searing food. The copper exterior provides a stylish, shiny appearance, while some may feature a stainless steel or tin lining for safe food contact. Regular care is needed to maintain its appearance and prevent tarnishing.
