This set contains all the essential pieces to start cooking with Ruffoni Historia. Sauté vegetables or cook delicate foods like eggs and fish in the tin-lined, naturally low-stick frypan; boil small sides or simmer sauces, stocks and reductions in the convenient, exceptionally heat-responsive saucepan; and roast, braise or gratin meats, poulty, and casseroles in the generously sized braiser. The braiser lid fits the frypan for additional flexibility and cooking techniques.

Crafted in solid copper for superior heat conductivity, hand-hammered and tin-lined by hand over fire so naturally low-stick. The riveted handles are cast of solid bronze, and the lids are crowned by Ruffoni's signature acorns with their leaves. This set is designed to be displayed proudly in the kitchen, inspire creativity while cooking, and be shared joyfully at the table with family and guests.

Made in Italy.

Use and Care

This Chef pan is the perfect tool for infinite recipes: sauté vegetables with one hand thanks to the high rounded sides, brown chunks of meat on the wide bottom then simmer gently into rich stews, or toss pasta to coat it with its thickened sauce. Practical and versatile, the Chef pan really shines when making risotto: its wide base ensures a steady absorption of broth, so that all flavors are absorbed while the water evaporates quickly, and the rounded sides ease stirring and prevent stubborn grains from getting stuck in the corners. Use the cherrywood spoon, included, to stir your risotto to the perfect creamy consistency.

Ideas For Use

The essential 5 piece set contains everything you'll need to start crafting delicious everyday meals in Ruffoni Historia tin-lined copper.

The large frypan is perfect for shallow-frying and sauteing vegetables and sides. To fully appreciate the control given by copper's heat responsiveness, and the naturally low-stick properties of tin-lining, try cooking delicate ingredients like white fish and eggs. Remember that copper cookware never needs to be pre-heated, and use a little fat to prevent sticking.

The saucepan is a small versatile ally in the kitchen. Boil peas and other vegetables, gently cook rice, or even re-heat lefovers. Leverage copper's exceptional conductivity by simmering and reducing velvety sauces, gravies and reductions.

The braiser will transition seamlessly from stovetop, to oven, to table. Use on the stove for a large batch of creamy risotto, or to gently simmer pasta sauces, then toss in the pasta to serve. Use directly in the oven for casseroles and pasta bakes. Or sweat vegetables and sear meats and poultry on the stove, then finish into stews or roasts in the oven. Gather with family and friends around the table for family-style dining.

A Timeless Classic

The Historia Collection

Historia, meaning ‘history’ in Latin, is perhaps Ruffoni’s most iconic collection. Each shape has been created by our master coppersmiths in the same way as cooking vessels were manufactured in royal castles and palaces upon the request of court cooks. Truly a celebration of our shared culinary history, with this collection we relive centuries of tradition and honor exquisite craftsmanship.

Each item is skillfully crafted from a single sheet of copper for maximum heat conductivity and superior temperature control. Hand-hammered by our master coppersmiths to ensure increased strength and lasting beauty. Internally lined by hand over fire with the purest, durable nonreactive tin so naturally low-stick.

Bronze handles are individually cast and attached with durable stainless steel rivets. Handles and lids are enriched with finials in exquisite shapes such as acorns, artichokes, vegetables, and animals to bring warmth and elegance to any table. Heirloom quality items, worthy of being handed down through generations.

Use and Care For The Historia Collection

Taking care of your Ruffoni the right way

Cooking and Washing

Recommended for use on gas stovetops, open flames (wood, charcoal, barbecue) and in the oven - electric cooktops also possible.

Never heat the pot empty and do not exceed 220 C (430 F). Use wood or plastic tools to avoid scratching the tin lining.

Hand-wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent, and dry immediately with a soft cloth.

Restoring Shine

With use, copper develops a rich patina over time that many love and cherish. To restored a polished shine, use a good copper polish (like Ruffoni Cleaner) or salt with lemon juice/vinegar.

When should you retin?

Tin will naturally discolor over time, but remain equally effective. Depending on use, the tin lining may eventually wear off and require retinning. Prolong the tin lining’s life by not scratching it with metal tools, never overheating the cookware, and limiting the use of acidic ingredients.
