Description

Practical and versatile, this smaller version of the classic Ruffoni stockpot is perfect for preparing a smaller amount of soup, minestrone, veggies and grains. Perfect for a romantic dinner for two, or for when the menu for a larger crowd will feature multiple courses.

It maintains the hallmark rounded shape of the classic stockpot and, just like the bigger version, it is 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 in solid bronze, and the lid is crowned by Ruffoni's signature acorns and leaves.

A timeless piece that will transition seamlessly from stovetop to tabletop, and can be proudly displayed to adorn any kitchen when not in use.

Ideas For Use

Getting the most out of your Ruffoni

The stockpot is approximately as tall as it is wide: a proportion that maximizes its capacity, meaning you can cook lots of food at once. Fill it with water and veggies, meat and bones for delicious homemade stock, then use it in any number of dishes. Or make a flavour base with soffritto, then layer on any vegetables and simmer gently for endless soup options, nourishing and satisfying.

Bring directly to the table to keep your soup warm until serving, then store it right on the stovetop or on a display shelf when not in use.

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.
