Soup pot - 4qt

$450

Recommended for use on gas stovetops, open flames (wood, charcoal, barbecue) and in the oven - electric cooktops also possible. Use a burner that is similar in diameter to the cookware, never heat the pot empty and do not exceed 230 C (450 F). To avoid scratching or dulling the polished surface, do not use knives, sharp kitchen tools, corrosive detergents and metal scouring pads.

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

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

The silver-plated finial will naturally tarnish over time: use a silver-polishing cloth to restore its shine, or to polish more thoroughly remove from the lid by twisting the special screw. Always hand-wash as dishwasher use would accelerate the silver tarnishing.

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.
