Has a Five Layer Construction
One of the factors of the Copper Chef that is not seen in other cookware is its construction. This is cookware that has a five-layer construction, making it extremely durable and long-lasting. When a cook purchases durable cookware, he or she can expect to own the cookware for as much as 20 years or even more.
The top layer is a ceramic coating that is PFOA and PTFE free. This ceramic coating is one of the factors that sets this copper cookware apart from traditional copper cookware. The base layer is a non-stick ceramic coating, as well. The cookware contains an aluminum core. The outside layer is made of a high-temperature exterior surface. Finally, the induction base is made of stainless steel that heats up faster than other cookware and that retains heat longer. Cookware of this construction not only cooks the food faster but keeps it warmer than other cookware.
Goes On Any Surface You Choose to Use
One of the hallmarks of top cookware is the ability to put it on any surface, whether it be a gas stove, an electric oven, a ceramic surface, etc. Copper Chef can be used on any surface without worry that heat will ruin the cookware. This factor is another way to keep the cookware long-lasting for years to come.
One of the factors of cookware that sets it apart from others is if it is non-stick. For years, cooks have had to deal with food sticking to cookware, making the food difficult to remove and making cleanup difficult to accomplish. The act of “soaking a pan overnight” is typical for a pan that is not designed to be non-stick. Also, working with a nonstick pan can contribute to weight loss and health as well as being positive to the environment.
Copper Chef Pans are non-stick, which means that there is no need for cooking sprays, oils, butter or other elements used to prevent food from sticking to the pot. For people who are interested in weight loss, watching caloric intake or in just eating a healthier diet, pans that don’t require the need for butter or oils to be included to prevent sticking is a plus.
Not only does a nonstick pan avoid additional calories, but it also eliminates the need for cooking sprays. Cooking sprays are a concern for many cooks because the aerosol cans include, chemicals, GMO’s and artificial flavors. These have proven to be bad for one’s health and will enter food that is cooked in cookware that has been sprayed with a cooking spray. Also, cooking sprays are bad for the environment because they contain nitrous oxide, which is considered a greenhouse gas. It is an ozone-depleting substance that is not environmentally friendly. Also, if these cans are not recycled, they end up in landfills, which is also harmful to the environment.
PTFE and PFOA Free
There’s more to a quality nonstick pan than being nonstick. There are other factors to consider, mainly if the cookware is developed with the use of PTFE and PFOA. One of the factors of Copper Chef is that it has a double top layer that is PTFE and PFOA free.
PTFE is short for Polytetrafluoroethylene, a human-made chemical. It is a synthetic polymer that is often used on a pan that is considered non-stick. It’s most commonly known as Teflon. PTFE is considered safe for human ingestion if used in pans. However, it is unknown if long-term exposure to PTFE is harmful to humans. In addition, some pans, after repeated use, could result in Teflon flakes that come off the pan. Not only does this harm the appearance of a pan, but no cook also wants to deal with Teflon flakes getting into food.
PFOA is also known as Perfluorooctanoic acid. PFOA is part of the process of making Teflon. However, the chemical is burned off during the process and is not present in any meaningful amount in the finished product. However, high levels of PFOA could have the potential of being harmful. It is unknown if the small levels of PFOA in Teflon is something that a cook should be concerned about. However, cookware with no PFOA takes away any worry about PFOA in cookware.
Choosing Copper Chef cookware eliminates the need to worry about PTFE and PFOA, making cooking more of a pleasant experience.

Copper Chef is cookware that is designed to move from one surface to another, up to 850 degrees. It also has riveted handles that take high heat and that work in a variety of cooking settings.
