is cooking with copper safe?

I believe it is safe but recommend you Google what kind of things copper is ideal for cooking. Some foods do not do well in copper. This pan is a "jam pan" so that's what I use it for, candy making too.

SafetyCopper pots that are lined with materials like tin and stainless steel can protect you from potential toxicity related to copper. The metal is easily dissolved by some foods and large amounts can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. According to the Food and Drug Administration, acidic foods cause copper on unprotected cookware to dissolve into foods. If you use unprotected copper-lined pots and pans, research the acidity of certain foods.

I think the answer is not simple. You can find good information on the internet. I would not use to cook highly acidic foods. I use mine solely for jams.

I BELIEVE YOUR QUESTION IS "Is it safe to make jam in a copper pan that's not lined". The answer is "yes". If your question was is it safe for everything that one cooks than the answer would be "no".Best wishes,Gary

I was about to order this pan and saw this question. I have about ten Cuisinart MultiClad pots and pants that I've purchased over an eight year period and have not experienced any issues to include the metal. I've gone from cooktop to 475 degree oven with some and have had no problems of any kind.

Absolutely not... the All Clad stainless is great to cook with, knowing it will not impart unwanted flavors into the food being cooked...

No, this mold is made of aluminum, so the temperatures required to melt copper is much higher than what this mold can handle. I suggest an iron mold for what you want.

I threw mine away. Very unsafe. The nonstick surface is anything but, and the coil is exposed on the bottom of the pan which can cause serious burns. Send it back.

I don't have copper core, I have the traditional stainless (induction stove) but it fits perfectly in my 3qt sauce pan. I can send you pics of what my base pan looks like, I you'd like.

Yes, you should buy some copper cleaning paste and use as directed. It only takes a few minutes. I use it about one a week. I just do it on the weekend after Saturday or Sunday breakfast.

Its solid copper so I would looks up to see if copper is approved for your stove top.

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

No. They are not safe for induction cooking. You would need to get stainless steel or copper.

Yes sir, but wear protection as that much exposure could be bad for you. Thats a LOT of copper oxides, and I feel it would be almost certianly poisonous, even w/ a power polishing rig (like the power drill adapters for mag wheels etc.)

From the Nuwave FAQs... Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. Medium to heavy gauge pots and pans are optimal.

yes but on a low flame. This portasol device has the ability to reach 850 °F; whereas copper soldering needs a range of 350 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

It has a copper bottom which has been crimped to the ss sides of the kettle. Don't sweat the fact that water sits on the copper, copper is an inert material used in water pipes etc. Wikipedia: Cookware When acidic foods are cooked in unlined copper cookware, or in lined cookware where the lining has worn through, toxic amounts of copper can leach into the foods being cooked.[8] This effect is exacerbated if the copper has corroded, creating reactive salts.[9] Actual cooking may not be required for copper to leach into acidic liquids if they are stored in copper for a period of time.[10] Many countries and states prohibit or restrict the sale of unlined copper cookware.[citation needed]

I have a ceramic cooktop and use this copper pan as well as other copper pieces and have had no problems. To my knowledge the only surface that won't tolerate copper is an induction cooktop as a magnet doesn't stick to copper (the test for appropriate pans for induction cooktops).

I don't know the thickness of the copper, but since I bought them I have scratched the copper pretty deeply and can't see the interior layers of other metals.It doesn't seem like something that will wear off like Teflon.

As long as it's plain water, it would be fine. Tea or coffee would pick up a lot of flavour from the copper, which you mightn't like. It wouldn't be dangerous or unhealthy, though. The pitcher isn't meant for hot; it isn't insulated nor does it come with a lid. It is quite lovely!
