Copper Cookware Trivia: 10 Insanely Creative Ways to Prepare Food for Cooking in Your Copper Pot

When cooking with copper cookware, you want to save time and money. I’ve put together some incredibly unique tips that will save you both.

1. Bamboo skewers can be used as cake testers, or to hold things like rollatini, cabbage rolls, or beef envelopes to cook in your copper skillet.

2. Some cooks use a mandolin to grate. Instead, try a hardware wood rasp. It gives you nice, long, thin strips with little to no work. Hard cheese is easily grated with this. You can also buy a micro glider grater. These also work with nutmeg; Wide ribbon graters can also be used for soft cheese, or even for peeling citrus zest!

3. Tablespoon-Sized Citrus Grater: This is nice but not essential; some also have a blade that gives you a perfect rind: a wide strip of rind of martini twist proportions.

4. For massive shredding jobs, like large batches of coleslaw or sauerkraut crocks: use a large pizza delivery box and aluminum foil. Attach a box rack to one end and hook the entire fixture to the back of a chair with a large hook. The grater stands behind the chair as the grated food slides into a large bowl at the base of the chair. The Kitchen Aid brand with a slight curve is the most stable and easy to use. (No, I don’t work for them, I’m just telling you.)

5. Ribbed Meat and Fish Slicer: Use for thin slices of soft cooked meat such as cured salmon or raw meat/fish for carpaccio. Cook this in your copper cookware. Just be careful when washing: hold the knife flat against the nearest wall of a sink and scrub with a handled brush; air dry (do not store wet: they rust).

6. You can offer some additional protection to the pan by always making sure that it is never completely empty while heating. A little olive or canola oil, or butter can be used for this purpose. Alternatively, just add a liquid like water.

7. Few people know how to cook with linseed oil or Udo oil. If you add it to copper cookware during cooking, the oil will convert to a harmful trans fat due to the high temperatures, so you should only cook with water or a little heat-resistant oil like olive oil. extra virgin olive. Then add Udo’s or Flax Oil for that wonderfully nutty, meaningful and delicious flavor!

8. Copper cookware may sometimes be coated with a lacquer that must be dissolved before use. Add one cup of baking soda to about two gallons of hot, boiling water and immerse copper cookware. The coating will peel off nicely, after which you can wash it with soap and water and then dry it.

9. When frying eggs, you can put some aluminum foil as a lining in your copper pan. Then, after cooking, you can simply flip the eggs and foil over in a wide plate, for a wonderful pancake-shaped omelet. The best part is that your copper kitchen pan will be spotless and clean!

10. Torrija without frying pan: Beat an egg with about 30 ml of milk and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl. A copper mixing bowl will give you the best magnification. Then dip a piece of bread in it for 1 minute. Microwave the bread for a minute, flip it over, and then microwave for another minute. Voila, French toast made WITHOUT a skillet!
