British consumer goods brand JML produces a range of “copper stone” cookware. But what is “copper stone”? Does it actually contain copper? Does it contain stones?! Read on to find out.
JML copper stone pans generally have a three-layer construction, consisting of a non-stick, scratch-resistant top, a forged aluminium core and a stainless-steel base.
The stone-effect non-stick surface offers a modern approach to cooking in comparison to the more traditional frying pans, such as chunky, dish-soap-hating cast-iron products. They are also super stylish looking, and offer a cosy, rustic look.
What Are They Actually Made Of?
JML copper stone pans are comprised of a forged aluminium core, a stainless-steel base, a triple-layered non-stick surface, with rustic-looking wooden handles, and a copper-effect finish. They don’t actually contain copper; they are just copper coloured.
The non-stick coating is free from PTFE and PFOA.
The combination of the aluminium and stainless steel ensures an even distribution of heat throughout the pan.
