Advantages of cooking in copper vessel-
Copper is used by many professional chefs because of its superior heat conductivity. Hot spots are pretty much unheard of in copper pots and pans, and you can reach very precise heats. What this means is that as you change the temperature on your stove top, the temperature of the pot changes almost immediately allowing you to braise and brown foods to perfection.
Disadvantages of Cooking in Copper vessel -Copper is highly reactive with foods, so most copper pans are lined with either tin or steel. Tin wears out easily, and needs to be replaced every few years which is why you should consider purchasing copper pots lined with stainless steel. Despite the fact that stainless steel lined pots are more expensive than tin lined, in the long run you will appreciate its longevity.
Copper bottomed vessels are used for cooking because of copper's excellent heat conductivity. It is durable and corrosion-resistant. Copper conducts five times better heat than iron and twenty times better than stainless steel. Heat spreads evenly in copper cookware than in traditional pots. As copper effectively stores heat, the food stays warm for a longer period of time than other traditional pots.
