Use a high smoke point oil such as peanut oil and place a few drops in the pan and spread over the entire lining do not let any get on the copper. Now wipe off any excess and heat the pan in an oven to 350 for 1 hour. Wipe clean and the pan is now seasoned and ready. It?s not hard to keep your new pans clean by following these simple steps. After cooking in the pan soak the pan in hot soapy water for a short period. The food will release fro the pan and you can wipe out with a sponge or a plastic scruffy. The copper exterior will return to its shiny self with a gentle rubbing of Copperbrill polish. Copperbrill needs no hard rubbing it acts as an anti- oxidant and removes the discoloration. Dry the pan well and put away. Never put a copper pot in a dishwasher. The special soap they require use strong alkalis that will ruin the pan and rust the handle.
