10 Best Copper Chef Pan Sets – Versatile Pans Merging Style and Quality

This 6-in-one pan and countertop cooker have everything you need for compact cooking with low heat risk!

The square baking pan and induction cooktop in the Copper Chef XL 11″ Casserole 5 pc Set & Induction Cooktop are a simple way to do just about anything you want when there isn’t a stove available.

Who is it good for?

It’s perfect for a dorm room or to add a bit of culinary elegance to your expanding kitchen, induction cookers are hot, even though they’re not hot to the touch. They use magnetic induction (similar to the technology of a microwave) to warm up food – this can be safer than a hot plate because once the pot is removed, the cooking surface returns to being cool to the touch.

What’s the square shape for?

The square shape of the pan makes it deep and great for cooking – it is your wok, Dutch oven, rice steamer, pot, and pan in one!

Not sure how to start?

There’s a great cookbook to help you out with using this Copper Chef XL pan.
