Summary
Prepare delicious seafood dishes, tender chicken and creamy curries in this hammered copper cataplana. A traditional pan used in Portugal to make paella, it slow-cooks food while closed so all the flavors, aromas and nutrients are retained. Copper naturally transfers and distributes heat evenly to the tin-lined interior, making it easy to adjust the temperature.
