“The heavy, iron-handled pots perform beautifully. They are lined with nonreactive laboratory-grade tin. Cleaning copper just takes some scrubbing with lemon juice and salt. The cookware is made the old-fashioned way, with pure tin linings instead of stainless steel, which even many European manufacturers use.”
– The New York Times
“Real copper cookware is reducible to the stuff of the universe, every ingredient in it—the copper, the tin, the iron—they’re all elements in the periodic table. It doesn’t get more organic than that. A copper pot practically defines the essential, unadorned good; it’s the apogee of the expression of a pan.”

“There’s no need to go to Parisian kitchen supply store E. Dehillerin to capture that feeling (or to reap the benefits: It heats evenly and maintains the heat). We have our eye on Brooklyn Copper Cookware, which makes copper pots and pans the old French way: by hand. A nonstick tin lining instead of stainless steel means they heat up faster.”

“BCC have begun producing larger diameter pots, and the 11″ 5QT rondeau is the perfect size for cooking for a dinner party of 4 or more people. I posted a short review previously of the 11” rondeau. I made duck ragu for 6 people along with fresh pasta in my new 11″ rondeau. The thick copper pan, which is lined with hand-wiped tin, performed flawlessly. It is ideally suited to braising either on the stovetop or in the oven, and it is built to outlast us all. This is artisanal craftsmanship at its finest – hand-made without compromise in the tradition of the finest French copper cookware from the 19th and 20th centuries.”

“Roasting pans made from copper actually provide a superior roasting experience when compared to any other material because of copper’s incredible ability to conduct heat.”

“Mac Kohler is the man behind Brooklyn Copper Cookware, which is one of a handful of companies keeping alive, and in fact expanding the production of fine copper cookware in America. It’s been an incredible journey, from discovering a piece at the Brooklyn Kitchen, working to make pots and pans in Brooklyn proper, until Hurricane Sandy destroyed that factory. Picking up the pieces and finding true artisans to carry on these nearly lost crafts elsewhere in America.”
– Heritage Radio Network
“The pieces you’ll find from Brooklyn Copper Cookware are embodiments of good science and craftsmanship. So, what should you look for? The best copper pans are handcrafted—hammered out by a coppersmith, then lined with pure tin (by a tinsmith) before being fit with a cast iron handle (by an ironsmith). Legit.”

“Not only are BCC’s pans American-made, they’re produced by metal crafters in America’s rust belt, who kept these irreplaceable skills alive like a lost language. And, as you’ll read, while the BCC v2.0 pans are at least the equals of the greatest European makers’, they stand apart as unmistakably American in form.”

“BCC has hit another home-run here, and these saucepans prove again that they are one of the leading manufacturers of copper cookware on the planet – and they are entirely made in the USA.”
