Antique Copper Hand Beaten Jam Pan
This antique jam pan has been hand beaten. It is no longer suitable for making jam. The bottom of the pan is quite dented. This old jam pan must have many stories to tell. It is beaten all over and it has a rolled edge and large brass handles that have been copper riveted. It is beautiful and with some repurposing, it would make an exciting addition to a kitchen or other areas of a house or business. Imagine it filled with fruit. or pinecones. or rolled hand towels in the bathroom. It has endless possibilities.
Copper jam pans have been around for hundreds of years. They have been specifically designed for making jams and preserves. They are wide and shallow, with sloping edges. This allows for rapid evaporation which is crucial for reaching jam setting point. The slanting edges help moisture to evaporate rather than run back into the mixture as is the case with vertical sides. Copper distributes heat evenly preventing hot spots that can cause the fruit to stick and burn. Due to its effective responsiveness to changes in temperature, copper provides more precise heat control, helping to prevent overcooking, thus maintaining texture and colour. Jam pans don’t need to be tin lined. They are used for specific cooking tasks that don’t produce questionable acids. Cooking time is shorter due to the excellent conductivity of copper. Most importantly, there is a certain romance in using a gorgeous vintage copper jam pan. It has stories to tell and it can become part of your family tradition when passing it down through the generations.
This beautiful old jam pan measures 40 cms across and 50 cms across including the handles. It is 15 cms deep.
