What Are Maraş Copper Products?

Our extensive collection features kitchen essentials such as copper pots, pans, skillets (sahan), and coffee pots (cezve), alongside elegant presentation pieces like copper trays, pitchers, traditional buckets (bakraç), and decorative objects.

Our cookware collection maximizes flavor by utilizing copper’s natural ability to distribute heat rapidly and evenly across the surface. Meanwhile, our serving and presentation products blend traditional motifs with modern elegance, creating an distinguished atmosphere for your gatherings.

Features of Handcrafted Maraş Copper

The most defining feature that sets Maraş copper apart from mass-produced alternatives is that every single piece is individually shaped by master hands. Far from the monotony of assembly lines, these products bear a unique character characterized by distinct hammer marks, intricate engravings, and traditional motifs.

With the labor of an artisan embedded in every line and curve, our products are not just everyday utensils; they are authentic works of art reflecting the history and aesthetic vision of Kahramanmaraş.

The Traditional Importance of Maraş Copper in the Kitchen

At the core of Anatolian culinary culture, copper is recognized as one of the healthiest materials, allowing food to cook at the ideal consistency and flavor. Its high thermal conductivity and even heat distribution create the perfect base for slow-cooked meat dishes, regional delicacies, sauces, and desserts. The secret to Maraş’s rich culinary heritage lies in this professional cooking performance.

Maraş Copper Pots and Skillets (Sahan Varieties)

Designed in various sizes to meet different culinary needs and presentation concepts, our pots and skillets prioritize functionality in the kitchen. Small skillets are ideal for breakfast presentations and serving hot dishes like menemen or sautéed meats, while our larger copper pots are indispensable for banquet meals. Seamlessly combining stovetop performance with table elegance, these products are your greatest culinary assistants.

How to Use Maraş Copper Products?

To ensure your copper products maintain their day-one quality and luster for many years, a few essential care and usage guidelines should be followed:

  • Heat Control: Since copper conducts heat exceptionally fast, always use your cookware on low to medium heat. Excessive heat can damage the surface quality.

  • Cleaning: Never wash your copper products in a dishwasher. It is highly recommended to hand wash them using a soft sponge and non-abrasive liquid detergent.

  • Drying: To prevent water spots and oxidation after washing, always dry your products immediately with a soft cloth.

Why is Tin-Plating (Kalaylama) Important for Copper?

For copper cookware to be used safely and healthily in food preparation, its inner surface must be lined with tin using traditional methods. Tin acts as a protective barrier between the copper and your food.

Depending on the frequency of use, the tin lining may wear down over time and will need to be replated periodically. With regular tin maintenance, your copper products will remain safe, healthy kitchen companions for generations.

Maraş Copper Gift Options

Offering a blend of cultural depth and exquisite hand labor, Maraş copper is one of the most meaningful and enduring gifts you can present to your loved ones. Intricately engraved coffee sets, elegant pitchers, coffee pots, and handcrafted trays offer an elite alternative for both corporate and personal gifting. These objects bring an authentic, warm, and prestigious atmosphere to any living space, serving as unforgettable keepsakes.

How to Identify Authentic Maraş Copper?

Certain criteria can help you evaluate the quality and authenticity of a copper product:

  • Craftsmanship and Texture: In genuine, handcrafted pieces, the hammer marks are natural and unique rather than perfectly symmetrical, reflecting the touch of human hands.

  • Weight and Feel: High-quality, pure copper feels heavy, solid, and well-balanced when held.

  • Natural Color Shift: Due to its natural properties, pure copper may oxidize and darken or change color slightly over time when exposed to air. This is a testament to its purity and can easily be restored to its original brilliance with proper care.

Crafted with meticulous care at the very source of traditional craftsmanship, our collections are presented to you with the assurance of Modabakır to bring lasting value to your home.
