Copper Hammered Cataplana The cataplana is used in Portugal to prepare typical dishes (especially clams and seafood) from the south of the country. It is made up of two concave parts, closed by hinges. It allows you to slowly cook food with steam, giving it a unique and unmistakable flavor. This cataplana model can be used on gas and electric stoves. USE A NON ABRASIVE PRODUCT TO CLEAN THE PIECE INTERIOR. While cooking don't use metallic objects (spoons, forks, etc.) nor wash the piece with powder detergent, dishcloth, or any other abrasive product, because it may damage the stain protector surface or the copper itself. Every time you wash the dish you must pass it through clean water and dry it up very well, due to the fact that water may leave stains. Never put cooper pieces in by the fire or in the oven with nothing inside.
