**You can cook almost anything in your tin-lined Ruffoni copper cookware, as long as it does not require very high heat or heating an empty pan.** We recommend using our stainless steel-lined collections for searing steaks, high-temperature stir-frying, dry-toasting seeds or whole spices, and baking bread.

Please also be mindful of acidic ingredients such as lemon juice, wine, and tomatoes. Occasional use is perfectly fine, but for frequent cooking with highly acidic foods, we recommend choosing a stainless steel-lined piece, as these ingredients may gradually shorten the lifespan of the tin lining (for example, in the daily boiling of water with lemon).
