Kuprum
Hand Hammered Copper Fish Poacher with Lid, Fits Multiple Fish, 15.8"
Check Price
Bottom Line

This stunning poacher is perfect for the serious fish aficionado.

Pros

Handmade poacher. Encapsulated base for even heat distribution made with solid copper and nonreactive tin linings. Tin lining for safe poaching and effortless cleaning. Wide oval body lets you cook many fish at the same time and remove them easily. Ideal for cooktops. Use wood or plastic utensils to avoid scratching. Heat resistant to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cons

Copper naturally gains a dark finish over time. It does not affect performance, but you can occasionally use a non-abrasive cleaner to keep the poacher looking new.

    Poaching fish is one of the healthiest ways to cook it and keep it moist. A dedicated fish poacher is the perfect way to do this. These pans – usually constructed of stainless steel or some other metal – are long enough to hold a whole fish in the oven or on the stove. When shopping for one, find a model that has a lid and some form of rack with handles so the fish will sit above the boiling water. If you have a large family, a larger size poacher will be able to cook more fish at a time. Dishwasher safe poachers are easier to clean, and some are versatile enough to be used for other foods like lasagna.
