We love Mauviel copper preserving pans -- so much, in fact, that they're all we use to make our jams! These pans are made in France, and are made of copper and hammered by hand. Their shape is perfect for quick moisture evaporation and prevents boiling over, copper provides even heat distribution and doesn’t react with the fruit-sugar mixture, and many people (including us) believe that the copper helps enhance the flavor of the jam.

We are pleased to offer two sizes of these jam pans; the first is the size we had in mind when writing the recipes in The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook, with a diameter of 14.17 inches and an 11.5-quart capacity. This size is what we recommend for the home jam maker. For the intrepid cook, we have a larger pan with a 20-quart capacity; this is the size used in the Blue Chair Fruit kitchen, and it is ideal for larger batches of jam!

For the home jam maker who is serious about taking their craft to the next level, we can recommend no product more highly than these Mauviel copper preserving pans!

***We are currently sold out of our 11.5-quart and 20-quart jam pans. We expect them to be back in stock in late May; all jam pans ordered will be pre-orders.***
