Learn more about this Ruffoni
Thanks to copper’s incredible heat responsiveness – the ability to heat quickly and uniformly when placed on a heat surface and cool rapidly when removed – zabaglione bowls are traditionally crafted in solid copper, with a perfectly round bottom to facilitate whisking for a light, foamy consistency. Set over a pot of boiling water in double-boiler fashion and vigorously whisk egg yolks, sugar and Marsala or other wine of your choice for the ultimate indulgence.
When not making the traditional Italian dessert, use your zabaglione bowl to whisk egg whites to beautiful stiff peaks: it is an old chefs' secret (with a sound scientific explanation!) that egg whites whipped in a copper bowl will stay glossy and firm without the risk of becoming overly whipped or grainy.
Crafted in solid copper for superior heat conductivity and unlined to help stabilize the custard's foamy consistency. The stick handle is cast in solid bronze and attached with copper rivets.
Made in Italy.
The Ruffoni accessories
Pots and pans might be the kitchen’s main stars, but accessories and specialty pieces play a crucial supporting role. Some, such as the pasta insert and the warming stand are born as additions to main pieces and allow discerning home chefs to get even more use and enjoyment out of their collections. Others, like our jars and olivewood tools, don't need anything else: a lovely gift idea for a Ruffoni lover but also an elegant collection starter, suitable for anyone. Finally, some specialty items like the zabaglione bowl and jam pot honor antique confectionery traditions that rely on copper’s fantastic thermal and chemical properties in the making of caramel, jams and preserves, whisking egg whites and creating zabaglione.

Taking care of your Ruffoni the right way
Cooking
Recommended for use on gas stovetops, open flames (wood, charcoal, barbecue) and in the oven - electric cooktops also possible. Use a burner that is similar in diameter to the cookware, never heat the pot empty and do not exceed 230 C (450 F). To avoid scratching or dulling the polished surface, do not use knives, sharp kitchen tools, corrosive detergents and metal scouring pads.
Washing and Polishing
Hand-wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent, and dry immediately with a soft cloth.With use, copper develops a rich patina over time that many love and cherish. To restore a polished shine, use a good copper polish (like Ruffoni Cleaner) or salt with lemon juice/vinegar.
Silver care
The silver-plated finial will naturally tarnish over time: use a silver-polishing cloth to restore its shine, or to polish more thoroughly remove from the lid by twisting the special screw - rotate the screw, not the finial, to prevent damage to the lid. Always hand-wash as dishwasher use would accelerate the silver tarnishing.
