Ruffoni Polenta Pot
For perfect polenta, prepare the dish as Italian cooks do: in a heavy-gauge copper paiolo like this one. The pot's flared sides facilitate stirring and encourage the steady absorption of water into the cornmeal, ensuring a creamy texture. The pot is hand made by master metalsmiths in Ruffoni's family-owned workshop in the Italian Alps.Crafted of hand-hammered copper for excellent heat conductivity.Interior is lined with durable nonreactive tin.Shaped to facilitate stirring and encourage absorption of liquid.Riveted brass handle is adorned with sculpted acorns and leaves.Includes a long wooden stirring spoon.A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

Perfect every time
February 13, 2013
I have only used it for polenta and custards but the it is excellent for that
I read in a review before I bought it that the spoon got ruined after the first wash.
I washed mine by hand and it is doing very well. In my experience wooden tools get a little ugly with use but they are just as good
The pot is gorgeous !!!

Perfect polenta
March 24, 2012
I've been making polenta all my life, and this is the best cookware I've ever used. There was no burning or sticking, and the even heating made for a very uniform and perfectly cooked polenta, with no spattering. Cleanup was easy--I let the cooled pan soak in water, and then removed any residue with a plastic pan scraper before washing with a soft sponge. Definitely an heirloom for my daughter! I just wish it came with a lid, as I want to try making risotto in it next. A helper handle would also be nice, for ease in removing the cooked polenta.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Shape, Design, Weight

I use this for polenta as well as many other things.... It's so beautiful and crafted so well, I have at hanging on my pot rack and love looking at it. It's well worth the money. You will own this pot for generations to hand down.

Magnificent

Besides being a fabulous piece of cookware, it is a work of art. I bought the polenta pot and the au gratin pan and I am now going to order a stock pot.

Copper Pot
November 5, 2008
Although this is sold as a polenta pot,
I use it for a small gumbo and other wonderful soupy dishes. The weight
of the pot is excellent, holds heat well
and is a superb copper pot for many
dishes.

Absolutely the best
October 15, 2008
This was the final piece to my Ruffoni copper collection, and it is just as wonderful and effective as every other piece I've purchased.
The reason I love Ruffoni copper, other than its beauty and workmanship, is that it provides perfect and instant control the cooking temperature. When making polenta, keeping the mix at a constant temperature is the secret of a smooth, creamy consistency...and this lovely little pot delivers. I recommend this and all other Ruffoni products highly.

That "silver" is a tin lining.
It is a copper pot, with a tin lining as stated clearly in the item description; "Interior is lined with durable nonreactive tin", and demonstrated in the video.

Excellent pot!
September 5, 2008
I love the Ruffoni copper line of pots and recommend them highly. I keep the copper cleaner under my sink and clean them with every use, which makes it a breeze rather than a chore. Nothing surpasses the quality of a good copper pot for heat conductivity and I am very pleased with them.

Best Polenta Pot
September 3, 2008
I bought this pot about eight months ago and have made polenta in it at least once a week since. My Polenta comes out perfect every time and the pot cleans easily and beautifully. I'm thinking about getting another one. I really like all of the Ruffoni products I have purchased. I would highly reccomend this pan, even if you don't make polenta, it works great for simering stocks for risotto and other recipes calling for simmering stock.
