"Hotel Beau Rivage" 19th c. copper saute retinned. These antiques are as practical as any modern pan
Wiped tin is the traditional lining for copper cookware because it provides a naturally anti-stick, nonreactive, nontoxic cooking surface that typically holds up to a 15-20+ years of regular cooking before it needs retinning again. A traditional copper pan can be restored more or less eternally this way, making it the longest-lasting, most sustainable style of cookware.
Quality French copper pans are pricey, but they can permanently replace your nonstick-coated cookware, and the lifetime cost of ownership with retinning every couple decades will be lower than replacing most "ceramic" nonstick pans when the coating fails every couple years, or premium Teflon coated pans when they fail every 3-5 years. Copper pans will never end up in a landfill like nonstick coated ones inevitably do.
