I was walking through a store and a large display of copper colored pans caught my eye. Copper pots are nothing new, but the display was so large it seemed to be an introduction to something that is new. Indeed, it was.
Soon I was looking at another display of copper colored pans, and they seemed to satisfy every baking need. Were these and the pans the same? Well, they were closely related but with a significant difference. The maximum temperature they would withstand.

well, baking does, but not likely past 350 degrees. The broiling setting gets an over to about 550, too hot for the copper, but well under the rating for the titanium.
Thank you. I suppose most cooking doesn't get much higher than 212F / 100C so that answers the question.
I am not certain, but titanium is used in strong steel and copper is in use for cookware already. The titanium ceramic pieces are rated for 800 degrees Fahrenheit, higher than a broiler gets, but the copper ceramic pieces are only good to 500 degrees, not good for broiling.
Apologies i am not a physicist by any stretch of the imagination. I wonder if there is any danger from very hot metal " leaking into the food ? Or would the temperatures need to be higher for this to occur ?
