Bring fruit and sugar to a boil for a batch of jam, jelly or preserves in de Buyer's traditional copper jam pot. The wide, conical bowl gives you room to work the mixture, while the large flat base keeps the pot stable on the cooktop. This 12-liter size is sold as 12.7 US quarts and is intended for substantial preserving batches.

This is solid copper, not a stainless-lined copper saucepan or an all-stainless stockpot. De Buyer chooses copper here for quick, uniform heat diffusion and control during sugar and fruit cooking. The maker also highlights preservation of the fruit's natural color. Unlike the stainless-lined Prima Matera cookware, this pot has a copper interior and is a dedicated preserving tool. Choose recipes intended for an unlined copper jam pan rather than treating it as a general-purpose pot for any food.

Another distinction matters before you buy: this jam pot is not induction-compatible. De Buyer lists it for other cooktops, while the Prima Matera range uses a special induction base. If your kitchen has an induction range, this is not a direct substitute for an induction-ready preserving pot.

Made in France, the bowl measures 15.75 inches across and approximately 5.7 inches high, excluding the handles. Two cast-iron side handles are firmly riveted to the body. The rounded junction between the bottom and sides lets you reach the mixture around the pan, and the open rolled rim makes cleaning easier. The pot weighs about 7.5 pounds before you add fruit or sugar, so plan for its size and weight when arranging your cooking space.

At Athens Cooks, we recommend it for a regular jam maker who wants the traditional solid-copper method and has a compatible cooktop. Its appeal is the broad working shape and copper's heat response; an all-stainless pot asks less of you in copper-specific upkeep.

Soak to loosen residue and use a copper-polishing paste for cleaning, following the maker's directions. Hand wash after use. Keep the cast-iron handles and wide rim in mind when choosing a storage spot.
