Silver plated copper
Silver plated copper
Older tableware and cutlery are made from a copper/nickel/zinc alloy, commonly called German silver or nickel silver (among other names) (I am discounting stainless cutlery here)
The nickel in the alloy makes it a hard alloy that allows a durable cutting edge on knives, stops it bending the fork legs, and also aids in the electroplating of a thin layer of silver over the top.
It is an almost "white" copper alloy and any scratches to the silver plating can be almost invisible because the base metal is so similar to the plating layer.
There is no silver in the alloy, just a layer of silver as the plating. Pure silver is just too soft to use for knives and forks.
Likewise would be the use of pure copper for tableware, its just to soft to maintain its shape or cutting edge, and would become useless very soon.
I havent yet seen a yard that has a separate category for this alloy, and here in NZ, yards tends to just class it as brass (my yard classes it as stainless and it goes in their staino bins)
I just store it up now for use in the foundry later, its a great "white" copper alloy to have.If you are looking for more details, kindly visit buy copper clad steel plate.
Anyone Use All-Clad Copper Core
We are in a refueling outage again, so I am working 72 hour weeks for 6 weeks (ie: tired as hell, but a sizable chunk of OT). Our current cookware is about 35 years old - purchased about 2 years after we were married and it's starting to show its age.
I am considering purchasing the 14 piece All-Clad Copper Core set from BB&B (have a 20% coupon) and I am looking for some real world feedback.
Thanks in advance.
Edit to add: The All-Clad Hard Anodized line is not under consideration as it is coated with PTFE. I know that the harmful PFOAs were removed back in or so, but with SWMBOs asthma issues, I don't want to take the chance of the pans off-gassing something when heated.
