{"title":"Spijk Selby - Denmark","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSpijk Selby is a blacksmith and coppersmith now working from his own forge in Copenhagen, Denmark, carrying on the hand-raised and hand-forged traditions he first took up as a teenager in New York's Hudson Valley. This collection marks his debut with Eatingtools: hand-raised and spun copper cookware, forged steel-handled skillets and sauté pans, hammer-textured serving plates, and copper cheese houses, each piece built with the same scholar's attention to material and craft that's defined his work from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hand-raised-copper-skillet","title":"Hand-Raised Copper Skillet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis skillet is one of the last pieces to come out of Spijk Selby's original Hudson Valley workshop, hand-raised there before Rocky Hill Forge made its move to Copenhagen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is hand-raised from 2.3mm pure copper, finished at 12\" \/ 305mm across the rim with an 8\" \/ 203mm cooking base and walls standing 1.5\" \/ 40mm tall. Sloping gently upward, those sidewalls make it easy to chase a spatula or spoon straight into the corners of the pan, perfect for swirling a sauce down to its last drop, flipping an omelet in one motion, or working a fillet of fish with room to maneuver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is hand-hammered, forge-blackened 304 stainless steel, a material that conducts heat slowly, so it stays comfortable to hold well into a long cook. It meets the copper body through an unusually wide base plate, 152.4mm \/ 6\" from the handle's edge to where it spreads across the pan, anchored with three 5mm copper rivets with heads closer to 8-9mm. That width and that rivet size are a deliberate structural choice, built to hold their grip through years of daily use, dropped, knocked, and worked hard without losing their hold. Every decision is made with many years of cooking in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe naturally non-stick interior is hand-wiped with pure tin from Northcoast Copper, the visible brush strokes a purposeful testament to its handmade origins. Hand-wiping the tin this way, carried all the way to the pan's lip, achieves maximum thickness. More than just aesthetic, that thickness is the key to the lining's durability through meal after meal, year after year. The brush marks are the signature of that process, not something to polish away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 21.5\" \/ 546mm overall and 4lb 10oz \/ 2.1kg, it has real heft that still feels balanced and easy to maneuver. Copper this responsive, paired with a handle built to stay cool, makes it a pan suited to active, everyday cooking. It's a fitting send-off for a workshop that, by the time this piece was finished, had already begun its journey to Denmark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spijk Selby - Denmark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67561613066515,"sku":"SKS-CPRSK","price":1575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/cookware-spijk-selby-denmark-hand-raised-copper-skillet-1260298001.jpg?v=1791486521"},{"product_id":"spun-copper-saute-pan","title":"Spun Copper Sauté Pan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis sauté pan is among the first pieces to come out of Spijk Selby's new workshop in Copenhagen, Denmark, and already one of the largest and most substantial pieces of cookware we've carried. Spun from a single sheet of 4mm pure copper, it carries roughly double the gauge of the thickest copper cookware produced commercially today, which tends to top out near 2.5mm, lining included. Built with the kind of mass that defined professional and well-stocked home kitchens before manufacturers began opting for lighter, cheaper designs, the difference is night and day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat mass has a long history behind it. In Normandy's Villedieu-les-Poêles, coppersmiths have hand-worked pans since the 14th century, a trade so defined by its hammering that townspeople earned the nickname \"les sourdins,\" the deaf. This piece carries that same spirit forward, though it's turned on a lathe rather than hammered, shaped to exacting standards, built heavy on purpose, and meant to outlast the cook who buys it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 300mm \/ 11.8\" across with walls rising a full 80mm \/ 3.1\", the pan offers a generous 293mm \/ 11.5\" cooking surface, room enough for searing in batches or finishing enough sauce for the entire table. The copper tapers as it's spun, from 4mm at the base to roughly 3.5mm through the walls, concentrating thermal mass where cooking happens most while keeping the pan's overall weight manageable enough to lift and pour with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main handle and a robust, raised helper handle are both hand-forged from 304 stainless steel, chosen as much for its poor thermal conductivity as its resistance to rust. Both stay noticeably cooler to the touch than the brass or copper handles common on French-style cookware. Each is broad and deliberately shaped for control and to resist rotating in the grip, even wrapped in a towel. Anchored to the body with three 6mm solid copper rivets, they are substantial enough to inspire true confidence in the handle's hold, even if the pan is dropped or knocked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is hand-wiped with pure tin by Normandy Kitchen Copper, a lining that's naturally non-stick and fully non-reactive, so wine reductions, acidic sauces, or anything simmered for hours pose no risk to the metal beneath. Between the straight walls, the wide cooking surface, and the tin lining, this is a pan built as much for a long Sunday braise or a family-style dinner as for anything requiring a lighter touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's rare for a reason: copper stock at this gauge is difficult to source, costly, and turning it on a lathe without the wall going uneven takes not only skill, but hands-on experience, which is why most modern production has moved toward thinner sheet. Spijk calls 4mm copper the old gold standard of professional kitchens, and this pan is built the way those originals were, not to last a few years in rotation, but to be handed down. It's the kind of thoughtfulness, from material gauge, to taper, lining, and handle material, that makes Selby the kind of artist we trust to produce singular culinary heirlooms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spijk Selby - Denmark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67562124181779,"sku":"SKS-CPRSP","price":2850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/cookware-spijk-selby-denmark-spun-copper-saute-pan-1260308248.jpg?v=1791486372"},{"product_id":"stainless-steel-plate","title":"Stainless Steel Plate","description":"\u003cp\u003eEach plate begins as a disk of 304 stainless steel, its edges ground smooth before a hammer is chosen to texture the surface.
