If you’ve never owned a copper cooking pan you may as well stop reading now because you probably won’t get it. But if you do, you will be scrabbling for Nick Stevenson’s number as you read, for the simple reason that there aren’t many like him left. Indeed, Sherwood Tinning is the only one left in Dorset that re-tins pots and pans in the traditional, hand-wipe manner. No electro-plating, dipping, or cheapo solutions carried out in Sherwood factory.

Nick Stevenson does it the old-fashioned way, with cleaning, re-shaping with a hammer and anvil, extreme heat and by hand. It’s the only way, he’d say and added:

“When I first started, I looked at dipping and electro-plating and it is a very good method, but it gives you such a thin layer, extremely thin, it’s meant for decorative stuff not serious cooking,” he says. And as serious cooks all know: “There’s nothing to compare, cooking wise, with copper – any chef worth his salt will always try to use it,” he adds.
