Hello, it is true that on picture is not easy to judge an article, but to see the manufacturer's explanation, I expected everything to do anything else! From the grip, we think of a decorative object, copper is really VERY late and deformed by tapping on it, besides to the handles, they are cast yes, but taking the basin EMPTY, they find themselves stuck against the edge! ! ! I therefore venture to think what happens when the basin is full of boiling jam! Finally, a fine article DECORATION, but certainly not for USE.
