Hammersmith Cookware-
In 1984, I was on a plane from Chicago to New York and I came across an article about the Cook’s Medal of Honor, copper cookware. The article referenced a coppersmith in Brooklyn NY named B Waldow who had been making copper cookware in Brooklyn since 1939. Intrigued, I paid a visit to the Waldow factory when I returned to NY.
The factory was located on Adams Street Brooklyn in a 3 story building under the Manhattan Bridge. As I walked in, I was mesmerized by the radiance of copper cookware everywhere in various shapes and sizes. It was compelling. Mr. Waldow explained the benefits of cooking with copper, the uniform distribution of heat, the organic natural elements in copper such as tin and brass. When our meeting was over, I knew this is what I wanted to do, create a product that’s not only functional, but beautiful. In September of 1986, I purchased the B. Waldow factory.
In 2017, we moved our factory to NJ where all aspects of production are done under one roof giving us complete control over the quality of each product.

ORGANIC COOKING- WHY COPPER
Copper has been used for cooking since ancient times because of its many benefits over other materials like stainless steel or cast iron. Our pans heat quickly and evenly for faster cooking without burning. And unlike non-stick pans that scratch easily and lose their coatings, our copper cookware will last forever if properly cared for. It’s an organic metal and environmentally safe. Hammersmith uses only the finest copper and lines each pan with pure block tin, an organic material. So let us renew your old pans too and re-tin them right here in our factory.
Hammersmith Brooklyn’s Original hand crafted copper cookware is 99% pure and has been an essential part of cooking for centuries. Copper conducts heat evenly and quickly so you can get a perfect sear on meat or fish without burning it, while the non-reactive surface means that acidic foods like tomatoes won’t affect its color or flavor. In addition, copper will not chip, warp or pit which can cause hot spots like you find in other types of cookware.
Our handles are solid manganese bronze for strength and comfortable to hold, giving you excellent balance while holding the pan. Our handles are resistant to salts and other corrosives found in the kitchen. Handles are attached to our pans with solid ¼ and 5/16 inch solid copper rivets.
You don’t need to take our word for it though! We offer a lifetime guarantee on all Hammersmith products so you can try them risk free. If you are not happy with your purchase we’ll give you a full refund (less shipping). No questions asked!
