Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this product; it is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. The skimmer is compatible with all traditional cookware materials, though it is specifically recommended for use with copper jam pans to ensure a consistent material profile.
Care instructions include washing the skimmer by hand using warm water and a mild, non-abrasive dish soap. Avoid the use of dishwashers, as harsh detergents and high-heat cycles can damage the copper and cast iron surfaces. To maintain the shine, a copper polish may be used occasionally, ensuring the tool is thoroughly rinsed and dried after each cleaning to prevent spotting.
