<p>A staple of North African cuisine, couscoussiers like this one are traditionally used to simultaneously steam couscous while simmering a stew to accompany it. Ours is handcrafted by metalsmiths in Turkey from spun copper polished to a high sheen then gently hammered for beautiful presentation. Fill the base (<i>barma)</i> with water, broth or stew ingredients and the top (<i>kesskess</i>) with couscous. A versatile and eye-catching addition to your cookware collection, it can also be used to steam meats and seafood, rice, vegetables and dumplings.</p> <ul> <li>Hand-spun and hammered copper.</li> <li>Lined in food-safe tin.</li> <li>Solid brass knob and handles.</li> <li>Ideal for gas and electric cooktops (not induction-compatible).</li> <li>Oven safe to 392°F.</li> <li>Made without lead, cadmium, PFOA and PTFE.</li> </ul>
