The copper pot is a special cooking tool used for cooking polenta, which is specifically shaped to prevent the mixture from sticking to the walls.
Furthermore, electric copper pots are more efficient than the classic ones since they are equipped with an electric motor that allows a stirrer hooked to the edge to rotate and mix the polenta autonomously.
They consist of a flat bottom, to allow the hook to turn the mixture evenly. Then they feature a metal frame that holds the pot, and the electric motor, which allows the hook to rotate around the circumference of the pot.
The steps for good cleaning and maintenance of an electric polenta copper pot are very simple:
Let's have a look at the main characteristics of these particular pots for cooking and preparing polenta.
As stated above, the most important aspect concerns the outer material, namely copper. This may have two different processes, plain or hammered copper, the main difference between the two is aesthetic, since the cooking features are the same.
Another element that characterises electric copper pots is undoubtedly the motor, which is connected to a socket through a power cable: it is connected directly to the stirrer. These are then hooked and unhooked from the pot by means of a coupling system.
Above the engine, in a clearly visible and easy-to-reach position, there is also an ignition switch to turn the engine on and off.
