If the main decorative theme in your kitchen is French Country, the highlight is likely the bright colors that draw the eye in. One thing that almost every French Country-inspired kitchen has is copper cookware and copper decorative items. You may have chosen copper over other pan types because it demonstrates an excellent heat conductor when cooking foods.  If you've recently purchased copper cookware or copper and stainless steel cookware, you'll need to care for it properly to ensure its longevity.
