Copper saucepan – perfect heat distribution for gourmet dishes
This Prima Matera saucepan from de Buyer combines 90% copper on the outside with 10% stainless steel on the inside. The 16 cm saucepan weighs 1.7 kg and has a capacity of 1.8 liters. With its magnetic base, it is compatible with all heat sources, including induction, and the round interior makes it ideal for preparing sauces, reductions, and delicate dishes.
Use this saucepan when you need precise temperature control and even heat distribution – whether you’re reducing a sauce, preparing risotto, or making a delicate caramel sauce.
Superior heat distribution for better cooking results
Copper has exceptional thermal conductivity, which means that heat is distributed quickly and evenly throughout the saucepan – both at the bottom and up the sides. This gives you precise control over cooking temperatures, which is crucial when working with temperature-sensitive dishes. You avoid hot spots that can scorch food, achieving consistent results every time. The stainless steel lining ensures a hygienic surface that does not react with the acidity of foods.
French craftsmanship tradition since 1830
Each Prima Matera saucepan is crafted with de Buyer’s over 190 years of experience in professional kitchen equipment. The long, ergonomically curved handle made of cast stainless steel is secured with solid rivets for maximum durability and safety. The saucepan’s 2 mm thick copper ensures optimal heat conduction, while the polished surface is not only functional but also makes the saucepan an attractive serving piece. With a maximum heat resistance of 260°C, it is also suitable for oven use.

The saucepan has a diameter of 16 cm, a base surface area of 13 cm, and a height of 9 cm.
