Reduce a delicate sauce, warm a small batch of soup or keep a simmer under close control. De Buyer's 1.9-quart Prima Matera saucepan pairs a responsive copper body with a stainless steel interior, giving you copper's heat-conducting qualities without putting food in direct contact with the copper. The rounded interior and long handle make it a practical shape for sauce work.

Compared with traditional tin-lined copper saucepans, Prima Matera's stainless steel lining needs no re-tinning. That changes the long-term maintenance you are choosing along with the pan. Its other important distinction is the ferromagnetic base: this copper saucepan works on induction as well as other cooktops. Copper pans without an induction-compatible base are not an interchangeable option if your kitchen uses induction.

The 2 mm body is composed of 90% copper and 10% stainless steel. De Buyer highlights rapid heat conductivity and responsiveness for reducing delicate sauces. Heat spreads through the sides as well as the bottom, so the construction supports controlled, even cooking throughout the pan. The cast stainless steel handle is shaped for a comfortable grip and secured with rivets.

Handmade in France, this is the 16 cm model, approximately 6.3 inches across. Its 1.8-liter capacity is sold as 1.9 US quarts, a useful size when a larger saucepan would be more pan than your sauce needs. The polished copper exterior can also go to the table when you want to serve from the pan.

At Athens Cooks, we recommend this for cooks who want to learn copper's responsive sauce-making behavior on induction, with a stainless lining that avoids traditional tin maintenance. Choosing it over an all-stainless saucepan does mean caring for the copper exterior. Copper changes color with heat; a copper-cleaning paste restores the shine. Hand washing is recommended, dishwasher cleaning is not, and metal sponges should be avoided. Keep copper cleaner alongside your usual washing supplies if maintaining that polished finish matters to you.
