This De Buyer Prima Matera SS Induction Saute Pan blends everything you love about copper with the practicality of being fully induction compatible. Copper provides excellent thermal conductivity, allowing you greater control over your cooking. The heat distribution is extremely even and the pan will respond to changes in heat virtually immediately. This saute pan is constructed from 90% pure copper, with a stainless steel interior for ease of cleaning and an induction base that allows you to use it on all hob types. The stainless steel handle, which is curved in the French style, will remain relatively cool while cooking on the hob. You can use this pan in the oven too. The base is what sets the Prima Matera range apart from similar ranges of copper cookware, as it allows for the pan to be primarily constructed from pure copper. It is not dishwasher-safe.
