de Buyer Inocuivre Tradition Copper Sauté Pan, 3.3 qt.

A copper sauté pan with stainless steel lining is ideal for browning and sautéing, then building sauces in the same pan. It also works well for braising meat, since you can sear first and finish with a gentle simmer. Reach for it when you want responsive heat and clean, true flavor.

Copper is valued for how quickly it conducts heat, which helps you react fast as ingredients move from searing to sautéing to simmering. That responsiveness can make it easier to control browning and reduce sauces without overshooting your target temperature.

The stainless steel lining creates a nonreactive cooking surface that helps preserve the taste of your food as it cooks. It is a smart match for sauce making, especially when you are using ingredients like tomatoes, wine or citrus.

Yes, the cast-iron handle can heat up during stovetop cooking. For comfort and safety, use an oven mitt or a dry towel when repositioning the pan or moving it off the heat.

This sauté pan is handmade in France. de Buyer has been making cookware since 1830 and is based in the Vosges region of France.
