Sautépan de Buyer Copper riveted PRIMA MATERA

The de Buyer Copper riveted PRIMA MATERA sauté pan has a 20 cm diameter and a depth of 370 mm, constructed from copper with a stainless steel interior. The copper body provides fast, even heat distribution while the stainless steel cooking surface offers non-reactive contact with food. The combination of traditional copper construction and contemporary stainless steel lining gives consistent temperature control for sautéing, reducing hot spots and ensuring predictable cooking results.

Advantages

The copper exterior ensures excellent thermal conductivity for rapid response to temperature changes, while the stainless steel interior resists corrosion and does not impart flavors. Riveted stainless steel handles provide secure, durable attachment and stay reliable during high-heat stovetop use. The pan’s depth accommodates larger portions and reduces splatter, making it suitable for a range of stovetop techniques.

Suitable for

• Sautéing vegetables, meat and seafood
• Reducing sauces and finishing pan sauces
• Quick searing and browning tasks
• Recipes requiring precise temperature control

Key specifications

• Diameter: 20 cm
• Depth: 370 mm
• Body material: copper
• Cooking surface: stainless steel lining
• Handle: riveted stainless steel
• Suitable for gas, electric and ceramic hobs (check induction compatibility separately)

How to use

Preheat the pan gradually over medium heat before adding fat or oil to ensure even temperature distribution. Use wooden, silicone or heat-resistant nylon utensils to protect the stainless steel surface. Adjust heat as needed once food is added to maintain a steady sautéing temperature; copper reacts quickly so lower heat settings can often be used. After cooking, allow the pan to cool slightly before cleaning to avoid warping from rapid temperature changes.

Recommendations

Hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent; avoid abrasive cleaners on the stainless steel lining. For the copper exterior, use a copper polish or a paste of lemon and salt to restore shine if desired. Dry thoroughly after washing and store in a dry place to preserve finish and performance.
