Large straight sauté pan with a capacity of 3.0 liters, a diameter of 24 cm at the top and a base of 21.5 cm with a height of 7.5 cm. Sauté pans, also known as "schwenkpfannen" in German, are used for searing and further cooking by adding liquids. All superlatives apply to the induction-compatible Prima Matera series from de Buyer 1830. The ace up its sleeve is the 2 millimeter thick walls made of 90% pure copper. No other material is as heat-conductive and yet as resistant to deformation at high temperatures. To prevent a reaction with food, the inner wall is lined with stainless steel. This layer serves only for hygiene and makes cleaning easier. There is no impairment of heat conductivity. Please note that copper pots and pans should be cleaned by hand and not in the dishwasher. Another special feature is the bottom made of magnetic steel. This bottom optimally absorbs the energy of induction fields and transfers the heat directly to the body. The result is heating at absolute top speed. The ergonomically shaped handle made of cast stainless steel is firmly connected to the body by rivets. The handle only slightly heats up and is secure in the hand. A matching stainless steel lid with a centrally located dome is available separately. The Prima Matera series from de Buyer is the fastest, most efficient, breathtaking, and most beautiful cookware series for your induction stove. Superb!
