Medium saucepan with a capacity of 2.5 liters, a diameter of 18 cm at the top and a base of 16.5 cm with a height of 10 cm. Sauce pans are nothing more than small cooking and roasting pots in which sauces, side dishes and other small dishes can be prepared excellently. All superlatives apply to the induction-compatible Prima Matera series from de Buyer 1830. The ace up its sleeve are the 2 millimeter thick walls made of 90% pure copper. No other material is as heat-conductive and yet as deformation-resistant 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 heats up slightly and is secure in the hand. A matching stainless steel lid with a centrally arranged bulge is available separately. The Prima Matera series from de Buyer is the fastest, most efficient, breathtakingly beautiful cookware series for your induction stove. Superb!
