Why this lid earns its place
This is a matching lid for the De Buyer Inocuivre range, sized at 270 mm diameter and 12 mm high. It has the feel of a proper copper accessory rather than a lightweight cover, with a gross weight of 0.82 kg.
The build is straightforward and premium: copper body, copper finish and a brass handle. De Buyer states that the lid is made from 90% copper and 10% stainless steel, which gives it the classic look and the material mix expected from the Inocuivre family.
The practical point is control. De Buyer says the lid helps you keep complete control of the cooking process while saving energy too, so it is there to work with the pan rather than simply sit on top of it.
