Why this saucepan earns its place
This 12cm mini saucepan is the most compact of the five, with a 120 mm diameter and 0.8 litre capacity. It is a small copper pan for precise work, where a lighter footprint and quick response matter more than volume.
De Buyer says the Inocuivre range is built around 90% copper construction for excellent thermal performance, and that is what gives this pan its appeal. It delivers even temperatures and rapid heat-up, so it is aimed at cooking that benefits from close control.
The brass handle gives it a classic, more finished look, and the pan is described as suitable for oven-to-table presentation as well as cooking. That gives a small saucepan a more versatile role than its size might suggest.
