Why this saucepan earns its place
This 18cm saucepan is a compact piece of serious copper cookware, with a 180 mm diameter and 2.5 litre capacity. It is sized for practical kitchen work where you want control without moving into a larger, heavier pan than you need.
The copper construction is the key feature here. De Buyer says the Inocuivre range delivers excellent thermal performance, with even temperatures and rapid heat-up, and this pan follows that brief closely. It is made to respond quickly, which is exactly what you want when a sauce needs attention.
The brass handle gives the pan a more polished finish and fits the manufacturer’s emphasis on oven-to-table presentation. It is a pan that is built to cook well, but also to look presentable when it comes off the heat.
