Why this frying pan earns its place
If you want a premium copper pan or dish that can move from oven to table, this 36 cm De Buyer Inocuivre oval dish is made for exactly that sort of work. It is built in copper, with brass handles that give it a more refined finish as well as a practical way to lift and carry it.
The copper construction is doing the heavy lifting here: De Buyer says the pan has excellent thermal performance, with even temperatures and rapid heat-up. At 4.2 litres, it gives you a useful amount of capacity for cooking and presentation in one piece.
It is suitable for most heat sources, except induction, and it is not dishwasher safe or freezer safe. In other words, this is a serious cooking-and-serving piece that rewards normal care rather than shortcut cleaning.
