Product Description
The De Buyer Inocuivre 20cm lid is a matching cover designed for use with the Inocuivre range of copper pans. Constructed from a copper and stainless steel composite, it sits securely over the pan to retain heat and moisture during cooking, giving the chef greater control over temperature and reduction without constant adjustment.
Copper is a highly responsive conductor, and a well-fitted copper lid makes a practical difference when managing delicate sauces, stocks, or slow-cooked preparations. Because the lid holds heat efficiently, less energy is needed to maintain a steady simmer — a modest but genuine advantage in a kitchen running multiple burners across a long service.
- Copper and stainless steel construction for durability and thermal responsiveness
- Brass handle provides a secure, heat-resistant grip during service
- Close-fitting profile helps retain heat and reduce cooking times
- Part of the Inocuivre range, so it integrates cleanly with matching pans
- Weighing 420g, it sits firmly without being cumbersome to lift one-handed
This lid is best suited to professional kitchens already working with De Buyer Inocuivre cookware, or those investing in copper batterie de cuisine for sauce work, fine dining, or brigade-style cooking. It is a 20cm cover, so it should be matched carefully to the correct pan diameter — if you are equipping multiple pan sizes across your range, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering.
If you are building out a full Inocuivre set or have questions about which lid sizes suit your existing pans, we are happy to help you get it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
- This lid is designed as part of the Inocuivre range and is intended to pair with the corresponding 20cm Inocuivre pan. If you are unsure whether it matches a pan you already own, it is worth checking the internal diameter of your pan against the lid's 195mm profile before ordering.
- Copper cookware, including lids, is most commonly found in kitchens where precise heat control is a priority — sauce work, fine dining, or traditional brigade kitchens. The material requires more attentive care than stainless steel, but chefs who use it regularly find the thermal responsiveness worthwhile for delicate preparations.
- Copper and stainless steel composite lids should be hand-washed where possible to preserve the finish. Harsh abrasives or dishwasher cycles can dull the copper over time. Light tarnishing is normal with use and does not affect performance, though specialist copper cleaners can restore the appearance if needed.
