Product Description
The De Buyer Inocuivre 12cm round dish is a small copper serving and cooking vessel from De Buyer's professional copperware range. Constructed primarily from copper with a tin lining and fitted with solid brass handles, it is designed for use both in the oven and at the table — making it a practical choice where presentation is part of the service.
Copper conducts heat considerably faster and more evenly than stainless steel or cast iron, which makes this dish well suited to preparations that benefit from precise, responsive temperature control. At this compact size, it heats through quickly and holds that heat well enough to carry food from the kitchen pass to the table without significant temperature loss — useful for individual portions of egg dishes, gratins, sautéed garnishes, or small sauce preparations.
The practical advantages of this dish in a working kitchen include:
- Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hot spots during cooking
- Copper construction allows rapid response to heat adjustments
- Brass handles remain cool enough to handle with a cloth during short oven use
- The oven-to-table format removes the need for a separate serving dish
- The 340g weight keeps the dish manageable for front-of-house service
One consideration worth noting: copper cookware of this type is not suitable for induction hobs. It performs well on gas and conventional electric ranges, and in ovens. The tin lining also requires some care — abrasive cleaning materials should be avoided to preserve the interior surface over time.
This dish is best suited to restaurants, private dining operations, and hotel kitchens where individual portion presentation carries weight. At 12cm it serves a single portion; operators with higher-volume or larger-portion requirements may find a bigger size within the Inocuivre range more appropriate for their needs.
If you are building out a copperware selection or are unsure which sizes would work best across your menu, we are happy to help you work through the options before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — copper is not induction-compatible, and this dish will not work on an induction heat source. It performs well on gas and conventional electric ranges, as well as in conventional ovens.
- The tin lining should be cleaned with non-abrasive cloths or soft brushes and mild detergent. Scouring pads and harsh chemical cleaners will damage the lining over time. With proper care, the interior remains serviceable for many years, though heavy commercial use will eventually require re-tinning.
- The 12cm dish is well suited to single-portion presentations — egg dishes, individual gratins, small garnishes, or sauce work. If you are cooking for shared portions or larger individual servings, a bigger size within the Inocuivre range would be a more practical choice.
