Product Description
The De Buyer Inocuivre range is a traditional copper cookware line with a practical modern update. This 2.5-litre saucepan is constructed from copper with a stainless steel inner lining, making it suitable for professional kitchen use without the maintenance demands of unlined tin copper. The cast stainless steel handle is fixed and substantial, providing a secure grip during service.
Copper conducts heat faster and more evenly than most other pan materials, which makes it particularly well suited to sauce work, reductions, and any preparation where precise temperature control matters. The stainless steel lining means it is compatible with acidic ingredients that would react with an unlined copper surface, broadening its practical use across a professional kitchen brigade.
- Rapid, even heat distribution supports precise sauce and reduction work
- Stainless steel lining is non-reactive and straightforward to clean
- Substantial cast handle remains cooler than the pan body during service
- Copper exterior responds quickly to heat adjustments on gas or induction-compatible hobs
- A proven construction that holds up well in daily professional use
Copper pans require slightly more attention during cleaning than standard stainless steel — the exterior will develop a patina over time with use, which is normal and does not affect performance. The stainless lining wipes down easily. This pan is not induction-compatible unless used with a suitable interface disc, so it is worth confirming your hob type before ordering.
This size is well suited to à la carte kitchens, private dining operations, and catering environments where smaller batch sauces and accompaniments are prepared to order. For sites handling larger volumes, heavier-gauge or larger-capacity alternatives within the range may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this pan suits your hob setup or brigade workflow, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Copper is not magnetically responsive, so this pan will not work directly on an induction hob. It is well suited to gas and electric solid-top ranges. If your kitchen runs induction, an induction interface disc can be used, though this partially offsets the rapid heat response that makes copper cookware particularly effective.
- The copper exterior will naturally develop a patina with use — this is normal and does not affect cooking performance. For operators who prefer to keep the copper bright, a dedicated copper cleaner can be used periodically. The stainless steel lining is the cooking surface and cleans easily with standard commercial kitchen detergents.
- This size is practical for à la carte preparation, small-batch reductions, and finishing sauces made to order. For kitchens producing larger quantities in bulk — for example, banqueting or high-cover operations — a larger-capacity pan from the same range is likely to be a more suitable choice.
