The Excellence of Copper & Induction

90% COPPER ~ 10 % ST/STEEL  

2 MM THICK 

Prima Matera is a DE BUYER's innovation: it's the only high quality copper cookware that performs flawlessly on all cooktops, including induction.

Copper has the physics property to be the best heat distributor of all cookware materials, by far: it conducts heat quickly and evenly to the full body of the pan (bottom and sides).  Its high heat sensitivity will allow you to master your cooking process to reach the precise cooking results you're looking for. That's why genuine copper pans are the loved utensils by Chefs and keen amateurs. 

In the purest tradition, de Buyer PRIMA MATERA is made of thick copper (1.8 mm) to fully develop that physics property. De Buyer adds a thin st/steel inner layer (0.2 mm) to avoid direct contact of salted food with copper and provide an extreme ease of cleaning. PRIMA MATERA thus ensures remarkable cooking results: from reducing delicate sauces to perfectly searing meats.

 The copper of Prima Matera is hand-polished, a pure marvel for the eyes with its gentle and soothing aura, while its firmly riveted cast stainless steel handle allows high oven cooking performances too. 

Cooking tips: Prima Matera Stockpot with lid is the ideal cooking utensil for making soups, pot au feu (beef stew), the famous "niu rou mian" (beef noodle), or other traditional dishes. At the same time, it will allow you to first brown and sear, even roast large pieces of meat, such as braised pork.

Cooktops: all, including induction. Oven safe.

Care & Clean: Hand-wash recommended. To let the copper shine again and easily, you can use DE BUYER copper polishing paste (see add-on).
