Know before you buy
No, this saucepan is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed for use on gas, electric, halogen, and ceramic stovetops.
The 10% stainless steel interior is essential for easy maintenance and food safety. It prevents food from reacting with the copper while allowing you to benefit from the superior thermal conductivity of the copper exterior.
To maintain the mirror finish, use a dedicated copper polish periodically to remove oxidation. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers on the exterior, as they can scratch the polished surface.
With a 0.3-quart capacity, this saucepan is specifically designed for preparing and serving individual portions of sauces, reductions, or warm butter. Its small size makes it perfect for elegant table-side service.
Yes, as a metal handle, it will conduct heat. We recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the pan while it is on the stovetop or immediately after removing it from the heat.
