Best praise vs top criticism for De Buyer Prima Matera Copper 2.1-quart Saucepan
“Not sure why allmost noone are able to answer your question, but copper is absolutely worth it especially for a saucier! You wont want it to be extremely thick, but still thick enough to actually heat evenly. Your only option for induction compatible copper look is De Buyer Prima Matera, but its expensive but especially for a saucier it might be worth it!”
“I have tried De Buyer Prima Matrae: https://www.debuyer.com/en/475-prima-matera Was not durable enough for my frypans standards, so I have a Falk copper core on the way. In my experince copper, at least the Prima Maetra on induction is stupid fast.”
