Matfer calls this its 11 3/4-inch black steel frying pan, and the measured rim is 11 5/8 inches. It is large enough for a whole fish, a pound of shrimp or a big batch of fried potatoes, and its heavy steel holds heat through a crowded pan.The handle is welded directly to the body, so there are no internal rivets where food and grease collect. Carbon steel at this size is heavy, about 4.9 pounds, so it suits cooks who want a working pan that stays on the burner.For cooking for two, the 10-inch pan is lighter and quicker to heat. All sizes are compared in the Details.
A Large Pan on a Home RangeCenter the pan on the largest burner and give it a few minutes to heat evenly before cooking; carbon steel conducts heat less evenly than aluminum, so the edges warm after the center. On induction, choose a zone that matches the base. Once hot, the pan holds its temperature through a full batch of potatoes or a whole fish. Learn More

An 11-inch fry pan cooks for three or four, and this Atlantis Proline adds a helper handle opposite the long one, so a pan this solid can travel from burner to oven with both hands on it. Its 8.7-inch flat base fits three steaks or a batch of mushrooms browned in a single layer without crowding.Seven bonded layers wrap a core of aluminum, from the base up the walls. The mass of the pan is the point. When cold meat hits the surface, the pan gives up less of its heat, and the crust forms before juices begin to pool. Its TriplInduc base makes it fully induction compatible, and Demeyere rates that base 30 percent more efficient on induction than competing designs.Customers deciding between this pan and the 12.6-inch Proline should measure the largest burner first. The bigger pan has a 10.2-inch base, and Demeyere advises matching the burner or induction zone to the base. For two people, the 9.4-inch Proline is easier to handle. Our Demeyere cookware guide explains how Atlantis compares with the lighter Industry 5 collection. Learn More
