Demeyere Industry 5 3.5-Quart Saucier with Lid
A saucier like this 3.5-quart Industry 5 has a narrow base and wide, sloping walls that meet the bottom in a curve, so a whisk reaches every part of the pan. That shape suits risotto, pastry cream, polenta and pan sauces that need constant stirring, and the wide top speeds reduction. When you toast rice for risotto and then stir it for twenty minutes, the sloped sides make the work easier on the wrist.Demeyere’s European catalog names it a conical sauteuse, and some retailers sell it as an essential pan. The cladding follows the sloped walls to the rim, so the curve of the pan heats as evenly as the base.Customers ask whether a saucier can replace a saucepan. For stirred dishes it does the job better, though the straight-sided Industry 5 3.2-quart saucepan is easier for boiling and storing leftovers. The Atlantis 3.5-quart saucier is the seven-layer version. Our Demeyere cookware guide compares both collections. Learn MoreRegular Price: $299.99

Demeyere Alu Pro 5 10-inch Ceramic Nonstick Fry Pan
Ten inches is the useful middle size in nonstick, wide enough for three or four eggs, a stack of pancakes cooked two at a time or a delicate fish fillet that would tear in a stainless pan. The Alu Pro 5 10-inch has a ceramic nonstick surface and a broad 8.5-inch flat base.Cold-forged aluminum heats fast and spreads that heat evenly across the base. An induction plate is built into the bottom, and Demeyere says the base resists warping. Keep the burner at low to medium, as Demeyere advises for this coating; the aluminum reaches cooking temperature quickly, so there is no need for high heat.The 8-inch Alu Pro 5 is the size for one or two eggs, and the 12-inch handles family breakfasts. A nonstick pan for eggs and fish works well beside a stainless pan for searing, such as the Industry 5 9.5-inch fry pan. The Demeyere cookware guide explains where nonstick fits beside stainless.
