Demeyere Alu Pro 5 Ceramic

The Alu Pro 5 12-inch is a large nonstick pan for family breakfasts, a full batch of crêpes or fish fillets for four, and its 9.4-inch flat base gives each portion room to brown. The ceramic nonstick surface lets eggs and fish release cleanly with a small amount of oil.Demeyere forges the body from aluminum, which keeps a pan this size easy to lift, and builds a TriplInduc plate into the base, which heats quickly and efficiently on induction and protects the pan from warping. A flared stainless rim gives a mess-free pour, adds durability and keeps the coating at the edge from chipping and peeling. The coating holds up longest at low to medium heat, which Demeyere recommends. A large aluminum pan comes up to temperature quickly even at those settings, so preheat briefly before adding fat and food.A household of one or two will find the 10-inch Alu Pro 5 quicker to heat and easier to store. When the job calls for a hard sear on steak or chops, use a stainless pan like the Industry 5 12.5-inch fry pan, which tolerates higher heat.
