Demeyere Industry 5

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 More

For one stainless fry pan to cover weeknight dinners for two, the Industry 5 9.5-inch is a sensible size. Its 7-inch flat base holds two chicken thighs skin side down or a pair of burgers, and the flared sides let a spatula slide under food at the edge.The pan is fully clad, meaning its five layers and aluminum core run up the walls as well as across the base. A TriplInduc base designed for induction sits underneath, and Demeyere engineers it to resist warping under heat. The handle is welded with no rivets, which removes the usual place for carbonized grease and bacteria to build up, and the smoothly curved interior makes whisking and wiping simple. A folded, dripless rim gives clean transfers of sauces and fat. The pan has enough thermal mass to hold its heat without the wrist fatigue of heavy cast iron, a balance suited to tossing pasta or flipping omelets on a busy line.Set beside the Atlantis Proline 9.4-inch, this pan is about a quarter lighter, which makes a difference when you tilt it to baste or pour off fat. Atlantis holds heat a little longer for a hard sear; Industry 5 is quicker to pick up and move. It is heavier and holds heat more steadily than an All-Clad D3 pan without the weight of Atlantis, which makes it a practical middle ground for daily professional use. Need more room? The Industry 5 11-inch serves four, and the 8-inch is the egg pan of the collection. Read our Demeyere cookware guide for a full comparison of the collections. Learn More

A sauté pan’s straight sides hold in liquid, so you can brown pork chops, deglaze with cider and simmer them in the same pan. This 3-quart Industry 5 pan gives you a 9.4-inch floor and a lid, which turns it into a covered braiser.A long handle lets you shake and toss vegetables, and a short helper handle opposite it lets you lift a full pan with both hands. The pan is clad in five layers, with a 3mm aluminum core, right up to the rim, which keeps heat even across the floor and the walls.If oven-to-table cooking matters more than tossing, choose the Industry 5 deep sauté pan, which holds as much and uses two side handles. For heavier heat retention, compare the Atlantis 3-quart sauté pan. This pan is also included in the Industry 5 10-piece set. Our Demeyere cookware guide compares Industry 5 with Atlantis.

The 4.25-quart Industry 5 saucepan is the largest saucepan in the collection, big enough for a double batch of rice or a pot of chili for four. At about 8.7 inches across, it still fits a medium burner.With its five-layer cladding reaching the rim, a large volume of liquid heats evenly. A dripless pouring rim makes it easier to pour soup into bowls or drain blanching water.It is also a good size for blanching vegetables before shocking them in ice water. Customers deciding between this and the 3.2-quart saucepan should consider batch size. The smaller pan is lighter for daily rice and vegetables; this one handles soups and larger family meals. For pasta in quantity, the Industry 5 8.5-quart stock pot gives the water room to stay at a boil. Both are part of the Industry 5 10-piece set, and our Demeyere cookware guide has more on choosing.

Boiled potatoes for mashing, a pot of grits or green beans for six fit the Industry 5 3.2-quart saucepan, a pan 20 cm wide and about 10 cm deep. It is a practical everyday size for a household of four.Its aluminum-cored cladding wraps the whole pan. In a saucepan, that means a thick soup or a custard heats evenly at the sides. Demeyere shapes the rim to pour cleanly, so draining potatoes over a colander leaves no trail of water down the outside.To avoid pitting the steel, add salt once the water boils. Salt that sits undissolved on the bottom of a cold pan can leave small marks, which Demeyere notes in its care guidance. For larger batches, the 4.25-quart Industry 5 saucepan adds an extra quart. The heavier Atlantis 3.2-quart saucepan is the same size with a copper-cored base, and our Demeyere cookware guide compares both. Learn More

Eight and a half quarts is enough for a full batch of chicken stock, a box of pasta with room to boil or soup for a crowd, and the Industry 5 stock pot holds it in a tall, 9.4-inch-wide body that fits a standard burner. Two loop handles make it manageable to carry to the sink when full.Like the rest of Industry 5, this pot is fully clad, its aluminum-cored layers continuing from the base up to the rim. Clad walls keep a stock or chili simmering evenly at the sides, and the pot weighs less than the Atlantis stockpot of the same size.Customers ask us whether they need a stock pot and a Dutch oven. The stock pot is taller for liquids; the Industry 5 5.5-quart Dutch oven is shorter for braising and shares this pot’s lid size. For heat retention, compare the Atlantis 8.5-quart stockpot, and see our Demeyere cookware guide for more. Learn More

Part sauté pan and part Dutch oven, the Industry 5 deep sauté pan has a 9.4-inch floor for browning and walls deep enough for a braise. Short loop handles on both sides replace the long handle of a standard sauté pan, so it fits in the oven easily and comes to the table as a serving dish.Use it to brown chicken thighs and finish them in sauce, or to bake a gratin. Because the cladding extends up the sides, the pan holds an even simmer across its whole depth.Demeyere lists this pan as 3.5 quarts in some places and 4 quarts in others, but its measured capacity is 2.8 liters, or just under 3 quarts, which is how we name it. If you prefer a long handle for tossing and stirring, the Industry 5 3-quart sauté pan has the same capacity with a long handle and a helper handle. It is the same width as the Industry 5 Dutch oven.
