Demeyere Industry 5

Melting butter, warming a cup of milk or making a quick pan of caramel all call for a small pan, and the 1.6-quart Industry 5 saucepan is the smallest in the collection. It is light enough to pour from with one hand and small enough for the back burner. Small quantities scorch easily in a pan that is too large; in a pan sized to the batch, butter and chocolate melt gently for baking, and a finishing sauce stays under close temperature control.Small saucepans are where thin cookware shows its faults, since heat from the burner climbs the sides and scorches whatever clings there. Here the aluminum core extends through the walls of the pan as well as the base, which spreads that heat evenly and keeps a reduction from burning where it touches the side. The rim is shaped for dripless pouring, which matters when the pan is full of hot caramel. Demeyere designed the Industry 5 line for professional kitchens, and it is equally well suited to the home kitchen; the series pairs a robust, American-inspired design with Demeyere’s construction technology. Demeyere has been a benchmark for stainless steel cookware since 1908, and professional chefs and home cooks around the world rely on it.For rice for two, step up to the 2.25-quart Industry 5 saucepan; for family-size batches, the 3.2-quart or 4.25-quart. The Atlantis 1.6-quart saucepan is the heavier version, with a copper-cored base. Our Demeyere cookware guide explains the two collections. Learn More
