Demeyere Industry 5

The Industry 5 10-piece set covers the everyday cooking of a household of four, from seared chicken to soup, in Demeyere’s lighter stainless collection.
Clad from Base to RimEvery piece in Industry 5 is clad in five layers around a thick aluminum core, and the cladding continues up the walls. Saucepans heat evenly at the sides as well as the bottom, and the fry pans brown food all the way to the edge. The pieces are lighter than their Atlantis counterparts, which makes the set easier to handle day to day.
A Shared Lid SizeThe sauté pan and stock pot are both 24 cm across, the same width as the Industry 5 Dutch oven and saucier, so the lids in this set also fit those pieces if you add them later.
Industry 5 or Atlantis?Our advice to customers weighing the two is simple. Atlantis suits the cook who sears hard and wants the most heat retention, and Industry 5 suits a cook who wants lighter pans that cost less. The closest Atlantis equivalent is the Atlantis 10-piece set. Our Demeyere cookware guide explains the two collections in detail. Learn More

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

Widest of the fry pans in Demeyere’s lighter stainless collection, the Industry 5 12.5-inch is big enough to sear a spatchcocked chicken or to brown the meat for a large pot of chili in two batches. A helper handle opposite the main handle gives you a second grip when the pan is full.Demeyere clads the pan in five layers with a thick aluminum core, and its 10.2-inch base stays flat on the cooktop as it heats. Demeyere’s Silvinox treatment, an electrochemical process that removes impurities from the steel, adds durability and leaves a lasting shine that is easy to clean, and dripless rims make it simple to pour off sauces and liquids. A pan this broad needs a burner to match. Demeyere advises a burner or induction zone that matches the base, so measure your largest burner before choosing this pan over the 11-inch.Cooks who mainly cook for four will find the Industry 5 11-inch fry pan easier to lift and to fit in a cabinet. If heat retention matters more than weight, the Atlantis Proline 12.6-inch is the heavier seven-layer version. See our Demeyere cookware guide for help choosing between the two collections.

When dinner is for four, reach for an 11-inch fry pan. The Demeyere Industry 5 11-inch has an 8.7-inch flat base, room for four pork chops or a pan of potatoes browned in one layer.Industry 5 pans are clad in five layers around an aluminum core from base to rim. In a pan this wide, the clad walls keep the outer edge of the surface hot, so food near the rim browns with food in the middle. The base stays flat and resists warping when heated. Customers also ask us about the rainbow tint that can appear on stainless steel. Demeyere traces it to minerals in the water, and a splash of vinegar removes it, as the care notes below explain.This pan has a single long handle. If you plan to fill it and move it into the oven, the Industry 5 12.5-inch fry pan adds a helper handle, as does the Atlantis Proline 11-inch, which is heavier and holds heat longer. Our Demeyere cookware buying guide covers 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

Demeyere’s Industry 5 8-inch fry pan is the small pan for one or two people, sized for a couple of eggs, a grilled cheese or a few toasted spices. Five layers of metal with a thick aluminum core run through the base and up the walls, so the sides warm along with the cooking surface.Industry 5 is the lighter of Demeyere’s two stainless collections, and its five-layer construction heats more quickly than Atlantis. When customers ask us to choose between it and Atlantis, we point Atlantis toward cooks who want maximum heat retention for searing, and Industry 5 toward cooks who want a pan that is easier to lift and costs less. In an 8-inch pan, the lighter weight helps, since this is the pan you flip an omelet in.Eggs stick to bare stainless if they go into a cold pan. Preheat over medium heat and add butter, then let the foam settle before the eggs go in; the full method is in the tips below. For more room, the Industry 5 9.5-inch fry pan gives a 7-inch base, and the Atlantis Proline 7.9-inch is the heavier option at this size. 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
