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

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.
