Demeyere Stainless Steel Cookware

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

One pot that steams, boils and deep-fries saves a lot of cabinet space, and the Resto 8.5-quart multi-pot does it with a pair of deep lift-out colanders. Drop one in to cook pasta and lift it out to drain without carrying a pot of boiling water to the sink, or use it as a steamer basket for vegetables and dumplings above simmering water. With both colanders in place, you can blanch spring vegetables in one while penne boils in the other. The tall pot also steams asparagus standing upright and whole ears of corn.With the colanders out, the pot works as a stockpot for soup and stock or as a heavy pot for browning and stewing. Demeyere lists seven uses in all, deep-frying among them, with a colander serving as the fry basket. In our hands-on testing, the encapsulated base with its aluminum core spread heat well toward the sides, so deep-frying oil held an even temperature, such as 350°F (175°C), out to the edges of the pot. Markings inside the pot show how much water you have added, which saves measuring.Resto is Demeyere’s value collection, made for cooks who want sturdy stainless cookware at a lower cost than Atlantis or Industry 5. For a stockpot in those collections, see the Atlantis 8.5-quart stockpot or the Industry 5 8.5-quart stock pot. Our Demeyere cookware guide covers all three. Learn More

Built around braising and sauce work, the Atlantis 9-piece set leans toward big pots and wide pans. It suits a cook who makes stews and risotto every week and still wants a large fry pan for searing.
Heavy Bases for Long CookingThe straight-sided pieces in this set are built on InductoSeal, a heavy disk base with copper sealed inside. It spreads heat over a wide floor, which is what a braise or a batch of stock needs over several hours.
Clad Walls Where They CountThe fry pan and the saucier are clad in seven layers up to the rim, so their sloped walls heat with the base. In the saucier, that keeps a reducing sauce or a custard from catching on the sides.
Choosing a SetA cook who pan-fries more than braises may prefer the Atlantis 10-piece set, which has two fry pans. To start smaller, the Atlantis 3-piece set pairs a fry pan with a Dutch oven. Our Demeyere cookware guide compares Atlantis with the lighter Industry 5 collection. Learn More

The Atlantis 10-piece set equips a kitchen for daily cooking for four in Demeyere’s heaviest stainless collection, and its balance tilts toward frying and sautéing, with a pan for every size of portion.
Searing and SautéingThe two Proline fry pans are clad in seven layers from base to rim around an aluminum core, so they sear evenly to the edge. The straight-sided sauté pan takes over when a dish needs liquid, such as chicken braised in wine.
Simmering and BoilingUnder the saucepans and stockpot, a sealed copper-cored disk spreads the heat, so rice and slow-simmered stock do not scorch on the bottom. Every lid in the set is stainless steel.
Atlantis 10 or 9 Pieces?The Atlantis 9-piece set trades the second fry pan and small saucepan for a saucier and a large Dutch oven, which suits cooks who braise and make sauces. This set is the better match for a cook who pan-fries. For a lighter set, compare the Industry 5 10-piece set, and read our Demeyere cookware guide for the differences between collections.

The Atlantis 3-piece set is the smallest way into Demeyere’s heaviest stainless collection, and it pairs the two pieces that cover the widest range of cooking. One is a fry pan for searing and sautéing, and the other is a Dutch oven for soups and braises.
Two Constructions, Matched to the JobDemeyere builds each Atlantis piece for its shape. The fry pan is clad in seven layers all the way up its flared sides, so it sears evenly to the edge and handles a pan sauce. The Dutch oven sits on a sealed base with a copper disk, which spreads heat across its wide floor for browning meat before the liquid goes in. That base also allows controlled cooking at low settings, which suits long braises and gentle simmering and saves energy.
Who It SuitsThis set fits a cook replacing a worn-out pan and pot, or one testing Atlantis before buying more pieces. Customers ask us whether Atlantis is worth the extra weight. For hard searing and steady heat, yes; for a lighter set that costs less, look at the Industry 5 10-piece set. For a full Atlantis kitchen, the 9-piece set is the next step up; see our Demeyere cookware guide. 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
