Demeyere Stainless Steel Cookware

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

A 2.25-quart saucepan is the size for a pot of rice for four or a pot of tomato sauce, and the Industry 5 version is light enough to lift and pour from with one hand.The pan is clad top to bottom around an aluminum core, so grains cook evenly against the walls and the floor. The rim is designed to pour without dripping, which helps when draining a little pasta water or decanting gravy into a boat at the table.Customers ask us whether this pan works on induction. It does, and Demeyere’s flat base keeps it steady on a glass cooktop too. For one or two people the 1.6-quart Industry 5 saucepan is the handier size for warming milk or melting butter, and the 3.2-quart gives room for potatoes and vegetables. Demeyere makes the same size in its Atlantis collection, the Atlantis 2.25-quart saucepan. Our Demeyere cookware guide lays out the differences. Learn More

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. Our Demeyere cookware guide compares the collections. Learn More

Weeknight soups, a braise for four or a batch of beans all fit the Industry 5 5.5-quart Dutch oven, and it goes from the burner into the oven for long, slow cooking. Oversize loop handles on both sides leave room for thick oven mitts.Industry 5 differs from Demeyere’s Atlantis collection in how heat reaches the food. Atlantis pots get their heat from a heavy copper-cored disk in the base. Industry 5 pieces wrap five layers around an aluminum core that continues up through the walls. In a Dutch oven, those clad walls keep a stew simmering evenly from the bottom to the surface, and the pot is lighter to lift when full.Customers comparing the two collections hear the same advice from us. Cooks who sear hard and value heat retention do best with the Atlantis 5.5-quart Dutch oven; cooks who want a lighter, less expensive pot do best with this one. For stock and pasta, the Industry 5 8.5-quart stock pot shares this pot’s diameter and lid size. Read more in our Demeyere cookware guide. Learn More

The 3.2-quart Atlantis saucepan is the largest of Demeyere’s Atlantis saucepans, a size for boiling potatoes, blanching green beans or cooking rice for six. At about 8 inches across and 4 inches deep, it holds enough to feed a family and still fits a medium burner.The InductoSeal base hermetically seals a copper core in stainless steel, which Demeyere says expands the heat-conducting surface by up to 33 percent for faster, more even cooking. The copper levels out hot spots on the bottom of the pan, which helps when a tomato sauce or a pot of grits needs a long, low simmer without scorching. The base keeps its shape on a hot induction zone, and the rolled rim pours cleanly into a colander or a serving bowl.Customers ask us whether salt damages stainless steel. Salt added to cold water can sit undissolved on the bottom and leave small pits, so Demeyere advises adding it once the water boils. For smaller batches, the 2.25-quart saucepan is easier to handle, and the 8.5-quart stockpot takes over for a full box of pasta.
