Fry Pans

A 7.9-inch pan is the size for two fried eggs, a single omelet or a handful of toasted pine nuts, and Demeyere gives its smallest Atlantis Proline fry pan the same construction as the large ones. Seven layers of metal, built around an aluminum core, extend from the center of the base up through the walls, so the sides heat along with the floor and a pan sauce does not scorch at the edges. The base is engineered to stay flat and resist warping even over high heat, and Demeyere says its TriplInduc technology makes the pan up to 30 percent more efficient on induction. A sealed pouring rim prevents drips, and the Silvinox finish helps the stainless steel keep its appearance and resist fingerprints.Customers ask us which fry pan size to buy, and the useful number is the flat base, since that is the area that actually cooks. This pan’s base is about 5.5 inches across, which fits two eggs or one small fillet. For a family breakfast, the 9.4-inch Proline gives you a 7-inch base. Eggs release from stainless steel once the pan is properly preheated, and the method is in the tips below.Proline pans sit at the heavy end of Demeyere’s range, and the extra metal is what holds a steady sear. The Industry 5 8-inch fry pan is the lighter choice at this size, built with five layers. Our Demeyere cookware guide compares the two collections in detail. 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
