Fry Pans
Engineered for high-heat searing and sautéing, the fry pan is an indispensable tool for developing flavor and texture. The broad, flat base ensures maximum contact with your heat source, delivering superior heat distribution for a flawless, edge-to-edge sear. This is critical for achieving a deep crust and developing that all-important fond—the flavorful foundation of any great pan sauce. The gently flared sides are engineered for technique: they promote rapid evaporation for perfect browning, allow for an effortless sauté toss, and grant uninhibited access for turning delicate proteins or plating with precision. This is the shape that offers ultimate control, making it the most indispensable pan on the line.

Demeyere Atlantis Proline 12.6-inch Stainless Steel Fry Pan with Helper Handle
The 12.6-inch Atlantis Proline is the pan for cooking in quantity, whether that means a cut-up chicken, six salmon fillets or fried rice for a crowd. A helper handle across from the main handle carries part of the load, which matters once a pan this size is full. Both stay-cool handles are welded in place with no rivets, which keeps the cooking surface smooth and easy to clean. We recommend this size for anyone who regularly cooks for four or more people.Its layered walls, built around an aluminum core, carry heat all the way up the flared sides, and the TriplInduc base resists warping and works especially efficiently on an induction burner. On a pan this broad, that even edge is what lets you use the whole surface. The flat base measures about 10.2 inches, and a burner much smaller than that heats the center and leaves an outer ring cooler, so Demeyere recommends a burner or induction zone close to the size of the base.For daily cooking for two or three, the 11-inch Proline does the same jobs with less to lift. The Industry 5 12.5-inch fry pan offers the same diameter in a lighter five-layer pan, also with a helper handle. Both collections are compared in our Demeyere buying guide. Learn More$379.99 -
Demeyere Industry 5 12.5-inch Stainless Steel Fry Pan with Helper Handle
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.
