Demeyere Atlantis 5.5-Quart Stainless Steel Dutch Oven with Lid

The 5.5-quart Atlantis Dutch oven is the pot for a pot roast for four, a batch of chili or a braise that starts on the burner and finishes in the oven. It also bakes casseroles and sourdough rounds, and on the stovetop it handles side dishes such as steamed vegetables, rice and beans. Demeyere also sells it in Europe as a casserole, which is why it turns up under that name and as a saucepot.

Heat enters through a thick, sealed base that holds a copper disk, so the whole floor of the pot browns evenly when you sear meat before adding liquid. Because the base stays flat as it heats, it sits evenly on an induction or glass cooktop, and customers who have just switched to induction can use it from the first day.

This size takes a chuck roast or a whole chicken cut into pieces for a family of four. For holiday batches and stock, step up to the 8.9-quart Atlantis Dutch oven; for pasta and tall stocks, the 8.5-quart stockpot is narrower and deeper. Cooks who want a lighter pot can compare the Industry 5 5.5-quart Dutch oven, and our Demeyere cookware guide covers both collections in detail.

    Before First Use

    Remove the labels and packaging, using a little acetone to lift any adhesive. Wash in warm water with a little dish soap, rinse and dry thoroughly.


    Tips for Best Results

    • Cook over medium heat. Demeyere notes that 20 to 30 percent below the burner’s maximum is enough for frying.
    • To keep food from sticking, preheat the pan, add the fat, and lower the heat a level or two once butter stops foaming or oil begins to shimmer. Wait about 10 seconds, then add the food and let it release before turning it.
    • On induction, use a zone close to the size of the base and save the booster setting for boiling water. On gas, keep the flame under the base.
    • Add salt to water only after it boils, since undissolved salt can leave small pits in stainless steel.
    • The handles stay cool on the stovetop, but they get hot in the oven. Use a pot holder or oven mitt.

    Care

    Let the pan cool before washing. Use warm water, dish soap and a soft sponge or brush; never steel wool, abrasive powders or bleach. Soak burnt-on food in warm soapy water, overnight if needed. White spots or a rainbow tint come from minerals in the water and wipe away with a splash of vinegar. Demeyere lists Atlantis as dishwasher safe but recommends washing by hand for regular use. Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water.
