Demeyere Industry 5 1.6-Quart Stainless Steel Saucepan with Lid

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.

    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. Industry 5 is dishwasher safe, but its rim leaves the aluminum layer exposed, so Demeyere specifies a detergent that is safe for aluminum and recommends washing by hand for regular use. Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water.
