Demeyere Industry 5 8-inch Stainless Steel Fry Pan

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.

    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.
