Demeyere Industry 5 9.5-inch Stainless Steel Fry Pan

For one stainless fry pan to cover weeknight dinners for two, the Industry 5 9.5-inch is a sensible size. Its 7-inch flat base holds two chicken thighs skin side down or a pair of burgers, and the flared sides let a spatula slide under food at the edge.

The pan is fully clad, meaning its five layers and aluminum core run up the walls as well as across the base. A TriplInduc base designed for induction sits underneath, and Demeyere engineers it to resist warping under heat. The handle is welded with no rivets, which removes the usual place for carbonized grease and bacteria to build up, and the smoothly curved interior makes whisking and wiping simple. A folded, dripless rim gives clean transfers of sauces and fat. The pan has enough thermal mass to hold its heat without the wrist fatigue of heavy cast iron, a balance suited to tossing pasta or flipping omelets on a busy line.

Set beside the Atlantis Proline 9.4-inch, this pan is about a quarter lighter, which makes a difference when you tilt it to baste or pour off fat. Atlantis holds heat a little longer for a hard sear; Industry 5 is quicker to pick up and move. It is heavier and holds heat more steadily than an All-Clad D3 pan without the weight of Atlantis, which makes it a practical middle ground for daily professional use. Need more room? The Industry 5 11-inch serves four, and the 8-inch is the egg pan of the collection. Read our Demeyere cookware guide for a full comparison of the 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.
