Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction extends from the base all the way to the rim, ensuring even heat distribution across the entire surface. This prevents hot spots and provides excellent heat retention, which is essential for achieving a consistent sear on proteins.
Silvinox is a patented electrochemical treatment that removes impurities from the stainless steel. It keeps the pan looking like new by preventing discoloration and making it significantly easier to clean off fingerprints and stubborn food residue.
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. Because of the Silvinox treatment, the stainless steel is highly resistant to the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher, so it will maintain its appearance even with regular machine washing.
The pan weighs 4.20 lbs, which provides a sturdy, professional feel on the stovetop. To make maneuvering easier, it is equipped with a helper handle, allowing you to lift and transport the pan securely even when it is full.
Yes, the Demeyere Industry 5 is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Its flat base ensures maximum contact with the burner, which is critical for the efficiency and responsiveness required by induction heating.
The handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, if you are using the pan in the oven, the handles will become hot, so you must use oven mitts when removing it.
