What customers say
This premium fry pan earns high praise for its superior heat performance, thanks to the 5-ply construction ensuring incredibly even heat distribution and retention, perfect for searing. Users value the durable build and comfortable handle, viewing it as a lifetime investment. The unique Nanotouch surface improves food release over standard stainless steel when proper technique is used, though it is not a true nonstick coating. While the initial cost is high, serious cooks feel the exceptional Belgian quality justifies the expense. Success requires mastering stainless steel cooking methods, as novice users may face a learning curve with the textured surface.
Know before you buy
Silvinox is a proprietary electrochemical treatment that removes impurities from the stainless steel. It prevents discoloration, makes the pan easier to clean, and ensures the surface maintains its bright, silver-white finish even after years of heavy use.
Yes, the Demeyere Industry 5 is fully compatible with all heat sources, including induction. Its 5-ply construction and flat, warp-resistant base are specifically engineered to provide efficient, even heat distribution on induction surfaces.
The ergonomic stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool during standard stovetop cooking. However, if you are using the pan in the oven or over a high flame for an extended period, you should use oven mitts as the metal will eventually conduct heat.
Yes, this pan is dishwasher safe. Because of the Silvinox finish, it resists the dulling and staining that often occur with standard stainless steel after repeated dishwasher cycles.
The 5-ply construction extends from the base all the way up the sides of the pan. This ensures that heat is distributed evenly across the entire cooking surface, preventing hot spots and allowing for consistent searing and browning.
This skillet is oven safe up to 500°F. This makes it an excellent choice for recipes that require starting on the stovetop and finishing in the oven.
