About Demeyere Cookware

History of Demeyere

Demeyere Cookware began in 1908 in Belgium with cookware for professional chefs. Now, cookware from Demeyere is distributed throughout the world and is loved by both pros and home chefs. Demeyere has also been known for its engineering innovations, to meet difficult and diverse professional culinary challenges. Consequently Demeyere is the only cookware manufacturer in the world that uses a different manufacturing processes and designs, driven by requirements of diverse cooking methods.

Here’s an easy to use chart that gives you a quick view of the basic manufacturing and metals structure of Demeyere cookware:

Demeyere Innovations

Demeyere cookware is known for its innovative approach to cookware design and manufacturing. In the 1960’s Demeyere were pioneers in using an aluminum/stainless steel sandwich on the bottom of many types of their cookware. Recently, Demeyere developed innovative safety features – Inductoseal and TripleInduc, to ensure that every item in the Demeyere Atlantis cookware line is induction ready and provides the kind of cooking performance you demand.

Demeyere Inductoseal cookware contains 7 layers of metals to ensure consistent even heating:

Details on "What's inside"

The inside surface is 18/10 surgical stainless steel, next is a layer of silver. The third layer is a solid copper core (for both quick heating and heat retention), then another layer of silver and a final 3 layers of metal alloys. This 7 layer “sandwich” in Demeyere Atlantis sauté pans, stock pots, casseroles and straight sided sauté pans ensures your cookware will heat quickly and retain the temperature you require.

This “sandwich” technology is available in many other brands of quality cookware. What makes Demeyere cookware different is the innovative “Inductoseal. ” Demeyere Inductoseal is a fully welded cookware “capsule” which provides two additional benefits. First, you’ll never worry about water seeping into the layers of your Demeyere cookware or having this disc separate from the pan, because it is fully welded around the sides of the cookware. Second, Demeyere’s Inductoseal provides an extra measure of safety, in case of overheating. Cookware with the Demeyere Inductoseal is safe up to an amazing 1100 degrees F (600 degrees C). (Though at this high temperatures, food would quickly burn. ) You can have confidence in selecting Demeyere cookware, since you know Demeyere engineers have tested pans and pots at all temperatures.

Outside resistant to "wear and tear"

Another Demeyere innovation that is used on the Atlantis cookware line is specifically designed to make the exterior surfaces of Demeyer pans and pots resistant to the wear and tear of dishwashers. This Demyere-created Silvinox process removes impurities from the surgical stainless steel used in making Demeyere cookware sets, fry pans, sauté pans, sauteses, sautoirs, sauciers, stock pots and other Demeyere Atlantis specialty cookware pieces.

Control Induc for Pro Induc line

Demeyere also produced the first pans with the ControlInduc system. This Demeyere cookware innovation limits the maximum temperature to 485°F (250 degrees C) when using an induction cook top. Even at full power, this unique safety features helps to regulate temperature. Here’s how it works, Up to +/- 220°C/425°F, the Demeyere cookware with ControlInduc heats up as any other pan, but should the temperature increase beyond that level, the energy transmitted by the induction cooktop will gradually decrease to a range of 245°C/475°F and 250°C/485°F. Then, the energy will adjust depending on how much power is required to maintain the desired temperature. The ControlInduc also enables the Demeyere Pro Induc cookware used on an induction cooktop to adjust for heat that might be lost in the air.

Atlantis construction

Demeyere cookware also uses seven layers of alloys in the construction of Atlantis curved sided sauté pans, fry pans, sauciers, woks and conical sauté pans. The construction of the curve sided Demeyere cookware is different than straight sided Demeyere cookware, such as stock pots. For sauté and fry pans, all seven layers of metal alloys extend to the top edge of the pan. These Demeyere curve sided pans are fully clad. This ensures that heat is spread evenly and consistently across the entire surface of these Atlantis sauté, sauce and fry pans, including their curved sides. The layers include: 18/10 stainless steel on the inside, a layer of pure aluminum, then an aluminum alloy, another layer of pure aluminum and then a combination of three alloys.
