DEMEYEREAtlantis 11-Inch SAUTÉ Stainless Steel Fry Pan, 5.1 Quart with Auxiliary Handle, 4.2 Quart, Silver

Exactly as expected, superb quality and good price.

This design is supposed a fantastic compromise between cooking performance (almost like copper for responsiveness, even heat spread all the way to the edges and heat storage), non stickiness (not quite Teflon but beats other steel) and low maintenance (everything is sealed with stainless steel and unlike Teflon which breaks down at 200c this can go to 350).But sautee pan has to fit in the oven - and for ones with non removable handles manufacturer need to test them in most common ovens. It fails to fit into my rangemaster oven by just under an inch. I’m gutted, but other than that it’s superb.

The 4.2qt saute pan is extremely even heating on my 10.5" burner of my cooktop. It heats up pretty quickly on medium heat; I rarely if ever turn up the heat beyond medium. It holds an impressive amount of heat; when you throw in food, it sizzles and keeps on sizzling. I also have the 3qt saute;, which is equally impressive.I love the lack of rivets and the Silvinox finish. I have several Demeyere pans, and the finish is the same as the day I bought them. Other SS pans darken with use.Be aware this pan is heavy and large. It does not fit in my sink, so it's a bit of a pain to wash. Worth the effort however.

Best value for money. Better than copper.

GREAT PAN! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Love how fast and even this heats up. It goes great with my other demeyere Atlantis

I have two Demeyere John Pawson fry pans and they are absolutely the best in the world. This Pawson sauté pan is not. I knew it had a disk bottom and was not the same material on the sides, which Demeyere claims is better for the function of this pan, but unlike the fully clad fry pans, the pan feels flimsy. You can see the welds from the handles on the inside, and the handle actually flexes when it is picked up, and that is with nothing in it. I haven't used it yet, and I hope it performs as well as the fry pans. I was going to buy some Demeyere straight-sided sauce pans, and now I will not because they are of the same construction. Better function or not, for the money and for this type of pan, get an All-Clad copper core.
