DEMEYERE5-Plus 11" Fry Pan Skillet with Glass Lid - 5-Ply Stainless Steel, Made in Belgium

Beautiful pan that cooks perfectly. I have a kitchen full of the classic All-Clad (tri-ply), a few All-Clad Copper, and a couple of select pieces from Demeyere Industry (5-ply). The tri-ply and 5-ply are similar in performance and thickness. Maybe the 5-ply is a touch thicker. I added a few Demeyere pieces for their specific shapes/sizes.I got this fry pan because I didn't want rivets (though it does feel like rivets will last a lifetime and are superior to these welded ones). I also got it for the glass lid because I like to see what's going on inside. This pan did not disappoint. I can anything in this pan... Fried or scrambled eggs, saute veggies, sear protein. I can make easy stuff like quesadillas or grilled cheese sandwiches for my kids. Clean up is a breeze. And the pan is easy to care for. A chainmail scrubber is a must for the more stubborn stuck on food bits.I tend to go for the American-made All-Clad. But I don't mind mixing in a few pieces of Demeyere here and there. It's quality cookware!!!

This is my first real pan. It is heavy. I'm a 5'9" male and this pan with a lid is heavy! There is no doubt the quality is substantial. The lid is typical glass but what makes it heavy is the solid steel handle. The handle is held on by a typical Phillips head so it can be tightened easily.The pan itself is awesome. It acts like stainless... It will stick if you don't oil stuff or wait for it to sear. But anyway, for real people... I saw a YouTube and it worked wonders for me. Just add water to your hot pan after use like you're making a pan sauce and scrape the bits off with a silicone or wood spatula. Cleaning is easy with this tip. Then clean the grease with dish soap and a scrubber.Demeyere makes some fine stuff. The solid steel lid handle was my first foresight into the fancy stuff. I know this is entry level for cookery but dang, it feels and cooks awesome. Also the lids are interchangeable with same size Demeyere it says in the manual but I haven't tried yet.

Couldn’t ask for a better product. I’m new to stainless steel after learning about how toxic non stick pans are but honestly I’m happy I made the switch. This is the best pan I’ve ever used. It’s heavy duty and cleans up easily. I researched a bunch on how to properly use this pan so I’ve had no issues whatsoever.

I was replacing a 25 year old SS 12 inch fry pan and finally broke down and bought a Demeyere. I am glad I did and so too will you be. Cooks wonderfully and better yet, it cleans up like a charm. Went back and bought more pieces. You really have to hunt for good pricing on this manufacturer now owned by Zwilling.

This is a great stainless-steel pan for everyday use. So far after a few dozen cooks the pan still looks as new. I always deglaze my pans and anytime I sear meat I usually make a pan sauce following. To me it's the easiest way clean and gets rid of any burnt-on food or stains. I've learned that it's best to let the pan heat up to temp, add a drizzle of olive oil and then place your food in. This closes up the pores in the pan and helps with making the surface more non-stick for the easiest clean up. My favorite design is of course the fact that there are no rivets to clean around. I'm not sure why all pans aren't made this way. It's nice when you can buy something in this day and age that offers both quality and craftsmanship especially with so many companies constantly trying to cut cost. It's obvious that Demeyere chose not to put their reputation on the line by following the crowd. Thank You!
