really really good pans as I've said many times before. I still really enjoy using them even at almost 5 years.

this is two separate pieces that are bonded together that have the base and the upper shell and the marriage here is absolutely perfect
so cast doesn't absorb energy as quickly as atlantis atlantis really is amazing how fast
so using the cookware makes you a better cook so that's a big bold claim for me to to make but it just does
so that's the big big advantage of why you would spend money on atlantis and on proline is that it gives you that nice buffer things happen more slowly heat kind of moves through the pan up and down at a slower rate and you don't find all of a sudden you've gone from kind of browning to burning it just doesn't happen…
so the proline and the atlantis cookware from demeyer is my absolute favorite stainless steel cookware in the world and i'm going to tell you why

the atlantis line is totally different in the way that it's made and it's extraordinary so it doesn't really compare to anything else on the market
when you're climbing the quality ladder in stainless steel and you get to the top of the top when it comes to the atlantis cookware with the copper and the silver nothing else can compare to the results that you're gonna get
Demeyere Atlantis is the best of the best. Each piece is carefully crafted with the highest quality materials and a thoughtful design process.

After the water boiled, I took each pan off the heat and measured the water temperature after 10 minutes. Demeyere Atlantis retained the most heat, again thanks to its super thick construction.
Cites heat retention
To get a second read on heat retention, I heated each pan until the center reached 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, I quickly removed it from the heat and measured the temperature in the center of the pan after 5 and 10 minutes. While the All-Clad, Made In, and Hestan pans performed similarly, the Demeyere Atlantis pan…
Pans in the Atlantis collection have a 3-layer steel bottom that they call TriplInduct. Since steel is magnetic and ultra-durable, having three layers of steel at the bottom of each pan provides better efficiency on induction cooktops and ensures the cookware will never warp.

Most importantly, it was the only stainless steel pan that didn’t make any buzzing or clicking sounds during all of my testing.
The second point about warping is definitely true. This pan started completely flat and stayed that way after heating it.
Cites warp resistance
It's not a coincidence that the thicker, heavier pans I tested like Demeyere Atlantis, Fissler and Smithey, performed the best in my warping tests.
That brings me to the clear winner in the stainless steel category, Demeyere Atlantis.
I will say that the quality of these pans, the quality of the metal of these pans, are obviously very high. You can just tell by looking at them and feeling them.
Cites build quality, durability
With both collections, Demeyere welds their handles to the pan instead of attaching them with rivets, so the cooking surface is completely smooth. Rivets tend to collect grime and become discolored, so the rivetless design makes cleaning much easier.

Secondly, it makes the cookware 30 percent more efficient on induction cooktops. Induction cooktops only work with cookware that's made of magnetic materials. Steel is magnetic and since Atlantis pans have three layers of steel on the bottom, they work faster and more efficiently on induction.
Both collections retain heat well but due to its additional layers, thickness, and sheer weight, the Atlantis collection absorbs and retains heat better than Industry.
I repeated this test with several other pans and as you can see in the results Demeyere Atlantis retained heat better than every other pan after five minutes, and they tied with Made In after 10 minutes.
Atlantis cookware is more forgiving which makes it easier to cook with Because it's thicker and retains heat better, the temperature doesn't fluctuate as much while you're cooking and adding and removing ingredients. You won't burn your food if you accidentally turn the heat too high. It heats slowly and steadily.
Its thick 7-ply construction allows it to heat evenly and retain heat better than almost any other cookware.
Another downside to Demeyere’s thick construction is that it takes a while to heat up. Compared to 19 other pans, the Demeyere Atlantis took the longest to boil two cups of water.

It's also the best performer on induction cooktops. It heats evenly with no warping or buzzing.

I mentioned that there are three stainless steel cookware brands that I recommend if money is not a factor. And the first one is Demeyere Atlantis.
this saute pan is just too small for saute pans, all right? So, the useful the useful volume in this pan is only about 2.5 L, and that's very very limited considering the type of pan that it is.
Cites size and capacity (against), stovetop compatibility (against)
I don't recommend this version because with this pan, well, it def- with this pan, it's very hard to maneuver, okay?
a couple more reasons not to buy these Atlantis pots. So, the first two reasons are the same, so they are thick and they are sorry, they are heavy, and they are expensive. So, those are valid reasons to not buy these pots.
Two judgements rest on this sentence:
for these type of pots, most of the time you don't need something this expensive and this premium, right? So, if all you're going to do is to do things like making stock, soup, boiling pasta, boiling cooking a bit of oatmeal, boiling some eggs, you can get a cheap IKEA pot, and it'll do the job just fine
the the weight of the thinness of the top of this is perfect because you don't need to be adding extra weight adding thickness to the wall of a piece of atlantis wouldn't benefit you except added weight which is just a negative at this point

Because of the extra layers in Atlantis pans, they are significantly thicker and heavier than Industry pans. Atlantis fry pans might be the thickest and heaviest pans I've ever reviewed. They feel more like a cast iron skillet than a stainless steel pan.

After about 3 months of using the Demeyere Atlantis pan, I noticed the handle was loose. As I examined what was going on, I lifted the pan and the handle completely snapped off. I was honestly shocked this happened, especially given how expensive these pans are. I was also very lucky it didn't break while I was…

it's because the bottom diameter is quite large, okay? So, these have a full 28 cm on the bottom, and you really should make sure you got a hob that's wide enough for these pans, otherwise you're not really getting the best out of them.
Cites stovetop compatibility (against)
if your cooktop allows, you should maybe just go to the 28 cm saute pan. So, that's a much much more practical piece.
you're much better off just getting the 24 cm casserole, which is the taller version, not as tall as this one, but it's cut off, you know, in the middle at about there.
the next one that I don't think is worth buying is the 24 cm Atlantis saute pan.
let's just take a brief moment to appreciate how shiny these pans still are. I did give them a clean with Bar Keepers Friend a couple of days ago. Um so, that's why they look nice and shiny. And the thing about these pans is that if you clean them regularly with something like Bar Keepers Friend, they will always look…

Atlantis is Demeyere's most premium cookware collection and it's priced accordingly. The cost varies by piece and where you buy, but prices for Atlantis cookware typically range between 30 and 50 percent more expensive than Industry.

Both collections have Y-shaped handles that stay cool while you're cooking on the stove, but the actual shape and the finish is different.
The handles on the Atlantis collection are angled higher which keeps your hand further away from the heat and also makes it a little easier to tip and rotate the pan.
Both collections are made with an 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface. This type of steel contains 18% chromium and 10% nickel, which gives it its shine and makes it extremely resistant to staining, rust, and corrosion.

Both collections come with a 30-year warranty covering defects in materials and craftsmanship.
I mentioned briefly that cookware in the Atlantis collection has a three-layer bottom. Demeyer calls this TriplInduc. It's only available with the Atlantis collection and it provides two benefits. First, it makes the cookware more durable and ensures that it will stay perfectly flat and never warp.
Lastly, pans in the Atlantis and Industry collections are rivetless, which means the cooking surface is uninterrupted and easy to clean. Instead of rivets, the handles are welded to the sides. Rivets collect grease and are difficult to keep clean over time, so this is a major benefit.

In terms of actual cooking, it has slightly better non-stick properties than a typical stainless steel pan. But you still need to preheat the pan and add some oil or butter to prevent sticking.

One thing I noticed is that the knife was much quieter on the Hestan pan compared to the others. The surface is so smooth and hard that the knife almost glides across it.
Since the surface is incredibly hard and highly polished, it's slicker and more scratch resistant than standard stainless steel.
The egg stuck badly to the Hestan, Heritage Steel, and Taima pans.
The pancakes stuck a little bit to the Hestan pan, but not much.
Hestan had a very tiny spot that stuck, but it was barely noticeable.
First, titanium is bonded to the surface, which makes it harder and more resistant to scratches. I tested it with the rough side of a sponge and a knife and although it’s not scratch-proof, it resists damage far better than standard stainless steel.
Cites scratch resistance
Titanium ions are vaporized in a vacuum chamber and bonded to the steel surface, creating a layer that's four times harder than typical stainless steel. You can see and feel the difference immediately.
Cites base and rim, handle, scratch resistance, size and capacity
It's also more resistant to scratches than standard stainless steel.
It has a wide cooking surface, flush rivets, and sealed rims.
This NanoBond 12.5-inch frying pan is currently listed on Hestan's website for $450. For comparison, Demeyere's most expensive pan, the 12.5-inch pan in the Atlantis collection, is $350, and All-Clad's most expensive pan, the 12-inch Copper Core frying pan, is $365, but it's often on sale for much less.
Cites price (against)
You could buy seven Goldilocks or Tramontina 12-inch pans for the price of one Hestan NanoBond.
Most stainless steel pans develop micro-scratches when you scrub them with the rough side of a sponge, but not with these pans.

Number three is Hestan NanoBond.
for those of you who hate rainbow stains this coating is prone to that just like regular stainless steel

my only consistent gripe attestant besides the price tag has been the Aesthetics which tends towards a kind of corny pseudo-french visual language especially on the pot and lid handles where they add a kind of awkward bulge so they can emboss the Brand's very ornate logo Sarah and I spent a few years in Napa Valley…
but my totic test did fully stick and I had to be pretty intentional to keep my fish moving freely it's just a bit more like a handrail than an escalator it'll help you get where you're going it's just not going to do the work for you
Cites ease of cleaning (against), non-stick surface (against)
the only time we've even had to apply any elbow grease was when one piece of the Todd egg stuck on due to that super hard coating
the results on the hestan weren't great um sometimes getting the leading hose effect and getting a non-thick pan off of a tripod can be more difficult and that is just kind of how it goes with pants that are thinner um they can be harder to regulate kind of a a medium temperature of cooking if you need to be a little…

so you know the the egg test I'm thinking technically because of being a tri-clad is where we weren't getting them I think so yeah um you know I don't think it's a learned thing I think we would still struggle I think probably like one out of five times you'd get it perfect another time you get a little bit of…
The base warped slightly, and it made loud buzzing and pulsing noises throughout my testing.

Hestan NanoBond is the most expensive collection I tested, but the surface is coated with titanium ions, which make it extremely hard, smooth, and scratch-resistant.

For most home cooks, these benefits are overkill.
Although the price is outrageously high, this pan has 2 unique benefits.
Cites price (against)
The NanoBond, ProBond, and CopperBond pans are great for searing and browning, and the ProBond TITUM pan is ideal for eggs and anything prone
They're angled upward with a groove on top, a curved bottom that fits nicely in your palm, and a bump to warn you when your hand is getting too close to the pan. Rounded handles can slip and rotate when your hand is wet or you're wearing an oven mitt. And handles with a deep groove like All-Clad can dig into your hand…

These pans can't compete with Demeyere and Fissler on heat retention, but they're a step above your typical stainless steel cookware with flush rivets, sealed rims, and a scratch-resistant, titanium-infused surface.
Cites build quality, heat retention (against)
so I don't dislike the hestan yeah I think it's a fine pan yeah I don't know if it would be worth the money yeah that's the thing for me too because it is titanium and I'm sure there's some cost that goes in there and they hold the patent for it so I'm assuming they can charge essentially whatever similar to like new…

so same thing I think like I said last time I think it was more of a temperature thing because this guy is starting to lift off quite easily oh yeah for sure

and then these two are actually pretty comparable I have to say even with a smaller pan these two actually look pretty similar all clad in the Heston with the demire kind of in the lead there
and here's our Heston nanobond and I was saying as well that this guy I would say is actually comparable if actually at the end maybe actually even a little bit nicer in terms of evenness of cooking then the allclad
honestly they all they're all great pants they all did a great job for me the the Far and Away lead is this guy um but for just a small eight inch pan I'm pretty pretty happy with this one too
that was interesting so you know good results from from the Nano Bond yeah um you know nothing Well above or different no not so much right per se
one thing I will say which is something that they do claim is that you can barely scratch this and I'll say I'm going like I'm not reefing on this guy with this fish bat but there is like no scratching on the surface whatsoever which I realize when it comes to actually cooking it has nothing to do with how it's going…

again this is kind of one of their claim to fames is how titanium is quote unquote stronger but after cleaning that with a brush and everything it's almost brand new looking still like that still has that Sheen that kind of gunmetal thing you get is from that titanium as opposed to like a more silvery looking…
and this guy is actually sticking a little bit more than I would expect which is interesting

and then this was our Heston so you can see that's probably where the most residue actually is so that is coming off
so yeah it looks like the Hester didn't stand up as well as these two guys
you still seem to be getting empty a little bit of stick still yeah a little bit
we're just gonna give this a quick little clip but still like still not as good uh I would say even so it took a little bit more finance a little bit more finickiness and that that's kind of what you usually expect out of a D3 right oh sorry out of a tripod yeah for sure
somebody's coming in to look for a quote nonstick piece of cookware. I always want to invite them into a conversation about Nano Bond.

The second benefit is that because the surface is so hard and non-porous, it’s ultra-smooth. So you get slightly better non-stick properties than a typical steel pan.
Cites non-stick surface, surface finish
The surface has a distinct gray blue color and an almost silky-like feel.

Another thing you should know before buying Hestan is that after a few uses, they won't look as sparkling and shiny as they do when you take them out of the box. Because NanoBond pans have a slick, polished finish, fingerprints and smudges are very noticeable. The brushed finish on ProBond pans does a better job…
Cites appearance (against), surface finish (against)
Another thing about the NanoBond pan is that after you cook with it once or twice, especially if you cook on high heat, you may notice rainbow stains like this. These stains are ugly, but they don't affect performance
All that said, there’s one thing I really don’t like about these handles. And that’s this large hanging loop at the end. It’s nice to be able to hang the pan from a hook, but the hole is unnecessarily large. This big opening, combined with the thinness of the handle, makes it uncomfortable to hold at the end. There's…

But if you want your pans to look impeccable for years, NanoBond makes that much more possible.

but that being said though like it is a great pan is if it was my money and you could go for either this guy or this guy and they're sorry talking about the Atlantis Pro Line the Atlantis pro line or the Heston nanobond yeah um what we were talking about they're pretty comparative in price um both made in Europe both…

he did like the weight of it comparatively you didn't like the way yeah I'm actually at a tripod yeah even as a tri-fly like I was saying that this small smaller eight inch pan is a similar weight to the All-Clad D5 which is technically a five plot so just in that too is saying something

When we put that titanium surface down on top of the stainless steel, we end up with a glass-like surface.

That smoothness also makes it slightly less sticky with eggs.

The knife made a significant gouge in the ProBond pan. It also scratched the NanoBond pan but the damage wasn't as bad.
I repeated this test on the bottom of the pan, and the results were the same - The ProBond scratch was significant, and the NanoBond scratch was noticeable but not as deep.
