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.

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.

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.

And hey, presto. That is a very loose egg on a stainless steel pan.
I'm getting a nice crispy edge all around that egg.
How's the underc carriage look? Yeah, it's actually very nice. Little bit of browning. You got a little bit of crisp. The crisp is really nice.
So, I didn't actually take the pan heat above medium at all. I was kind of like low to medium the whole way pretty much. So, this thing definitely retains heat very well indeed, I must say. Like, there's still tons of heat in this. And this has been off the heat for about almost 10 minutes. So that's really good.
Now, let's see how the pan handles the butter. You can see it's foaming. Perfect temperature.
But look at the quality of that boneette. That slightly nutty color and flavor. It's just basting and holding absolutely beautifully.
Yep, came off. No problem whatsoever.
Yep, that is forming nice and crispy.
Even layer as well. Quite uniform.
And your butter isn't burnt even on a low to medium heat, which is pretty impressive.

Fortunately, they offer a generous 45-day return policy so if you get it in the mail and you don't like it you can return it.
But the best part about Made In is that the prices are fair. It's not the most affordable brand, but for quality fully-clad stainless steel cookware that's made in the United States and Italy, it's an excellent value.

In the $100 to $200 range, Made In, All-Clad D3 Everyday, and Heritage Steel Eater Series are the safest long-term buys. I've used all three for years and they consistently perform great.

But the weight is good.
I wipe this out just to blot off some of the grease. That's what you got left. That's not bad.
Not much in the pan. As you can see, I've wiped it out.
And because it's got like a kind of satin finish, there's no slip on it. So, I've got a really good grip.
The sidewalls of the frying pans have too shallow of a slope. This design, plus the flared rims, makes it easy to slide food onto a plate but it also makes it easier to spill and splatter.

The rivets on the Made In pan I got years ago jet out further than most brands. It's hard to clean around the rivets so oil and food bits would often bake into the pan.
Still they don't offer flush rivets or rivetless options like several other brands.
I mentioned that I like the handle design but I need to call out the handle angle. Made In handles are almost even with the top of the pan. You can fit the pan in the oven with less space between racks but since the handle isn't angled upward like most, your hand is a little bit closer to the heat.
Also, there's a small space where the handle bends that's extremely difficult to clean unless you scrub it with a toothbrush.
The third feature is its brushed exterior. While I appreciate a shiny polished finish, I really like the matte look of Made In pants. They do a great job hiding fingerprints and smudges and it's a more modern look in my opinion.

Overall I love the design of Made In pans but I have one minor complaint.
Number one is the handle design. It's flat on the top and bottom so you have plenty of control when tilting but it's rounded and smooth on the sides so it's comfortable to hold.

Number two, the lid handle and helper handles are large. You can fit your entire hand around them for a firm grip.
Fortunately Made In made some updates and the rivets on the pans made today are much flatter.
It heats fast and evenly and once it's hot it maintains a consistent temperature.

And it can handle up to 800 degrees in the oven.
Based on my real-world testing, Made In lives up to the hype.
As the water heated up, tiny bubbles were uniform across the entire cooking surface, which indicates even heat distribution.
I've run this test with 20 other brands and Made In was the second fastest to boil the water, which is a good thing, but surprising considering the pan is relatively thick.
As you can see in the chart, Made In had the highest water temperature after 10 minutes.
The last feature I'll highlight is the large cooking surface. The diameter of the 12-inch fry pan's cooking surface is 9.5 inches. Most 12-inch pans are closer to 9 inches, so you get a little more flat space to cook.
and it has consistently performed really well in the several years I've owned it.

The Made In pan is listed as 12 in, but because of its wide flared rims, it actually measures 13 in from rim to rim. It also has the widest flat cooking surface of any pan I tested at 10 in.

there's also a reliability benefit if you were to weld a pan and handle together you can sometimes get a very strong bond but if that weld is done poorly you will never know that it's done poorly until the day comes where you have a giant pan full of hot food and the handle snaps right off in an instant and your food…
Cites handle
aluminum has about 1/3 the density of steel which means that your pan is going to be lighter easier to maneuver when you're cooking 12-in pan weighs about 3.2 lb which is reasonable for a stainless steel pan but is less than half the weight of a cast iron pan of a similar size

personally I think Maiden has made the right choice here they have found a balance that it makes it a joy to cook with every day
this pan has all around the surface rolled rims that stick out allowing you to pour liquids or slide delicate Foods off of the pan without fear of spills or leaks down the side of the pan wall
Maiden also uses flattened handles with subtle indents for better grip when you're tilting the pan or pouring something out of it and it also has smooth smooth Corners around the edge of the handle for better Comfort while you're cooking
this handle also has a Hol core which keeps it cool while cooking on the stove top and cuts down on extra weight
this type of Steel this 430 grade stainless steel is magnetic which allows you to use this pan on an induction cooktop
Cites dishwasher safe, heat resistance, induction compatible, maintenance, oven safe, safety, stovetop compatibility
in terms of setup and maintenance you can start using stainless steel pans right away without any of the pre-seasoning rituals that come with cast iron or carbon steel pans
this pan is also dishwasher safe it can go into the oven up to 800° F and it doesn't have any of the toxic Coatings that you might find on a non-stick pan
because this pan is oven safe up to 800° F you can seamlessly move between the stove top and the oven which is particularly helpful for something like searing a steak
you can use it in basically any setting that means gas stove electric coil ceramic induction and even the other
if you do happen to be cooking on a grill or over An Open Fire Maiden does recommend that you use their carbon steel pan I'll link it in the description that works up to 1200° f
They seem like they're going to last and they have a lifetime warranty, so I'm impressed with that.

So, the handle is supposed to be stay cool. Closer to here is definitely hot. you will burn yourself. But up here at the minute, it is definitely cooler. Um, I'm not sure after a long extended use if I would say that that is a really stay cool handle. So, that's one potential little ding there.
finally as a bonus this pan comes with the unpaid approval yes unpaid approval of several Michelin star chefs who use this pan in their rest restaurant every day because it is the best pan for the job

however stainless steel is not perfect and the most common criticism people bring up is that sometimes it's easy to get food stuck to the surface of a stainless steel pan and it's true that there is a learning curve to using stainless steel cookwar I've experienced this myself

the cooking surface of the 12-in pan is 9.5 in across which is slightly larger than most Maiden has some steeper walls giving it a larger cooking surface so you get a little extra food that you can cook on your pan
I don't mind having these two little protrusions and as you can see there's not a whole lot of food that has gotten stuck in or around that area
once you have mastered the art of preheating your pan before you put food on it you can confidently cook most foods without any fear of stuck on food
if you do happen to burn food on your pan you can always soak it you can toss it in the dishwasher and in really extreme cases I've always found that baking soda and vinegar gets the job done
So, I can see why they're used a lot in pro kitchens and for home use. Fantastic.

The handle looks a lot like the Heritage Steel Eater Series handle, but it gets a little wider as you move toward the end, which I like. The Heritage Steel handle is the same width throughout.

Like I'm coming from this which I've had forever which is a three ply but a similar weight to that. Honestly, this is lighter. So, I would say that these are lighter for sure.
