so as you spend more money on cookware stainless or cast iron the quality difference on how they cook starts to narrow to a point where these two pans that are two of the best quality pans in the world cook very very similarly they do a lot of the same sort of thing

really really good pans as I've said many times before. I still really enjoy using them even at almost 5 years.
but wherever you are in the world search it out get your hands on it try it out you know invest in one piece and i know you will not have any regrets

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

so proline is the frying pan line of the highest n line of cookware from de meyer it is a seven layer cookware which starts getting into like the upper upper end of all stainless steel cookware
they are expensive, right? Especially if you live outside the EU. For example, the price here in New Zealand just for this 24 cm is over $500, right? And that's quite frankly ludicrous.
Cites price (against)
with that 20 20 cm model, you are really not getting any value for your money, so I would stay away from that one.
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
so it starts to and actually really does behave more like cast iron than regular stainless steel that you're used to so using a proline pan will give you a lot of the same results of using cast iron which is extraordinary
Cites heat control

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…
the 20 cm Proline is built different, okay? So, the 24, 28, and 32 cm Proline are 4.8 mm thick, and that's why you want to buy Proline, right? That's the whole reason that you're buying a Proline. But the 20 cm Proline is only 3 mm thick, okay? So, it's basically like a Industry or Multiline with an with a Proline…
Cites build quality (against)
a 20 cm pan is just too small, right? It's too small to really be useful. It's barely enough to fry one egg or maybe a couple of sausages or a small piece of meat, and that's pretty much it.
Cites size and capacity (against), stovetop compatibility (against)
Firstly, ask yourself, do you really need something that big? Personally, I do not.
the bottom diameter of this pan is approximately 26 cm, so that's very large. And that's too big for most ceramic and induction flat tops.
let's quickly go through the three reasons why you should not buy the Proline, and which I've talked about before.
I don't recommend this one because first of all, a 20 cm pan is just too small, right?
it's it's wonderfully heavy for people that don't love heavy cookware it could be a bit of a problem
Two judgements rest on this sentence:

so it's really important before you buy a skillet from proline that you would try it feel it get it in your hand make sure if you buy from somebody online that you have a return policy that's really easy to deal with
so people that find cast iron is problematic for whatever reason they don't like candles they think it's dirty whatever you get the high end result of high-end cast iron from a stainless steel pan which is amazing

right here i have a demeyer pro line and this is from what they call the atlantis series this is a seven layer aluminum aluminum alloy stainless steel inside mount pan it is extraordinarily heavy for a stainless steel pan
Cites build quality, weight
these pans are not a whole lot different in weight this is a larger pan of course so it feels a little bit heavier but the weight quality of these are very very very similar
you may want something that responds faster to heat changes, okay? Because these are so thick and so heavy, they will respond slower than a pan that's built thinner and lighter.
Cites heat control (against)
The first of all is they are too heavy, okay? So, if they're too heavy, then you're not going to use them.
Cites weight (against)
personally, I think the concern with the handle is not really a valid reason to not buy these pans. That's only because the possibility of these handles falling off is really no higher than the possibility of any high-quality product being faulty, right?
Cites handle
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…
Cites appearance, maintenance
I really like the handle particularly on the pr line
Cites handle
these pieces are worth buying. I think they are worth buying. They are very use- useful pieces, but buy with caution.
I'm going to do a long-term 4 and 1/2 year review, in fact, almost 5 years review of these Demeyere Proline and Atlantis pans.
Owned 4 years
uh it's definitely a lot heavier than like a 5-ply or a 3-ply from a brand that everyone know called like all clad um it's it's a weighty cookware

Overall, these are two high-quality pans that are made in America. They're both durable, well-made, high performing, and will last a lifetime.

Because the handle on Titanium Series pans is rounded on the bottom, it can rotate in your hands when tilting and pouring. It's extra slippery when washing the pan, and your hands are wet and soapy.

the titanium series is putting all of its metaphorical eggs in the 316 TI basket and I'm not sure if that one upgrade is enough to overcome it's greater cost or its flaws
my biggest concern going in was that the aluminum layers in that five P mix are quite thin but in use it hasn't made a significant difference the pans are all responsive and comfortable to hold

to my surprise I think I would be hard pressed to find a difference in performance between these and lines like all clad D5 without significant scrutiny
the titanium series's handles feel like off the-shelf parts from mismatched lines the lid handles feel kind of colonial and the bulbous helper handles might go with them but the long handles kind of feel like the cheap showerhead handles from my first apartment back in the early 2000s

I haven't noticed pitting with either of these pans, but it's nice to know that Heritage Steel provides a little extra protection.
They both have flared rims for drip-free pouring.

that brings the titanium series to an initial cose score of 4.8 and eater series to an initial score of 6.2
the titanium series differentiates Itself by having an inner layer made of 316 TI stainless steel as opposed to the more traditional 304 standless Steel in the eater series that means that it's more resistant to a type of corrosion called salt pitting and is going to give it a bit longer of a lifespan

for care the titanium series gets an eight and eer gets a six
for materials titanium gets an eight and ear gets a five
The biggest difference between these two is really the handle design, so if you like the Eater Series flat handle, go with that; if you prefer a rounder, polished handle, go with the Titanium Series.
The Titanium Series handle is also a good design, but it's a little bit harder to grip on the end because it gets so thin.

It's also more likely to twist in your hand if your hand is really soapy or greasy.
I've already mentioned I'm not a fan of rounded, slippery handles like this, and I also dislike how it's wide in the middle, but tapers thin at the end. There's not much to grab onto unless you hold it right in the center.

Between you and me, I think the Titanium series is beautiful and the quality is slightly better than the Eater, but you're probably better off just saving a buck and getting the Eater series cookware as the performance is pretty much the same.

The first difference is the exterior finish: the Eater Series pan has a brushed finish, and the Titanium Series pan has a polished finish.
