Strata's handle is the best design of the three. It's thicker and more substantial than Anolon, and it's flat on top with a slight groove so it won't rotate in your hand. I also like the round hanging loop instead of the usual oval.

When comparing the 10-inch pans, all three are under three pounds, so they're easy to maneuver, but Misen has the widest cooking surface and the lowest walls. The difference is minor.

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.

Cites ease of cleaning, even heating, handle, heat control, heat retention, induction compatible, speed and efficiency

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.

and the thing that's great with the matte fur is that the handle can go into whatever temperature into the oven we want

it now is kind of kind of turned like a golden orange color because it's oxidizing a little bit so it's very obvious that that pan is being exposed the raw metal is being exposed to the air

and now the new matte fur come without anything on them they're really nice and easy to clean

but this guy is definitely you know non-stick on there there's no doubt about that right

so looking at these two pans we've got that this was the first time that I ever cooked on them you know that you know nothing's really stuck on here

this guy here behaved a lot better in being at a preheat of 250 previously like I was saying I was at 250 preheat it looked like I got too hot I went down it got too cool and it wasn't a great result this guy's looking quite perfect at the moment sitting at 250

so that's a really nice result right there doing its thing induction burner gets a little bit mad when you do that this guy here same thing so great result okay so definitely that factor of that first cook with a new pan you know seedling that surface definitely helps so our second result here is really great

right now there is zero spinning from this is the one that was abused this is the one that was not and they are not spinning whatsoever

okay so clean and cool cool zero spinning so that is great that cheap what I think is kind of crappy induction cooktop I have been able to make spinners out of other carbon steel with that cooktop um it does make spinners these guys didn't that's a tremendous result so super stoked

so you know Matt fur I would give you know a big big thumbs up I think they're tremendous I love that they have non-vivided handles onto the pans the shape of them of course are ideal I really enjoy that they the handles don't have epoxy on them and they can easily just go straight into the oven they're great

Number two, the lid handle and helper handles are large. You can fit your entire hand around them for a firm 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.

Fortunately Made In made some updates and the rivets on the pans made today are much flatter.

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.

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.

performance about Demeyere Industry tested it Demeyere Atlantis vs. Industry Cookware (Key Differences & How to Choose)

Cites ease of cleaning, handle, heat retention, heating speed

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.

The heat retention of the Demeyere industry pan wasn't as impressive but still above average.

Since industry pans are thinner, they heat faster but the temperature fluctuates quicker when you turn the knob or add ingredients. So you have to monitor your cooking more closely to make sure you don't overcook or burn something.

Although industry is one step down from Atlantis in terms of construction thickness and overall quality, it's still high-performing, premium cookware.

Another design feature that you get with Hestan is flat rivets. These are an upgrade over standard rivets that stick out and collect grease and grime, but the seams around them still can catch food, so they're not as easy to clean as pans without any rivets like Demeyere.

One more thing to note about the handles is their high angle. If you measure from the counter to the end of the handle, it's 4.5 inches high. Because of this, you need at least 5 inches of space to fit these pans between oven racks. While I like the higher-pitched handle because it gives you leverage when flipping or…

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.

If you're looking for lightweight pans, you'll be disappointed. Made In pans are built solid with thick heavy walls. The 12-inch fry pan weighs over three pounds.

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.
