7-Ply Stainless Steel Construction
The Demeyere Atlantis Proline fry pan features our most advanced 7-ply construction, extending from the base all the way up the sides to the rim. This full-clad design eliminates hot spots and ensures that heat spreads evenly across the entire cooking surface, giving you consistent results whether you’re searing a steak in the center or sautéing vegetables along the edges.
Each layer serves a specific purpose: the exterior 18/10 stainless steel provides durability and compatibility with induction cooktops, while the pure aluminum core layers conduct heat rapidly and efficiently. The interior cooking surface receives our proprietary Silvinox treatment, which removes impurities from the stainless steel to create a brilliantly white finish that resists fingerprints, staining, and discoloration. This treatment is applied through an electrochemical process that’s both environmentally friendly and remarkably effective at maintaining the pan’s aesthetic appeal through years of heavy use.
Cooking Surface & Capacity
With a 12.6-inch diameter, this fry pan offers one of the most versatile cooking surfaces in our lineup. The generous width accommodates four chicken breasts side-by-side or enough vegetables for a family of six, while the gently sloped sides make tossing and flipping ingredients effortless.
The interior features a satin finish that provides an ideal cooking surface for developing fond—those flavorful browned bits that form the foundation of pan sauces. Unlike nonstick surfaces, this stainless steel construction allows proteins to achieve a proper sear with deep caramelization. The 2.5-inch depth prevents splattering during high-heat cooking while still allowing moisture to escape for optimal browning.
Handle Design & Oven Compatibility
The demeyere atlantis proline fry pan features welded stainless steel handles that are permanently secured to the pan body—no rivets that collect food particles or create cleaning challenges. These handles stay remarkably cool during stovetop cooking thanks to their hollow design and the way they’re welded away from the heat-conducting sidewalls.
The ergonomic shape provides a secure, comfortable grip whether you’re using one hand or two, and the polished finish matches the pan’s professional aesthetic. Because there are no plastic or silicone components, you can confidently transfer this pan from stovetop to oven at temperatures up to 500°F.

Questions About Your Atlantis Proline Fry Pan
The Demeyere Atlantis Proline features 7-ply construction that extends from the base all the way up the sides to the rim, whereas most stainless pans use 3-ply or have cladding only on the base. This full-clad design eliminates hot spots and provides superior heat distribution across the entire cooking surface.
Additionally, our proprietary Silvinox surface treatment creates a brilliantly white finish that resists staining, fingerprints, and discoloration far better than untreated stainless steel. The welded handles stay cooler during cooking and eliminate rivets that collect food particles.
Yes, the demeyere atlantis proline fry pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops and features our ControlInduc technology for optimal performance. The base includes a thick magnetic stainless steel layer that works with all induction systems, including those with automatic pan detection.
The perfectly flat base maintains full contact with the cooktop surface as the metal expands during heating, ensuring energy-efficient heat transfer and rapid temperature response.
Proper preheating is key to cooking with stainless steel successfully. Heat the pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then add your cooking fat (oil or butter). When the oil shimmers or butter foams, the pan is ready for cooking.
For proteins like fish or chicken, let them cook undisturbed until they naturally release from the surface—they'll tell you when they're ready to flip. The 7-ply construction of the Atlantis Proline maintains even temperature across the entire surface, which helps prevent sticking compared to thinner pans with hot spots.
The 12.6-inch diameter offers versatility for both everyday meals and larger cooking projects. It comfortably fits four chicken breasts or pork chops side-by-side, sautés vegetables for a family of six, and provides enough room to toss ingredients without spilling.
For smaller households or tasks like frying a couple of eggs, you might prefer the 11-inch version. However, many home cooks find that having the extra space prevents overcrowding, which is essential for proper browning and searing.
The Silvinox surface treatment makes maintenance remarkably easy. For everyday cleaning, simply hand wash with warm soapy water after the pan cools, then dry thoroughly. The treatment naturally resists water spots and fingerprints, so the pan maintains its appearance with minimal effort.
For stubborn stuck-on food, simmer water with a small amount of dish soap in the pan, then use a non-abrasive scrubbing pad. If you notice discoloration from high-heat cooking, restore the finish with stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. While the pan is dishwasher-safe, hand washing helps preserve the brilliant silvery-white finish over the long term.
The Atlantis Proline fry pan is oven-safe to 500°F (260°C), including use under the broiler. The welded stainless steel handles contain no plastic, silicone, or other heat-sensitive materials, so you can confidently transfer the pan from stovetop to oven.
This temperature tolerance supports techniques like starting a sear on the stovetop and finishing a thick steak in the oven, or browning gratins under the broiler. Always use oven mitts when handling the pan after oven use, as the handles will be hot.
The demeyere atlantis proline fry pan does not include a lid, as fry pans are typically used for cooking methods that benefit from moisture evaporation. However, we offer a separately available 12.6-inch tempered glass lid that fits this pan perfectly if you need to cover foods during cooking or want to use the pan for braising or simmering.
The lid features a stainless steel rim and allows you to monitor cooking progress without lifting, which helps maintain temperature and moisture levels for dishes that benefit from covered cooking.
