Demeyere Industry 5-Ply 9.5" Stainless Steel Fry Pan
Our Industry 5-Ply 9.5 inch fry pan brings professional-grade engineering to your home kitchen. Constructed with five alternating layers of stainless steel and aluminum, this pan delivers exceptional heat distribution and retention across the entire cooking surface.
We designed this fry pan with our proprietary Silvinox surface treatment, which keeps stainless steel looking silver-white even after high-heat use. The 9.5-inch diameter handles everything from morning eggs to seared proteins, while the stay-cool stainless steel handle provides secure control during stovetop-to-oven cooking.
- Five-layer construction with aluminum core bonded between stainless steel layers
- Silvinox surface treatment maintains silver-white finish and simplifies cleaning
- TriplInduc base technology delivers flat, warp-resistant contact on all cooktops including induction
- Welded, fully sealed rim prevents bacterial buildup and ensures lifetime durability
- Rivetless interior provides smooth cooking surface without food traps
Five-Layer Construction & Silvinox Technology
The demeyere industry 5 9.5 inch fry pan features our signature five-ply construction that bonds three layers of 18/10 stainless steel with two aluminum alloy cores. This alternating-layer design eliminates hot spots by spreading heat evenly from edge to edge, so proteins brown uniformly and delicate sauces never scorch in one spot while staying cool in another.
Silvinox Surface Treatment
We apply our proprietary Silvinox electrochemical treatment to every Industry 5 pan, removing impurities from the stainless steel surface. This process keeps your pan looking showroom-new even after years of high-heat searing and acidic ingredient contact. The treatment also enhances the material’s natural resistance to fingerprints, discoloration, and calcium buildup from hard water.
TriplInduc Flat Base Technology
Our TriplInduc base technology addresses the most common fry pan failure: warping. We machine a seven-millimeter-thick base onto each Industry 5 pan, then apply a unique alloy pattern that controls expansion during heating. The result is a cooking surface that stays perfectly flat on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops through thousands of heat cycles.
The demeyere industry 5 9.5 inch diameter delivers optimal contact with most burner sizes, maximizing energy efficiency and heat transfer. Induction cooktop owners will notice instant magnetic response across the entire base, not just the center circle found in cheaper tri-ply pans.
Rivetless Interior & Stay-Cool Handle
Unlike traditional fry pans with exposed rivets that trap food particles and complicate cleaning, we weld the handle to the Industry 5-Ply 9.5″ pan’s exterior. The interior cooking surface remains completely smooth from rim to center, with no crevices for sauce or grease to hide.
The ergonomic stainless steel handle features a hollow-core design that insulates your grip during stovetop cooking. While the handle will eventually conduct heat during extended use or oven cooking above 350°F, it stays comfortably cool for typical stovetop tasks. We designed the handle length and angle to balance the pan’s weight when loaded with ingredients, reducing wrist fatigue during tossing and flipping.

Questions About the Industry 5-Ply 9.5" Fry Pan
Our Industry 5-Ply construction uses five alternating layers—three stainless steel layers with two aluminum cores—instead of the three-layer design found in typical tri-ply pans. This extra layering provides superior heat distribution and retention, eliminating hot spots more effectively.
We also include Silvinox surface treatment, TriplInduc flat-base technology, and fully welded rims that aren't standard on most tri-ply cookware. The rivetless interior and 30-year warranty further distinguish this pan from conventional stainless steel options.
Yes, the Industry 5-Ply fry pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Our TriplInduc base technology provides complete magnetic contact across the entire 9.5-inch cooking surface, not just a small center disc.
This means faster heating, better energy efficiency, and more even temperature distribution on induction burners. The pan also works perfectly on gas, electric coil, ceramic glass, and halogen cooktops.
Proper preheating is the key to preventing sticking. Place the empty pan over medium heat for two to three minutes, allowing the five-layer construction to come to temperature evenly. Test readiness by flicking a few water drops onto the surface—if they form rolling beads that dance across the pan, it's ready.
Add your cooking fat (oil or butter) and let it heat until shimmering but not smoking, then add your ingredients. Proteins will naturally release once a proper sear forms. Avoid moving food too early, and use medium rather than high heat for most cooking tasks.
The 9.5-inch Industry 5 fry pan comfortably handles two to three portions, making it ideal for couples or small families. It's perfect for cooking two chicken breasts, three to four eggs, or side dishes for four people.
For families of four or more, or if you frequently batch-cook, the 11-inch model provides more cooking surface. Many customers own both sizes—the 9.5-inch for daily meals and the larger pan for weekend entertaining or meal prep.
For daily cleaning, wash the pan with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, then dry immediately. The pan is dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing preserves the mirror finish longer.
For stuck-on food, deglaze the warm pan with water or wine, then use Bar Keeper's Friend with a non-abrasive scrubber. Rainbow heat tint or hard water spots can be removed with a paste of white vinegar and baking soda—let it sit for ten minutes, scrub gently, and rinse. These marks are cosmetic only and don't affect the Silvinox treatment's protective properties.
The hollow-core stainless steel handle stays cool during typical stovetop tasks up to about fifteen minutes. For extended cooking or when using high heat, the handle will gradually conduct warmth, though it remains significantly cooler than solid handles.
When using the pan in the oven (it's safe to 500°F), always use an oven mitt or towel. We designed the handle length and angle to balance the pan's weight and provide secure control even when wearing heat-resistant gloves.
Every Industry 5 pan includes our 30-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty reflects our confidence in the pan's welded construction, TriplInduc base, and five-layer bonding.
The warranty does not cover damage from misuse, such as thermal shock from cold water on a hot pan, or normal wear like scratches from metal utensils. We provide detailed care instructions with each pan to help you maintain optimal performance for decades.
