5-Ply Construction & Silvinox Technology
The Demeyere Intense fry pan features our advanced 5-ply construction that bonds alternating layers of stainless steel and aluminum throughout the entire pan body. Unlike base-only clad cookware, this full-body construction eliminates hot spots and delivers consistent temperature control from the center to the rim.
Our exclusive Silvinox surface treatment is an electrochemical process that enriches the stainless steel surface by removing impurities and iron particles. This creates a brilliant, silver-white finish that resists fingerprints, staining, and discoloration even after repeated exposure to high heat and acidic foods. The treatment makes cleanup effortless while maintaining the pan’s showroom appearance for decades.
Sizing & Capacity Options
We offer the Intense fry pan in multiple diameters to match your cooking needs. The 8-inch model is ideal for single servings and omelets, while the 9.5-inch size handles everyday tasks like sautéing vegetables or pan-frying chicken breasts.
Our 11-inch fry pan is the workhorse size for most home kitchens, accommodating four servings with room for proper browning. The 12.5-inch model suits larger families or batch cooking. All sizes feature the same full 5-ply construction and gently sloped sides that make flipping and tossing effortless.
Heat Compatibility & Oven Safety
The demeyere intense fry pan performs beautifully on every cooktop type including gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, and induction. The 7-layer TriplInduc base creates a powerful magnetic field that heats rapidly on induction while maintaining the even distribution that makes stainless steel ideal for precise temperature control.
Unlike nonstick pans with temperature limitations, the Intense is oven-safe to 500°F (260°C). Start a sear on the stovetop, then transfer directly to a hot oven to finish thick steaks or crisp skin on chicken thighs. The welded handle stays firmly attached under thermal stress and remains cool enough to grasp during stovetop cooking.

What people are saying
Common Questions About the Intense Fry Pan
Yes, the Intense fry pan features TriplInduc technology with a 7-layer magnetic base specifically engineered for induction cooking. The advanced base construction delivers 30% more induction power compared to standard tri-ply cookware, ensuring rapid heating and excellent energy efficiency.
The pan also works perfectly on gas, electric, halogen, and ceramic cooktops, making it truly universal for any kitchen setup.
Silvinox is our proprietary electrochemical treatment that removes iron and impurities from the stainless steel surface layer. This process creates a brilliant, silver-white finish that resists fingerprints, staining, and discoloration far better than untreated stainless steel.
The treatment makes the demeyere intense surface significantly easier to clean and maintains its showroom appearance even after years of high-heat cooking with acidic ingredients like tomatoes and wine. Unlike coatings that can wear off, Silvinox is a permanent modification to the steel itself.
Absolutely. The 18/10 stainless steel construction is designed to withstand metal spatulas, tongs, whisks, and other utensils without scratching or damage. The durable surface can handle the rigors of daily cooking including scraping fond from the bottom for deglazing.
Unlike nonstick coatings that require careful handling, your Intense pan gets better with use as it develops natural patina. Metal utensils won’t compromise the pan’s performance or the Silvinox finish.
The Intense fry pan is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C), including the welded stainless steel handle. This high temperature tolerance allows you to start dishes on the stovetop and finish them in a hot oven—perfect for thick steaks, chicken with crispy skin, or frittatas.
The full stainless steel construction contains no plastic, rubber, or composite materials that limit oven use. Always use an oven mitt when removing the pan, as the handle will be hot after oven exposure.
Proper preheating is key to success with stainless steel. Heat your Intense pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then add oil and let it heat until it shimmers. When cooking proteins, resist the urge to move or flip food too soon—let it develop a crust, and it will release naturally.
The superior heat distribution of 5-ply construction helps prevent sticking by maintaining consistent temperature across the entire cooking surface. With practice, you’ll achieve better browning and fond development than nonstick pans ever delivered.
Yes, all Intense cookware is dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand washing with hot soapy water to preserve the brilliant Silvinox finish longer. The treatment naturally resists staining and spotting, so most cleanup requires only a soft sponge.
For stuck-on food, deglaze the warm pan with liquid to release flavorful bits, then wash normally. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water will restore the original luster without harsh chemicals.
We offer the Intense fry pan in four diameters: 8-inch, 9.5-inch, 11-inch, and 12.5-inch. The 11-inch size is our most popular option for home kitchens, providing enough surface area for four servings while fitting comfortably on standard burners.
All sizes feature identical 5-ply construction, Silvinox treatment, and TriplInduc technology. Choose your size based on typical serving quantities and your cooktop burner dimensions for optimal heat transfer and efficiency.
