DEMEYERE 41516 Lid, Silver, 16cm

I was expecting the pot to arrive on the 19th but it actually came 3 days early! In my humble opinion, this is the best cookware you can buy! Sturdy stainless steel with a layered bottom for even cooking — it is practically non-stick! I have the soup pot, 2 frying pans, a larger sauce pan and now the smaller one. I use it every day. My everyday cookware collection is now complete!

I'm almost seventy y o, and this is the best saucepan I've ever had!

Has long been a fan of Demeyere with several products from them. This time around though I got a pot and I am a bit disappointed. The welding from the handle is not flush with the pot creating an ugly gap that debris could get in, also left a weld spot on the inside. I expected more from the well respected brand and expensive product that I paid full price for.

Demeyere Atlantis is fantastic on my induction cooktop. I have had this pan for almost 2 years, and it has been a pleasure to own. It is bottom heavy due to the copper in the bottom. The amount of copper is substantial, and copper is heavy. However, copper makes the pan even and quick to heat. I also have thick aluminum disc cookware (>4mm) in a similar size; this pan is faster and at least as even heating. The pan heats all the way to the edges of the pan due to the complete coverage of the disc bottom. It has a flat bottom, which is super important on glass cooktops. Excellent contact with the cooktop; no warping. The lack of rivets and the Silvinox treatment really do make it easier to keep clean. I use bar keeper's friend if there any gunk that's harder to remove. The SS looks perfect after this treatment. Use wood or silicone-coated utensils if you want to avoid superficial scratches in the pan's surface. Gentle scrubbies only. Expensive but worth it. Demeyere is a great brand. *** Update 2023 Still going strong. I got a 4qt sauce pot as my second saucepan/pot size. The 2-handled pan is easier for me to handle for that volume. I believe the shape is the same, but the pan floor is a bit wider (~1in) than the 3qt saucepan.

I just love this saucepan. It is everything a saucepan could be: heats evenly; cleans up easily in the dishwasher; does not have any rivets etc. on the inside to trap food; has smooth finish to release food; and looks really good. This pan will heat the most delicate soup or sauce without any hot spots. It has a good feel with some weight to give that nice even heat. I don't find it heavy; it just has the feel of a very well made item. I have a Cuisinart pan I bought a year or two ago to do the same job and it drove me crazy--always forming hot spots and I had to keep it on almost the lowest heat and stir almost constantly--so much for Cuisinart's sandwich construction. This Demeyer saucepan is the real deal. I bought it from "We Too Discount Biz" at a substantial savings over the Amazon price and it arrived very quickly and in perfect condition.
