All Demeyere series at a glance!

Anyone who has ever cooked with a Demeyere pan knows it: this is no ordinary pan. Each series has its own character, construction, and cooking style – and you can taste it. In this guide, we explain exactly what the differences are between Demeyere series such as the Proline 7, Silver 7, Industry 5, and more. This way, you can choose the pan that truly suits your cooking style.

What do the numbers in the Demeyere series mean?

The numbers in the name – 3, 5 or 7 – represent the number of layers the pan is constructed from. The more layers, the better the heat distribution and heat absorption. A 7-layer pan heats up faster and more evenly, allowing you to cook at a lower power setting and ensure food cooks evenly throughout. This means: less energy consumption and perfect cooking results without hot spots.

Ceraforce vs. Duraslide: Demeyere's non-stick coatings

Demeyere uses two types of non-stick coatings, each with their own advantages:

Ceraforce: PFAS-free and ceramic

Ceraforce is a ceramic non-stick coating made from sand. This coating is completely PFAS-free, durable, and heat-resistant. It provides a beautiful brown crust and is stronger than traditional coatings. Ideal for those who want to cook consciously without compromising on performance.

Duraslide: traditional non-stick coating

Duraslide does contain PFAS, but still offers excellent non-stick properties. Some chefs prefer this coating for very delicate dishes like eggs or fish. However, most users today choose Ceraforce for health and sustainability reasons.

The 7-layer Demeyere series – top quality from Belgium

All 7-layer Demeyere pans are made in Belgium and feature two Triplinduc® layers. These ensure up to 30% more efficient operation on induction. Thanks to the Silvinox® treatment, the pans remain shiny and easy to clean. There are no 7-layer pans with non-stick coating – this is pure top-level stainless steel.

Silver (Pro) 7 & Proline 7

The Proline 7 is Demeyere's most famous frying pan: extremely thick, perfectly balanced, and with the best heat conductivity in its class. The Silver Pro 7 frying pan is technically identical, but with a different handle style. The Proline 7 has the same handle style as the Atlantis 7 series. The Silver 7 Pro handle is the same as the Silver 7 series.

The Silver 7 saucepans also have a double-walled lid that better retains moisture and flavor. Both series use copper and silver in the base – the absolute pinnacle of cookware.

Atlantis 7

The Atlantis 7 pans are of similar quality to the Proline, but without frying pans in the series. The double-walled lids of the Silver 7 make them score slightly better. The Silver 7 lids also fit the Atlantis series.

John Pawson 7

A design series developed in honor of Demeyere's 100th anniversary. The John Pawson 7 combines the quality of the Silver 7 with a minimalist design. The handle gets a little warmer, but otherwise, this is a real eye-catcher in the kitchen.

Apollo 7

Similar in construction to the Atlantis, but with a simpler finish. The open rim makes the pan slightly more sensitive to dishwasher tablets. Hand washing is therefore recommended for the Apollo 7 cookware line.

Multiline 7, Silverline 7 & Multifunction 7

  • Multiline 7: slightly thinner and more affordable than the Proline 7.
  • Silverline 7: features Nanotouch finish, which prevents ingredients from sticking as easily.
  • Multifunction 7: identical to the Multiline 7, but with two handles instead of one – perfect for the oven.

ControlInduc X

The smart ControlInduc X frying pan that automatically stabilizes around 250°C on induction thanks to ControlInduc® technology. Ideal for professional kitchens and primarily a luxurious extra for home use.

The 5-layer Demeyere series – powerful, versatile and durable

The 5-layer pans are also largely Belgian-made and combine strong performance with ease of use. Here too, you'll find Triplinduc® and Silvinox® in most lines.

Intense 5

If you ask us, the most beautiful 5-layer series from Demeyere is the Intense 5 cookware line. Slightly thicker than the rest and equipped with a double-walled lid. Ideal for those who enjoy slow, controlled cooking.

Industry 5 & Athena 5

The Industry 5 is the most popular series among home cooks. A sturdy, matte finish with an industrial look and an extensive range of different pans. The Athena 5 frying pan is technically identical, but with a simpler handle – and a lower price.

Black 5 & Multifunction Black 5

Specially designed for outdoor and BBQ, the Black 5 line. The black finish gives a tough look that only gets better with use. The Multifunction variant has two handles and fits perfectly in the oven or on the kamado.

Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce

The absolute top among non-stick pans. The Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce was named Best in Test by the Consumers' Association in 2025. Lightweight, strong, and completely PFAS-free – the choice for daily use. With a special induction base, but also suitable for all other heat sources.

Ecoline 5

A more affordable alternative without Triplinduc® and Silvinox®. Made outside Belgium, but still sturdy and reliable. The Ecoline 5 is perfect for those seeking affordable quality.

The 3-layer Demeyere series – solid and affordable

Demeyere's 3-layer pans are simpler, without Silvinox® and Triplinduc®, but still of above-average quality. Ideal for those who want to cook well at a friendly price.
