Demeyere Atlantis Saucepan with Lid

Let me start by saying I own 3 of the 4 sizes available & they are wonderful. I'm more of a nonstick cookware type of girl, but I've never owned better saucepans in my life. Water boils in what seems like the blink of an eye & clean up is remarkably simple. I love not having rivets on my pan or lid because it ensures you can get it thoroughly clean. Furthermore, the lids are super tight fitting. Did you know you can steam in these with practically no water? It's true; it's a little trick I learned from a Zwilling Rep. Simply rinse your fresh veggies & don't drain them. Throw them in your sauce pan dripping wet & put the lid on, give it a few minutes & voila! I even did it once by soaking my broccoli in chicken broth & it turned out great.
Now all that being said...They. Are. So. HEAVY. Okay okay, I know that's not necessarily a bad thing, but at 5'4" & 130lbs, I have to use both hands on the larger 2 pans & that can be cumbersome without a helper handle.
All in all I love my saucepans...I just wish I could, you know, lift them...

I really like the heft of the pan. It cooks very well on lower temps and doesn't stick or burn if used correctly. I am replacing older 3-ply, copper insert pans. The extra two-ply layers make cooking easier without worrying about burning.

I just got a couple of these pans. I cook on an Induction Cooktop.
Using same size diameter pan and equal amounts of tap water, the Atlantis boiled water on the high setting 33% faster than the "A" Brand saucepan, which is now being shined up for a new owner.
You need less power to cook at the same temps. I am glad we decided on this kitchen upgrade.
Last pans you will ever buy, why not go first class for your lifetime.

Love the pan. Love the brand. I have already used it multiple times. Fantastic quality.
