Why you"ll like this Demeyere product: Each piece of Demeyere Atlantis cookware is designed for a specific cooking task to ensure that you get the best possible results. Demeyere cookware is especially energy efficient because each pan or pot is structured to channel maximum energy to the food and minimize wasted/lost heat. Pans heat quickly and consistently to ensure proper searing. For best results, always pre-heat the saute pan. Heat oil/butter on high, before turning brown or smoking, reduce heat, then add food. If you are searing meat, it is normal that it will briefly adhere to the pan (1-3 minutes). Once it releases you can easily turn it over or move it.
