Demeyere Alu Pro Non-Stick Review
Pros:
- Compatible with all stovetops, including Induction
- Heat conduction
- Duraglide Titanium non-stick coating, which is scratch-resistant, making this durable cookware
- Dishwasher safe
- Oven safe to 446F
Cons:
- Some users found it heavy for a non-stick pan

Overall Demeyere Alu Pro Non-Stick Review
As far as I can tell, Demeyere does not have a set for AluPro, their nonstick line, and everything seems to be sold separately. However, they offer a good variety of frying pans, saucepans, stew pots, woks, and more, depending on your Kitchen’s nonstick needs.
AluPro is Demeyere’s breakout into non-stick cookware. Each piece is constructed of durable cold-forged aluminum and coated with a 5-layer Ti-X coating. Its aluminum body heats up quickly and evenly. The non-stick coating consists of three layers of non-stick coating, a Plasma Primer, and a protective layer, which allows for an impressive food release, metal-utensil usage, and overall superior non-stick performance.
Its lightweight body and stay-cool handle ensure comfort while cooking. I, personally, appreciated the flared rims, which conveniently allowed for drip-free pouring. Demeyere is already known for its stainless steel cookware, so it was no surprise that AluPro pots and pans were high-performing and expertly designed. I would recommend this line to anyone looking to add one or more non-stick pieces to their kitchen. It is the attention to detail that makes this an excellent option for your everyday use.

About Demeyere Cookware
History of Demeyere Cookware
In 1908, Demeyere got its start as a small family-run business that manufactured biscuit tins. Over the years, they grew and expanded their metalwork, finally venturing into household products in 1921. Throughout the years, the company, and specifically the family, focused on innovation and change. Demeyere started to become the global benchmark they are today when they began focusing on induction cooking and cookware back in 1975.
This continued with four generations of the Demeyere: always focusing on innovation, growth, and change. In 2008, ZWILLING J. A. Henckel took over the Demeyere business operations but ensured that Demeyere would retain its identity and focus. Over 100 years in the business, and Demeyere continues to be a global benchmark for high-end cookware made of stainless steel that is induction-compatible cookware.
You may have noticed these pots in pans in Hell’s Kitchen as they routinely are used and show up as gifts for the chefs on the show.
✅ After reviewing all of the Demeyere Cookware this is the one that we would buy based on all of its qualities.
What is the Demeyere product lineup?
Demeyere has a few cookware lines, each bringing professional performance to your kitchen. Below are some of the best-known ones and a brief description of each:
Atlantis
The premium line from Demeyere, the Atlantis, boasts exceptional performance and a beautiful design. Each piece’s 7-ply construction allows for amazing heat distribution and retention.
AluPro
Demeyere’s Alu Pro cookware are Aluminum non-stick pots and pans that use a revolutionary design with a cold-forged layer of aluminum and TriplInduc technology.
Industry 5
Demeyere Industry pots and pans are designed to meet restaurant standards. This line has superior 5-ply construction cookware that meets the needs of both seasoned chefs and new cooks.
John Pawson
This cookware line was designed by the minimalist architect John Pawson (1), with the idea that the kitchen is the center. Each piece has a simple and functional design that easily transitions from the stove to the table.
Resto
The Resto cookware line provides high-quality pieces that are both functional and beautiful to the value-conscious. They create some cookware for specific functions and needs, no matter what your culinary needs.
Materials Used
Demeyere specializes in high-quality, induction-specialized stainless steel cookware. This means they can be used on an induction cooktop. Here is a list of the materials that they use in their stainless steel cookware:
- 7-PlyMaterial is a mix of 7 alloys, including stainless steel and an aluminum core. This allows for optimum heat distribution over the entire pan and allows for precise temperature control.
- 5-Ply Material is a combination of 5 different allows, including aluminum layers and magnetic stainless steel. This construction ensures that heat is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the pan, eliminating all hotspots.
- InductoSeal base is constructed of seven layers with a copper disk core. With its larger heat-conducting surface, this base is more energy-efficient and delivers superior results even on low heat.
- InductoBase base is constructed of seven layers with a core of pure aluminum. This pure aluminum core ensures that the cookware delivers exceptional results and has an even heat transfer.
- Capsule Base consists of three layers- stainless steel, aluminum plate, and magnetic stainless steel. This design allows for the cookware to be used on all stovetops, like induction.
Handles
Demeyere’s pots and pans have stainless steel, stay-cool handles. On the Resto and AluPro products, the handles are riveted to the cookware. For Atlantis, Industry, and John Pawson products, the handles are welded directly onto the cookware.
Heat Retention
Heat retention or heat capacity is the amount of heat a material can store over time, even if colder items are introduced. This is an important aspect of cooking because you don’t always want your food to cool off instantly or significantly change if you introduce cold ingredients. Certain materials affect the heat retention of an item, but also the thickness of the material can impact how well it holds onto heat as well.
All of Demeyere’s pots and pans are thick and heavy, ensuring superior heat retention.
Thermal Conductivity
The thermal conductivity of a material is a measurement that tells the material’s ability to conduct heat. This is an important aspect of cooking and cookware because it can affect how quickly it takes to heat, how evenly it heats if there are cold spots or hot spots, etc. Stainless Steel, for example, has poor thermal conductivity.
For stainless steel to be efficient in cookware, it must be combined with another metal that has excellent thermal conductivity. Demeyere Cookware has excellent thermal conductivity because its products are a combination of stainless steel & aluminum, stainless steel & copper, and cold-forged aluminum (for the non-stick).
How Does Demeyere Cookware Compare to Other Cookware?
Demeyere vs. All-Clad
Both All-Clad and Demeyere are excellent options if you are looking for the best of the best stainless steel cookware. Both are expensive cookware, but both are worth their cost. The biggest difference between the two is heat retention and thermal conductivity. Demeyere has a better heating performance compared to All-Clad pots.
However, this also means that it is heavier and can be hard to manage. Both brands also have a unique but different cladding process, which is how they combine metal layers. Ultimately, either brand is an excellent choice. You can read more about the company and a few reviews in our All-Clad Cookware Review.
Demeyere vs. Viking
Viking offers various high-quality cookware, including stainless steel, copper, hard-anodized aluminum, and cast iron. Like Demeyere, Viking offers professional-quality pots and pans. However, Demeyere has superior heating and is induction compatible. If neither of those is your biggest concern, then either is a great choice here. You can learn more in our Viking Cookware Review.
Demeyere vs. 360 Cookware
360 Cookware is another high-quality stainless steel cookware brand. We have discussed them before in our 360 Cookware Review. Their cookware is designed to use Vapor technology (a waterless cooking method), which Demeyere is not designed for. Both brands are great choices depending on your preferences, although Demeyere has superior heat conductivity and is heavier.
Demeyere vs. Mauviel
Mauviel is a renowned French cookware brand that mainly uses copper, aluminum, and stainless steel. Like Demeyere, they focus on bringing professional performance to every kitchen. Mauviel is especially known for its luxurious copperware. You can read our thoughts on the Best Copper Cookware here. I would say that choice would depend on personal design preference. You can read more about Mauviel and our thoughts in our Mauviel Cookware Review.
Demeyere vs. Hestan
Like Demeyere, Hestan is a high-quality cookware brand that is designed for exceptional performance and long-lasting durability. However, it is constructed mostly of titanium and a stainless steel exterior, which gives it a durability edge over Demeyere. Either would be an excellent choice for stainless steel cookware. Read more in our Hestan Cookware Review.
