Setup

Initial Cleaning

Before first use, wash all pieces of your cookware set thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. This removes any manufacturing residues.

Preparing for First Use

Your Demeyere Atlantis cookware is ready for use after initial cleaning. No special seasoning is required for stainless steel. Ensure the cookware is completely dry before placing it on a heat source.

Operating Instructions

Demeyere Atlantis cookware features a 7-layer construction designed for optimal heat performance. The InductoSeal base with a copper disk ensures impressive heat conduction, while the 7-Ply Material in flared pans spreads heat evenly up to the rim. The proprietary technology ensures the base remains flat even when heated.

Heat Management

• Use Medium Heat: Due to the superior heat conductivity, medium heat is often sufficient for most cooking tasks. High heat should be used sparingly and only for boiling liquids.
• Preheating: Always preheat your pan before adding oil or butter. This helps achieve optimal cooking temperatures and prevents food from sticking.
• Water Droplet Test: To ensure your pan is properly heated, sprinkle a few drops of water into the pan. If the water forms small beads that dance and evaporate slowly, the pan is ready. If the water evaporates instantly, the pan is too hot. If it just sits there, the pan is not hot enough.
• Stovetop Compatibility: This cookware is compatible with all stovetops, including gas, electric, induction, and ceramic.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning Instructions

The patented Silvinox surface treatment helps maintain the beautiful silvery white matte appearance and makes the cookware easy to clean. While the cookware is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve its finish and extend its lifespan.

• For everyday cleaning, use warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth.
• For stubborn food residues or discoloration, a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water can be used. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.
• Always dry the cookware immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.

Storage

Store your cookware in a dry place. To prevent scratches, place a soft cloth or pan protector between stacked pieces.

Troubleshooting

Food Sticking

• Issue: Food sticks to the pan surface.
  Solution: Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding oil or food. Use the water droplet test described in the Operating Instructions. Also, ensure sufficient oil or fat is used for cooking.

Discoloration

• Issue: White spots or rainbow discoloration appear on the stainless steel.
  Solution: This is typically caused by mineral deposits from water or high heat. These spots can be removed by boiling a solution of water and white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) in the pan for a few minutes, then washing and drying as usual.

Warping

• Issue: The base of the pan appears warped or uneven.
  Solution: Demeyere cookware is designed with flatbase stability to prevent warping. If warping occurs, it is usually due to extreme temperature changes (e.g., plunging a hot pan into cold water). Always allow cookware to cool gradually before washing.
