The Demeyere Atlantis has a superconductive copper base. This Inductoseal base is made up of 7 layers (7-ply), with the copper core encased in stainless steel. Are you cooking on induction but want to use the pan on gas for a while and later switch back to induction? No problem. Have you cooked on a ceramic hob and are now going to cook on induction? You can continue to use the Atlantis pan without any issues. The surface of the Atlantis pans has undergone an electrochemical Silvinox® treatment, making the stainless steel easy to clean and resistant to fingerprints and acidic foods. The pans remain silver-white, even after years of use. The pouring rim of the Atlantis pan is specially designed so that you can pour both liquid and thick sauces without spilling.
