For over 100 years, Demeyere® has been crafting exceptional cookware that combines durability, performance, and ease of use for both professional chefs and home cooks alike. Our company was founded in 1908 in Belgium by André Demeyere, who set out to create high-quality, long-lasting cookware using the best materials and techniques.
Our Legacy of Quality and Innovation
André Demeyere established a small workshop in Herentals, Belgium, where he began designing and handcrafting pots, pans, and other kitchen tools. His goal was to make cookware that could withstand heavy, constant use in professional kitchens while still being suitable for the home. Demeyere utilized cutting-edge technologies like multi-layering and riveting to build rugged, heat-retaining cookware.
The company saw quick success and grew over several decades under the Demeyere family’s management. By the 1960s, Demeyere was exporting products worldwide and had introduced new lines like our renowned Atlantis series. In the 1990s, the company changed ownership but retained its Belgian headquarters. We modernized manufacturing techniques while upholding Demeyere’s superior quality standards.
Today, Demeyere remains an industry leader constantly pushing cookware innovation. We hold numerous patents for technologies like our revolutionary 7-ply construction and InductoSeal® base. Our cookware graces many Michelin star kitchens as well as home cookware collections worldwide. We still handcraft each piece at our workshop in Belgium using time-honored techniques perfected over generations.
Our 7 Layers of Perfection
What sets Demeyere cookware apart is our patented 7-ply construction. While triply cookware is the gold standard for performance, our 7 layers take durability, heating, and cooking precision to new heights.
Our cookware features a thick 18/10 stainless steel interior ideal for searing, browning, and deglazing. Next is an ultra-responsive aluminum core that rapidly transfers heat for perfect cooking control. This core is sandwiched between 6 more stainless layers, including one with a magnetic InductoSeal® base for quick, even heating.
The 7 layers deliver unbeatable heat control, retention, and distribution. Foods cook perfectly with no hot spots, and our pans transition beautifully from stovetop to oven. This 7-ply build makes Demeyere cookware up to 40% more conductive than 5-ply options.
Cookware Designed to Last a Lifetime
In addition to our 7-ply construction, several other design elements make Demeyere cookware extraordinarily durable:
- Sturdy riveted handles stay firmly attached even under heavy use
- Reinforced edges prevent warping
- Flared rims for drip-free pouring
- Pressed lids fit tightly to lock in moisture and nutrients
- Helper handles on larger pans provide extra control
We use medical-grade stainless steel for optimal resilience. Our materials and bonded construction can handle thousands of hours of cooking. Even the surface stands up to metal utensils, scouring, and dishwasher cleaning. With proper care, Demeyere cookware will provide a lifetime of impeccable performance.
Unsurpassed Versatility
Demeyere cookware excels at every cooking technique for flawless results each time. The 7 layers quickly respond to temperature changes so you can perfectly pan fry, sauté, sear, simmer, braise, and more.
Our hard-anodized aluminum woks and nonstick pans deliver excellent heat conduction too. Their PFOA-free nonstick coatings let you fry eggs, cook delicate fish, and flip pancakes effortlessly.
Nearly all Demeyere cookware transitions conveniently from stovetop to oven up to 500°F. Bake casseroles, roast meats, or broil fish after stovetop simmering or searing.
And with their magnetic InductoSeal® bases, Demeyere pots and pans work on all stove types:
- Electric
- Gas
- Induction
- Halogen
No matter what cooking surface you have, you’ll achieve the best possible results.

Uncompromising Quality From Start to Finish
Demeyere oversees every aspect of our cookware’s creation. We design each piece in-house to exacting specifications optimized for cooking excellence. Our own local artisans in Belgium handcraft a majority of our cookware using time-proven methods.
We forge our own clad bases by bonding stainless steel and aluminum layers under extreme heat and pressure. This creates a strong, integrated cook surface for rapid heat transfer. Every cookware series uses variations of our clad base technology.
Polishing and finishing take place at Demeyere’s Belgian factory. We meticulously polish each piece to a smooth, bright sheen or a satin glow. Then we attach the handles, which are ergonomically designed for comfort and control.
Before shipping, our quality control team rigorously examines each product. We reject any piece that fails to meet our lofty standards. This ensures only flawless cookware arrives to customers.
Setting the Standard for Sustainable Production
In addition to culinary performance, Demeyere prides itself on our eco-friendly business practices. All production takes place at our solar-powered Belgian factory that has earned a Gold-LEED sustainability certification.
We use 100% recycled stainless steel and green anodizing processes for our aluminum. Our equipment meets energy efficiency standards, and we continually search for ways to reduce consumption and waste. We also partner with local suppliers to diminish transportation emissions.
Demeyere aims to lessen our environmental impact without ever compromising high product quality. We strongly believe businesses have an obligation to safeguard our planet for future generations.
