FAQs
What makes the CERAFORCE coating special?
CERAFORCE is a ceramic nonstick coating developed without PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), offering a healthier and more environmentally conscious alternative for food release and easy cleanup.
How does TriplInduc Technology improve cooking?
TriplInduc Technology makes the pan up to 30% more efficient on induction cooktops by enhancing magnetic properties, leading to faster heating and more precise temperature control.
Can I use metal utensils with this pan?
It is strongly recommended to use only silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to protect the integrity and longevity of the CERAFORCE nonstick coating. Metal utensils can scratch and damage the surface.
Is it safe to put this pan in the dishwasher?
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild soap is recommended to maintain the nonstick performance and extend the product's lifespan.
What is the maximum oven-safe temperature?
The Demeyere Alu Pro 5 High Sided Fry Pan is heat resistant up to 230°C (446°F).
Why are the sides of the pan high?
The high sides are designed for versatility, making the pan ideal for sautéing larger quantities of ingredients, stirring, and cooking sauces without splattering, thus keeping your cooking area cleaner.
What material is the pan made of?
The pan features an aluminum base for excellent heat conductivity and is coated with CERAFORCE ceramic nonstick. The handle is made of cast aluminum with stainless-steel rivets.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the pan.
Ensure the pan is preheated correctly before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the coating. If the nonstick performance has degraded, it may be time to consider replacement.
Pan is not heating evenly.
Verify the pan is centered on the heat source. Ensure you are using the appropriate heat setting; excessive heat can sometimes lead to uneven performance or damage. For induction cooktops, ensure the pan is fully in contact with the surface.
Handle feels loose.
The handle is riveted and should be secure. If it feels exceptionally loose, inspect the rivets. Do not attempt to tighten rivets yourself. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
Coating appears to be peeling or chipped.
This can occur if the pan has been subjected to extreme temperatures, abrasive cleaning, or metal utensil use. Discontinue use if the coating is significantly damaged to avoid potential ingestion of coating particles.

Compatibility:
- Stovetops: Compatible with all stovetops, including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and most importantly, induction. The TriplInduc Technology optimizes performance on induction.
