Demeyere Atlantis 3.5-qt Stainless Steel Saucier

Disappointing

Good quality, well made pot. Taking out 1 star as the lid handle was scuffed and had sharp edges. Had to sand it a bit before using. Expect the quality control to be better at this price point.

Demeyere’s Atlantis line is sublime. The only drawback is the weight, but some may even consider that an advantage, and it comes with the territory for such fantastic cookware. This 3.5qt saucier heats very evenly and very quickly, and the size is big enough, you can cook nearly anything in it. Sure, sauces, but also one-pot meals, even small stir-fry. And with the fantastic no-river handles, cleanup is a relative breeze. It ain’t cheap, but while you do not always get what you pay for, you definitely have to pay for what you get, and Demeyere delivers across the board: easy cleanup, good looks, excellent heat distribution. What’s not to like?

It's a beautiful pan that is fit for a commercial kitchen, it will last a lifetime.

The product description photos show the lid to be fully covering the full circumference of the pot from edge to edge. Whereas, the lid received in our order is too small by more than 1/4" in diameter (i.e. 1/8"+ all the way around the outer circumference). The result is that the top rattles and slips around loose. To make matters worse, forced to use USPS for return instead of having the option for Whole Foods drop-off. Avoid buying any Demeyere product from this seller because the product we received is likely one of the "Perfectly Imperfects" factory second products that Zwilling (the actual seller) is known to put on sale on their direct to consumer website from time to time. Dirty Trick!
