If You Buy One Thing from Nordstrom’s Home Sale, It Should Be This Everyday Cooking Essential

Nordstrom continues to be one of our favorite retailers for shopping top-of-the-line cookware brands like Staub, All-Clad, Le Creuset, and more, all in one place. These splurge-worthy picks are even more worth it when you can get them for a steal, just like you’ll find during Nordstrom’s Winter Clearance Event, which is taking place right now. While we’ve already written about our favorite deals from the event, there’s one item in particular that made us stop in our tracks: this Demeyere Industry 5-Ply Stainless Steel Fry Pan, a professional-quality pan that normally retails for $140, but you can snag it right now for under $100 as part of this special sale event.

Part of the Zwilling family, Demeyere is a European cookware brand that has become a globally recognized name in stainless steel cookware, designed to bring restaurant-quality products into home kitchens. It’s also one of our executive lifestyle director’s favorite trusted cookware brands, so of course it has the Kitchn seal of approval! While there are a lot of stainless steel skillets out there to accommodate varying budgets, this splurge-worthy pan is perfect for any home cook looking to step up their everyday frying game.

What makes this pan so special is its design. It has five layers of aluminum with a thick core, perfect for reaching high temperatures quickly with even distribution and no hot spots. It’s the pan you want to reach for to perfectly brown, crisp, sear, and fry, whether you’re making crispy potatoes or pan-fried salmon. And at 9.5 inches in diameter, it won’t be a hassle to pull it out from your cabinets or clean in the sink.

Plus, there’s so much more to love. The rim of the pan is dripless, so you won’t have to worry about making a mess when pouring any liquids out. And with a handle that’s ergonomic and designed to stay cool, you’ll feel comfortable working with it. Demeyere is also known for giving the surfaces of its stainless steel cookware a Silvinox treatment to maintain a shiny surface without darkening, even years after use. 

Many reviewers rave about this pan and how well it stands up to its professional status. One customer referred to it as a “lifetime skillet,” while another wrote that it can get the pan “screaming hot” thanks to its aluminum core. Several reviewers also spoke to how easy the pan is when it comes time for cleanup. Food slides right off, which is definitely not a given when it comes to stainless steel cookware.

Investing in Demeyere is a decision that will revolutionize your kitchen routine, and getting it for a total steal (aka this $99 fry pan!) is an even better idea. Whether you’re stashing it away as a sweet Valentine’s Day gift or treating yourself to some impressive cookware, this is a deal that you don’t want to miss.
