Product information

Suitable for all heat sources, including induction

PFAS-free

With the innovative and PFAS-free 'Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce' Frying Pan, you can effortlessly cook the most delicious dishes. Its ceramic non-stick coating allows you to cook without sticking and completely free from harmful substances such as PTFE.

The Alu Pro 5 Frying Pan (28cm) from Demeyere was rated best in test by the Consumers' Association in December 2024, April 2025, and December 2025.

Ceraforce® Non-Stick Coating

The ceramic Ceraforce® non-stick coating is scratch-resistant and PFTE/PFAS-free. Because you need to use less fat, even with lean ingredients, you also cook a lot healthier. This frying pan has a specially designed induction base but also works exceptionally well on any other heat source.

Which fat do you use in the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce pan?

Preferably choose a neutral oil that can withstand temperatures above 170°C; for example, peanut or corn oil. Olive oil is also fine for frying, as long as you monitor the temperature. Extra virgin olive oil is excellent for flavor but has a low smoke point (160-190°C), so do not fry hotter than that. Butter, clarified butter, coconut oil, wok oil, and ghee can also be used for frying.


Suitable for all cooktops

All Demeyere pans with a Ceraforce coating can be used on all types of cooktops.


Treat your pan with love

A pan with a ceramic non-stick coating can certainly take a beating, but not nearly as well as a cast iron or stainless steel pan. A scratch can happen, but make sure not to use metal utensils on the pan. Only use silicone or wooden kitchen utensils. And we also advise against stacking frying pans; in that case, use pan protectors. And when you're done with your pan? Wash it thoroughly. By cleaning it properly, the non-stick coating will continue to perform well. The pan is dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing. Aggressive detergents are not good for the pan.

Frequently asked questions

  • Was ist der Unterschied zwischen 3, 5 und 7 Schichten

    Pfannen werden oft als 3-, 5- oder 7-Schicht-Pfannen bezeichnet. Wird auch dreilagig, mehrlagig oder siebenlagig genannt. Nachfolgend listen wir die Unterschiede auf.

    3-ply Bratpfannen bestehen aus drei unterschiedlichen Materialschichten, oft mit einem Aluminiumkern zwischen zwei Edelstahlschichten. Dies sorgt für eine gute Wärmeleitung und Langlebigkeit, während der Edelstahl an der Außenseite korrosionsbeständig ist und nicht mit Lebensmitteln reagiert.

    5-lagige Bratpfannen bestehen aus fünf Schichten, normalerweise einer Kombination aus Aluminium und Edelstahl, wobei die zusätzlichen Schichten dazu beitragen, die Wärme noch besser zu verteilen und zu speichern. Diese Pfannen sind dicker, schwerer und bieten eine noch bessere Temperaturkontrolle, wodurch sie sich ideal für sensible Kochvorgänge eignen.

    7-Schicht-Bratpfannen bestehen aus sieben Schichten verschiedener Metalle, manchmal mit Kupfer oder einem anderen wärmeleitenden Kern. Diese Konstruktion maximiert die Wärmeverteilung und -speicherung auf das Äußerste und macht diese Pfannen zu außergewöhnlich leistungsstarken Pfannen zum Kochen und Braten, sie sind jedoch oft auch die teuersten und schwersten.

  • Is the Demeyere Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce frying pan truly PFAS-free?

    Yes. The Ceraforce layer is a ceramic non-stick coating without PTFE, PFOA, PFOS or other PFAS substances. Instead of Teflon, Demeyere uses silicon particles that are baked onto the pan. The result is a baking surface that doesn't release anything, even at high temperatures.

  • How does the Ceraforce non-stick coating work?

    The Ceraforce layer consists of millions of microscopic silicon particles baked onto the aluminium. These tiny peaks reduce the contact surface between the food and the pan, which means proteins, sugars, and gluten barely stick. You can fry crispy and without sticking, using much less fat than in a stainless steel pan.

  • Which heat sources is the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce suitable for?

    The pan works on all heat sources: gas, induction, ceramic, halogen, electric, and in the oven. The TriplInduc technology in the base provides up to 30 percent more efficiency on induction than a standard pan.

  • Can I use metal utensils in the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce?

    No. Only use silicone or wooden kitchen utensils. Metal spatulas, knives, or forks will damage the ceramic coating. A scratch will negate the non-stick effect in that spot, because the microscopic peaks will be flattened and cannot be restored.

  • Can the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce go in the dishwasher?

    The pan is technically dishwasher-safe, but Demeyere recommends hand washing. The aggressive detergents in the dishwasher will affect the ceramic coating over time and shorten its lifespan. With a soft sponge and warm soapy water, the pan can be cleaned in half a minute.

  • On which heat setting should I use the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce?

    Heat the pan to 70 to 80 percent of maximum power and reduce to 20 to 30 percent once you start cooking. Full power is never necessary and damages the Ceraforce coating. Overheating flattens the microscopic peaks, and the non-stick coating no longer works.

  • What oil or butter do I use in the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce?

    Choose a neutral oil with a high smoke point: peanut oil, corn oil, or coconut oil work well. Olive oil is acceptable, but keep the temperature low. Extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point of 160 to 190 degrees Celsius: do not fry hotter than that with it. Butter, butter oil, and ghee can also be used.

  • How long does the non-stick coating last?

    When used correctly, the Ceraforce coating will last for years. Correct use means: do not use high heat, no metal utensils, hand wash, and never leave the pan empty on a hot burner. Cheaper ceramic pans lose their effectiveness after a few months. The five-layer aluminum base of the Alu Pro 5 keeps the coating more stable than thin-walled competitors.

  • May I use the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce in the oven?

    Yes, the pan is oven-safe up to 230 degrees Celsius. Do not use it under the grill or above 230 degrees, as the Ceraforce coating is not designed for this. The stainless steel handle conducts little heat but does get hot in the oven: use oven mitts.

  • What is the difference between the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce and a regular Teflon frying pan?

    Teflon (PTFE) is a synthetic non-stick coating that can release harmful substances at high temperatures. Ceraforce is ceramic and PFAS-free. Teflon wears out faster and is less scratch-resistant. Ceraforce provides a slightly less smooth slide than Teflon, but bakes crispier and is safer. The baking result is between Teflon and pure stainless steel.

  • Can I stack the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce for storage?

    Better not, unless you use pan protectors. Ceramic coatings are more scratch-resistant than Teflon, but direct metal-on-metal contact when stacking can still damage the coating. A silicone pan protector between each pan is the right solution.

  • How many layers of aluminum does the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce have?

    The pan has a five-layer aluminum base, 5 millimeters thick. This thickness ensures quick and even heat distribution without hotspots in the middle. Cheaper ceramic pans have a thin coating on a wafer-thin aluminum tray. Here, the construction is fundamentally different, and this is reflected in the cooking performance.

  • Which size should I choose for the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce?

    For one or two people, 20 or 24 centimetres is sufficient. For two to three people, 26 or 28 centimetres is standard. The 30-centimetre pan is suitable for large families or those who regularly cook several pieces of meat or a whole chicken breast at once. Please note: the pan is relatively heavy due to its thick base. Those with less strength in their hands should opt for a smaller size.

  • What is the warranty on the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce?

    Demeyere provides a 5-year warranty on the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce. This warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal household use. Wear and tear of the ceramic coating due to use at excessively high heat or with metal utensils is not covered.

  • How do I clean the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce after cooking?

    Allow the pan to cool before washing. Putting hot pans under cold water will warp the base. Wash with warm water, a soft sponge, and regular dish soap. Do not use scourers or caustic cleaning agents. The pan is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is better for the longevity of the ceramic coating.
