I bought this replace some large cast iron dutch ovens, or at least that is what I told my wife. The pot holds temperature well and cleans up nicely. So far, I have cooked chili in it twice and it holds a large batch easily. It is large and not as heavy as the cast iron pots, which hold less than this one. It does have some heft to it and it hold heat very well.
I am so happy I bought this pot! Lighter, and larger, than my Le Creuset (with a 28 on the bottom- I think that is 7.25 quarts?) Cooked Coq au Vin in it, very large surface area for browning the chicken - 6 full legs fit and no overlapping. Cleans up like a dream. I am slowly converting my cookware over to Demeyere everything!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect cooking vessel for chili, stews, braising, pot roast and chickens. Demeyere cookware is the best of the best. Each size and shape of the vessel is manufactured for optimal performance. Sauce pans and other straight sided pots are heavier on the bottom than the sides for maximum heat retention,flat bottoms for even cooking over the entire surface and rolled rims for dripless pouring. Fry pans and other conical pots have thicker bottoms and substantial sides to create maximum cooking throughout the pan. Stay cool handles, beautiful finish and no rivets only adds to the value of these pots making them an essential addition to your kitchen.

You won't be disappointed.

This 8.9-qt. a perfect dutch oven size is not too small nor too big for my daily cooking needs. Ample room for cooking large batches of casserole, stew, sauces, and cooking grains such as rice. Great for making broth and soups, and can be used for deep frying, and an excellent pot for braising meat. Copper disk ensures impressive heat conduction, and even heat distribution. Proprietary technology ensures the base stays flat even when heated, and will not warp. It is to last a lifetime investment. I've had a variety of stainless steel pans, Atlantis is one of my favorite cookware. The best stainless steel out on the market. Safe for heavy metal kitchen tools, and extremely scratch-resistant. However, the keyword is “resistant” so, with enough force, anything can cause scratches. Therefore, wood and silicone kitchen tools are recommended. Highly recommended handwashing, preventing from the dishwasher's detergent abrasiveness and from any damage-causing from bumping into hard and pointy stuff during the wash. One of the best stainless steel cream cleanser I can recommend is Bar Keeper's friend, it is easy to clean pot; just soak with water and soap and use a sponge to remove food residue.

Worth every penny. No hesitation.

This is one of my favorite shapes. And this is my special special occasion size. It does everything - boils crab, deep fries shrimp and a cooks my linguine for a crowd. Does large batch curries, stews and soups, perfectly. The 5.5 qt is good size for 4-6 people. Look at the 4 qt for 2-3 people.
Demeyere made me rethink my cookware plan. I have spent my grown-up years upgrading to better cookware, which for me is (was) copper clad pans. But there are some challenges with copper, mostly maintenance.
Enter Demeyere Atlantis. I love this stuff! It has all the best parts of copper cookware and it’s easy to clean! In addition to being technically sound (it cooks well; heats evenly and is responsive to temperature changes), it has bonuses that help to justify the price.
No rivets - no cleaning around those annoying little screw heads. Comfortable stay-cool handles – easy to grip and lift. Looks good – shiny exterior stays that way. Just a note – it is heavy, like copper, but some things can’t be helped. There's copper in there, and copper is heavy.

This pan does it all..... I have used it for stews, boiling potatoes, as a steamer and even frying steaks in it. Its has a 7-Ply construction (layers) with an aluminum core which means incredible heat distribution. The size is perfect for family cooking. It can with stand oven temperatures up to 500F. We have used it on our BBQ as an additional heat surface with no problems.
