The Demeyere Athena line has 15 vessels and lids of varying sizes. The line offers casseroles, saucepots, saucepans, woks, frying pans, pancake pans, an oval fish pan, pressure cooker, duo grille, smoking set, a whistling tea kettle, and more. What sets the Athena line apart from the rest of the Demeyere cookware is that this line is 18/10 stainless steel electro-chemically altered with the company's own Silvinox treatment. This allows the product to look like fine silver, complete with the attractive white silver look of great platters without staining, or oxidizing. Demeyere uses a 7-ply material for vessels that require a heating core to go up the sides. This technology includes stainless steel and an aluminum core. The total thickness of the 7-ply material is determined by the methods of cooking for which the vessel is intended. The Athena line also uses a 5-ply technology on its woks and pancake pans that have a nonstick surface. Handles are long and hollow, which is how they stop the conduction of heat so that they stay cool even for long periods on a stovetop.
Demeyere was launched in 1908, and is located near Antwerp Belgium. The company's top-of-the-line stainless steel, their interest in innovation, their clean lines and elegant designs, and their manufacturing processes set them apart in the world of cookware.

Demeyere is the only manufacturer that takes into account each vessel's purpose when applying the material to the design. The Athena line's straight pots have the “Inductobase” technology which is a 7-ply surface of stainless steel around a 5 mm core of pure aluminum hermetically sealed to the bottom of the vessel that allows for fast and even conductivity, even at very low heats or heating elements with small diameters. Demeyere is especially concerned about being hygienic, and this line is no different. The cookware lacks screws and rivets; handles are welded to the body of the vessel in order to keep dirt and microbes from having a place to lodge. The bottoms of the vessels are hermetically sealed for the same purpose.
The Athena line is oven safe, dishwasher safe, and is designed to be durable over a long period of time.
