FAQs about our Stainless Steel Cookware

ProBond and NanoBond have a similar tri-ply construction with 18/10 stainless steel as the interior/cooking surface and our exclusive aluminumProCoreTM. Where NanoBond differs is that the 18/10 stainless steel is further protected by thousands of molecular titanium nano-layers that create an incredibly durable and impermeable surface that is 400% harder than stainless steel and ultra-smooth.

Both our ProBond and Thomas Keller Insignia collections are made of tri-ply 18/10 stainless steel with our exclusive pure aluminum ProCore™ that delivers 35% greater heat conduction.

What's Different?

Construction

ProBond is clad stainless-steel cookware, similar to All Clad, but with advanced features and benefits. The tri-ply construction is optimized by cold forging the steel so the base and rims are thicker for durability, but the sidewalls are thinner to help reduce the weight.

Ergonomic Handle

Chef Keller's bespoke handle design, which rests comfortably in hand, minimizes heat transfer via stay-cool handle vent, and offers an improved angle for lifting and moving the cookware. Most notably, the innovative seamless handle eliminates the food-trapping crevice with beauty and incomparable craftsmanship.

Lids

The Thomas Keller Insignia collection features two universal lids designed to fit all the vessels in the collection and reduce manufacturing waste by eliminating extraneous lids.
ProBond includes our signature stainless steel Hestan lid that is interchangeable between our NanoBond and CopperBond collections.

Finish

Insignia pieces have a lightly-brushed stainless steel interior and exterior for an elevated commercial look
ProBond has a polished stainless steel rim paired with brushed stainless steel body.

Our ProBond collection is also a recipient of the 2021 Red Dot and Good Design Awards for distinguished design. Learn more about the Red Dot Award and Good Design Award.

Stainless steel woks are known for their durability and excellent heat conduction, making them ideal for high-heat cooking techniques like stir-frying. They are also non-reactive, which means they won’t alter the taste of acidic foods.

Yes, our Clad Stainless Steel Wok is specifically designed to be fully compatible with induction stoves. This Stainless Steel Wok is designed with a tri-ply body that includes a pure aluminum core, which not only ensures maximum durability and fast, even heat distribution but also makes it suitable for all cooking surfaces, including induction.

Stainless steel woks with lid should be washed with warm soapy water and a sponge or soft brush. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface. For tough residues, soaking the wok or using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda can help.

Why ProBond?

Superior Heat Conduction

Tri-ply stainless steel construction with our exclusive pure aluminum ProCore delivers 35% greater heat conductivity than other clad cookware.

Chef Inspired Design

Reinforced stainless rims guard against the inevitable whack of the whisk, while their flared design ensures drip-free pouring. Flush rivets prevent food buildup within the cooking surface and also allow for easy nesting storage.

Heavy Duty Construction

Our cold forging process provides a thicker base for even heat distribution, thinner side walls for lighter weight and thicker rims for increased durability.

How to Clean

ProBond is dishwasher safe. Unlike other stainless steel cookware, ProBond's sealed rims prevent delamination making it truly dishwasher safe. Over time, stainless steel may stain due to oil build up. Any staining or residue can be scrubbed with the powdered version of Barkeeper's friend and a soft scrubber.
