        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 Commercial Clad collections are made of tri-ply 18/10 stainless steel with our exclusive pure aluminum ProCore™ that delivers 35% greater heat conduction.

        What's in Common?

        • ProCore™ delivers 35% greater heat conduction
        • Induction compatible
        • Signature Hestan Advantages...
        • Handcrafted in Italy
        • Lifetime warranty

        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 Commercial Clad 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

        • Commercial Clad 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.

        Hestan Delivers Perfection

        "I am so proud of my Hestan cookware. It is beautiful and of the highest quality. My induction stove top was new to me after using a gas range for decades. My Hestan cookware functions perfectly as it conducts heat perfectly. The weight is ideal, the lids fit snugly and the handles stay cool to the touch while cooking."

        — Linda P. (5/5)

        "Quite literally a nightmare ordering with subpar communication on a randomly cancelled order and then missing item on second order without the same discount. Items are great. Customer service…not impressed."

        — Emily (3/5)

        Rondeau

        "I have used my wonderful new rondeau probably 6 out of the 10 past meals prepared! Its size, heat distribution , searing ability, and maintainence have been a joy! The bottom has scratched more from sliding on the burner from front to back but I can live with that. Its beautiful too! Thank you, I am very pleased. Sincerely, , Lisa B. Ford"

        — Lisa F. (5/5)

        Well Made & the Perfect Size

        Great Skillet

        "I wanted an egg pan for breakfasts where the eggs didn't stick to the pan. This skilllet works perfect. My over easy eggs flip easy and slide right off onto the plate. Very happy!"

        — Laurence C. (5/5)

        Fantastic pan

        "Super easy to cook on, makes great steaks and great pan sauces. Sears like no other pan I’ve used"

        — Braeden M. (5/5)

        I bought these pans to

        "I bought these pans to replace my All-Clad pans. When I bought the All-Clad pans they were advertised as being dishwasher safe. Turns out they are not. All-Clad does not have sealed edges but the Hestan pans do! The pans cook great, feel substantial (not flimsy like most cheaper brands) and are great too cook with."

        — Lawrence S. (5/5)

        Stylish, Well-built Pot

        "Couldn’t be more happy with how stylish and functional this pot is. I am very selective over the brands I choose for my home, and this has made the list. I can’t wait to expand my collection."

        — Abby J. (5/5)

        Clean up is easy. Freakishly

        "Clean up is easy. Freakishly even distribution of heat across entire pan. Live the double boiler top and steamer. The griddle I bought before was the same perfect heat distribution! Love them ❤️!"

        ProBond Luxe® – Polished Clad Stainless Steel Skillets with TITUM® Nonstick

        "Excellent skillet. I use the 8.5-inch ProBond Luxe on my Wolf 48-inch induction range, and it performs beautifully. It heats quickly and evenly, the TITUM® nonstick surface releases food effortlessly, and it’s perfect for eggs and smaller portions. It feels substantial and well-made without being overly heavy, and cleanup is extremely easy. The polished stainless exterior also looks great on a high-end range. Very impressed with the quality and performance."
