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.

The Hestan Advantages

ProCore™ Aluminum

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

Flush Rivets

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.

Reviews

Hestan cookware is worth every $

"I have the complete trio of Titus nonstick ProBond Lux frying pans and they are best product on the market. Don’t buy inferior products every few years. Buy Hestan, they perform wonderfully and will last a long, long time."

— Sean S. (5/5)

Great for induction cookers

"This is my second non stick Hestan. The heat distribution on my induction stove is great. It’sa good non stick surface. My 10. 5” unit is still slick after a couple of years"

— Wayne W. (5/5)

Excellent Stockpot

"This hestan stock pot is so high end you can feel it by just looking at the finishings and by the feel and balance of it. It performs even better. It has outstanding heat retention. I filled the pot with hot water in the sink to let it soak up leftover soup residue and walked away for 1. 5H. When I returned, the pot was still warm!"

— Andrew L. (5/5)

Really pleased with this pan

"We got the forged skillet and it looks so beautiful! The brushed finish is really nice and it seems to be very high quality! Excited for this pan to be cooked with!"

— Jane A. (5/5)

I purchased the 12 quart

"I purchased the 12 quart stockpot and have no regrets. What an amazing stockpot! The quality is beyond what words can describe for perfection in craftsmanship. 12 quarts of homemade spaghetti sauce and cleanup was a breeze. Nothing stuck to the bottom. My biggest fear of cooking with stainless steel was for nothing. Thank you Hestan for making the best stockpot!!"

— Deborah G. (5/5)

super saucier

"This saucier is used so often that it sits permanently on top of my stove. It's the perfect size at 3. 5 qts"

— M M. (5/5)

The perfect sauté pan

"No doubt this is one of the best sauté pans available. Superior to Made-in, AlClad or LeCreuset. (And I have all there of these products). I use this on an induction range- heats up evenly and fast. Easy clean up. Outstanding appearance. Couldn’t be happier."

— Anthony P. (5/5)

Saucepan

"I have enjoyed using this pan on a regular basis. I’m very pleased with the lower center of gravity the wider pan provides. I have an induction stove and I’m have enjoyed how responsive the pan is to temperature adjustments."

— Eric W. (5/5)

"I love having pans the perfect size for the task. I purchased this as an extra for making single portions of oatmeal and Cream of Wheat. I use this pan frequently so if one's in the dishwasher I have another on the ready."

— JCruz (5/5)

Titum Nonstick polished clad stainless skillet

"Excellent quality, love the nonstick surface. The handle does not seem to get as hot as some other Hestan pans that I own. I think it may have to do with the opening where the handle meets the pan. My other Hestan pan handles do not have that opening in the handle."

— Karen M. (5/5)
