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

Interior flush rivets prevent food buildup, allowing for easy cleaning. Pieces nest neatly within each other for practical storage.

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.

Stainless steel frying pans and lids are neatly arranged in the bottom rack of an open dishwasher. The dishwasher is located in a modern kitchen setting with wooden cabinets in the background.

Reviews

2 qt saucier pan

"The Hestan Conceirge, Michael, was essential in picking the collection and in helping me build a perfect set. I am delighted with my Luxe Probond skillets, sauciers and my dutch oven. I looked at several top line manufacturers and Hestan really has everything I was looking for, especialy the quality and style. Cooking with my new cookware has been fun and is a breeze to clean. TITUM skillets are a great addition to my all steel pans. Luxe Probond is beautiful cookware. You will be 100% satisfied with your purchase and Hestan level of support. Larry P"

— Larry P. (5/5)

Much better than All clad

"My wife can burn water so I really need some sort of non stick pans around the house. We have been using All clad for years now for their stainless pans. We purchased a couple non stick pans for eggs and such. They didn’t last long at all. I have been on the hunt for a much better non stick pan and we have finally found them. They work wonderfully and I don’t think my wife is able to get food to stick to them yet!"

— Joe K. (5/5)

Better than we imagined

"These pots and pans are insanely good. We didn’t expect that much of an upgrade from our very good cast iron, stainless steel, and copper bottom stainless steel ones, but these are totally next level. Everything seems to cook faster and more evenly. They’re also a breeze to clean."

— Venu P. (5/5)

Stylish with good quality

"I've had the Hestan nano bound, probound pan, baking pan and pot. All of them are in good qualities. They are also easy to maintain, healthier with high heat cooking. I would recommend the products."

— Xiao L. (5/5)

Best Cookware Ever!

"My Hestan is the best feeling cookware I have ever had the pleasure to own. I started with bakeware and now have my cookware set. I love it!"

— Scott S. (5/5)

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)

Love my Hestan Titum Nonstick pans

"I recently upgraded all my cookware to Hestan Nanobond stainless which I love BUT, my husband wanted a non-stick. I first bought the 11" but we love it so much I invested in the 8". So glad I made this investment!"

— elizabeth g. (5/5)

Planning to buy more. They are that good.

"My first stainless steel pans. Beautiful, functional, all around exceptional. I am going to replace all my non stick cookware with Hestan! I expect them to last a lifetime. Worth the price tag."

— Debolina D. (5/5)

Great pan

"I am slowly replacing certain of my All Clad saucepans with Hestan. They are much easier to work with and to stir easily into the corners."

— Virginia H. (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)
