CopperBond® Aura combines the performance of traditional copper with features that make it easier to cook with and care for. Unlike classic copper cookware with a tin lining, Aura has a super-fine satin stainless steel interior that's durable, easy to maintain, and suitable for high-heat cooking. It also includes thoughtful details like flush rivets, reinforced rims, and seamless handles designed to make cooking and cleaning easier.
Copper is known for how quickly it responds to changes in temperature. It heats up and cools down faster than most cookware materials, giving you more control over your cooking. That's especially helpful for recipes like sauces, seafood, caramel, and other dishes where precise temperature changes matter. CopperBond® Aura is designed for home cooks who enjoy refining their technique and want cookware that responds as quickly as they do.
Yes. While CopperBond® Aura is designed for cooks who want the precision that copper offers, it's also practical enough for everyday use.

CopperBond® Aura is handcrafted in Italy by skilled artisans and designed in Napa, California. It combines generations of Italian copper craftsmanship with Hestan's approach to thoughtful design and engineering.
CopperBond® Aura performs especially well for recipes that benefit from precise temperature control, including fish and seafood, eggs, delicate sauces, caramel, risotto, and reductions. Its quick response to heat gives you greater control throughout the cooking process, making it a great choice for cooks who enjoy techniques where precision makes a difference.
Traditional copper cookware often uses a tin lining, which requires more care and limits high-heat cooking. CopperBond® Aura uses a super-fine satin stainless steel interior instead, making it more durable, easier to maintain, and suitable for higher cooking temperatures while still delivering the responsiveness copper is known for.
CopperBond® Aura combines high-quality materials, Italian craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. From its 1.5 mm copper exterior to its stainless steel interior and carefully designed details, every piece is made to deliver precise performance and long-lasting durability for cooks who want to get the most out of copper cookware.
No. CopperBond® Aura is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed for use on gas and electric cooking surfaces.
To help maintain its appearance and performance, we recommend hand washing your CopperBond® Aura cookware. Like all natural copper, the exterior will gradually develop a patina and may darken over time with use and exposure to heat. This is normal and won't affect cooking performance. If you prefer the original polished look, you can restore it with a copper polish. Fingerprints may also appear on the polished copper surface and can be wiped away with a soft cloth.
Yes. CopperBond® Aura is backed by Hestan's Lifetime Warranty, reflecting our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful engineering, and cookware built to perform for generations.
Copper is valued because it responds very quickly to changes in temperature. It heats and cools almost immediately as you adjust the burner, giving you more control throughout the cooking process. That responsiveness can make a noticeable difference when preparing recipes that rely on precise heat, from delicate sauces to seared proteins.
The copper lids with stainless steel interior match the performance and craftsmanship of the cookware while helping create a consistent look across the collection. They're made with the same attention to detail as the rest of the collection and are designed to fit securely while complementing the cookware's overall design.
