Thomas Keller Insignia’s exceptional materials and design combine for unparalleled function. The pure aluminum ProCore™ delivers 35% greater heat conduction than typical stainless. The shape of the sidewalls creates 20% more cooking surface area in our sauté pans – which allows for better-balanced heat transfer and faster heat recovery as you add large ingredients.

Thomas Keller Insignia’s high-grade stainless steel cleans easily while thoughtful design details prevent food buildup to begin with. The innovative seamless handle eliminates one of the hardest-to-clean crevices. Likewise, flush rivets repel residue on the interior. Steel-encased sealed rims will never split into sharp edges, a very literal pain point on most cookware. Every piece of the collection is metal-utensil safe and dishwasher safe – even our TITUM™ nonstick.

Sustainability and functionality were priorities for Chef Keller. So each piece is designed to deliver the utmost versatility while simultaneously eliminating the waste over-specialized and seldom-used cookware. Universal lids reduce both manufacturing materials and kitchen clutter.

Cooking capacity was increased by going wider, not taller – which may be less cost-effective, but is much more heat-effective. This creates more contact with the heat source for better conduction as well as greater cooking surface are within the pan for balanced heat distribution and faster heat recovery.
