Hestan - NanoBond Collection - Titanium Stainless Steel 11-Inch Frying Pan - Toxin, PFAS, & Chemical Free Clean Cookware, Induction Cooktop Compatible

I e had almost every brand of pot/pan over the last 35 years. These days, I take Tefal nonstick with the detachable handles to do most of my duty for quick meals for the kids. However, I was drawn back to steel pans to be able to get a proper browning on meats and fish. My last three brands I’ve owned All Clad, Fissler and now Hestan, there is not much comparison when it comes to the details. Hestan is really just that little bit better in every area. I can still do perfectly well with the others, but especially these nanobond pans really have the nice advantage of temperature control, not too heavy, easy to manipulate, super smooth surface (not nonstick) which makes it easy to cook with and easy to clean, as well as just looking nice. I’ve only had them for a few months, but I can already tell they’re going to be with me for a while. If you’re not super price sensitive, I would suggest to start with the induction combo to be really impressed.

We purchased an entire set of nanobond pots and pans. To warrant the $2k or so expense we figured they would be a set that would last a lifetime and be a healthier alternative to traditional and much less expensive stainless steel pots. To our dismay, the pots became heavily potted and stained after the first use doing basic cooking. It happened to several pots, not just one. Soap and scrubbing would not remove it. The only thing that seemed to help was the sample cleaner that Hestan provided with one of the pots which is full of harsh chemicals. Using it to fix stains after each use defeated the purpose of us seeking a healthier alternative to stainless steel as a certain amount of residue would be likely to find it's way into our food. I contacted Hestan and received a reply via email instructing me their support was severely backed up and I would not receive a response for three weeks. Convenient for them cause this would run out my return period and leave me stuck with defective sets that I paid an arm and a leg for. Three weeks passed and there was no response. I followed up several times and still no response. We are now entering week five, no response and I'm stuck with these defective products. When you pay this much for pots and pans you expect to set that would not stain like this after the first use and at least a support that would match the price tag. I received neither of these and am very frustrated with the purchase. It's a beautiful set but the titanium branding is quite misleading as it does not stand up to basic cooking tasks and customer support is non existent. Buyers beware.

I have had this pan for about a year. I use it every day. it still looks brand new. (yes I polish it) handles 700 degree heat like a champ for a Crazy sear.non stick... YES. It's called the Leidenfrost Effect. Heat the pan to about 370 degrees F, then add oil/butter then add the food. Adding oil or food to a cold pan = dried out food that is really hard to get off the pan.

Oh. My. Goodness. SERIOUSLY!! I had been a snobby stainless steel All-Clad user for so many years - D3, D5, had it all. Got rid of it all when Hestan came into my life. If you told me that I could find something that cooks better than All-Clad, I'd have said you were nuts. When my beloved All-Clad started separating and creating razor-sharp edges, (I was so tired of cutting my fingers every time I'd wash the dishes.) I knew it was time to part ways.I started my research and came across Hestan NanoBond. Wow. Wow. Wow!!! Not only does it cook better, clean up better and look better, I can put it in the dishwasher without fear of delaminating. That's their guarantee!I don't like using traditional non-stick pans so that type was never an option for me. These amazing NanoBond pans aren't non-stick, so to speak, but they sure do behave like non-stick! Are they pricey? Super pricey. Are they worth it? YES!!! Save your pennies (and nickels, dimes and quarters) for these pans. You'll be thrilled that you did!

I did some research and discovered this exquisite design pan that I had been eagerly anticipating. However, it turned out to be a complete waste of time and money.- First, there is no way this is an 11-inch pan. Pans are typically sized up by 0.5 inches. If you're buying a 12-inch pan, it's usually 12.5 inches from side to side. This is a common practice. This pan doesn't even reach 11 inches. I'm not quite sure what rulers people use in Italy, but it seems more like a 10-inch or 10.5-inch pan. If you suspect a conversion error, they actually inform you that it's a 28cm pan, but it's not truly 28cm either.- Right out of the box, I noticed two small but very noticeable pits. This is not the level of quality control you would expect from a pan that costs over $300.- It is advertised that its surface is "400% stronger than typical stainless" and is safe for metal utensils. However, I noticed two scratches on it right out of the box. This raises the question of whether it is truly safe to use metal utensils.- Those rivets... they are nowhere near what you see in the stock image. This is clearly false advertising.- Sealed rim is another aspect they mention. You don't typically find this feature on other pans, so I was thrilled to see it in person. If you've ever used Made In or All-Clad, you'll notice the exposed aluminum, but there's definitely no gap between each layer. Their so-called sealed rim is not sealed at all; it's just bent over. There's a significant gap that can trap soup, grease, and oil every time you pour food onto your dish, making it difficult to clean over time. Disgusting!For a pan that costs more than $300, this manufacturer lacks basic quality control and does not honestly market their product. They show no decency towards their customers.

Hestan Nanobond is excellent. I treat mine like royalty and treats me the same in kind:
