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 Insignia collections are made of tri-ply 18/10 stainless steel with our exclusive pure aluminum ProCore™ that delivers 35% greater heat conduction.

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 Insignia 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
- Insignia 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.

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 aluminium 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.

How to Clean

Reviews
ProBond Skillet - great performance
"I previously had purchased the CopperBond 11 inch skillet and was pleased with it. I wanted another skillet in stainless steel. The stainless steel is lighter than the copper and it is easier to clean than the copper. I like cooking in the copper skillet for special occasions where I have more time to do a proper polishing. The stainless steel ProBond is a great every day skillet. It has a nice light weight, good handle, and flush rivets. I really enjoy cooking eggs in the skillet."
❤️👏
"I already have a pan from the same line and I just love to have another especially when it’s on offer. It’s beautiful and good quality product which I enjoy using. It’s also so easy to clean."
Fantastic pans
"Unbelievable quality. For a non stick pan if you heat 1st the add oil then cook. Ive done sea bass sausages fillet steak and with a rinse under hot tap they come 90% clean. A little wipe round with bar keepers friend they come up as new. Not tried in dish washer yet. When on special offer and the 10% welcome discount a good deal. Just ordered wok and colander."
questionable QC and poor customer service
"I bought 2 items directly from the Hestan website. The first was 3. 5 qt probond forged essential pan. The interior finish was a little on the rough side but I liked it enough that I ordered a 5qt probond Luxe saute pan. Nicer interior on the Luxe, however, as other reviewers have experienced, the helper handle was not mounted directly opposite the handle, and was more to one side. No response after reaching out to customer service. I would advise only purchasing if you can inspect the cookware first, or buying from a retailer with better customer service instead of directly from Hestan."
