Hestan Culinary Pans

These are the pans that Thomas Keller, 3-Michelin Star Chef, cooks with every day. Choose Hestan NanoBond for durability, chef-level performance at home, and naturally toxin-free.

‘I’ve found it: the unbeatable pan.’ These were the words we were met with the day cookware specialist, Kristin, first tried the Hestan NanoBond frying pan. We've never seen her so excited about a product. Ever.

Kristin tested the pan rigorously for 12 months after discovering Hestan's NanoBond, and on day 365 it was still as good as new. Multiple runs through the dishwasher; wire-brush scrubbing; stints on the BBQ.

Both CopperBond and NanoBond have won numerous Red Dot Design awards.

Why Hestan NanoBond?

Unrivalled durability – NanoBond pans are crafted from thousands of bonded layers of stainless steel and titanium, creating a surface that’s 400% harder than traditional stainless steel — resistant to scratches, tarnish, and even high-heat cooking.
Chef-level performance at home – With pure aluminum sealed inside the pan’s core, heat distributes fast and evenly from edge to edge, giving you precise control whether you’re searing steak or simmering sauce.
Naturally non-porous & toxin-free – The seamless cooking surface is completely non-reactive, so it won’t leach metals or alter flavours — ideal for acidic dishes like tomato sauces and wine reductions.
Polished for life – The brilliant, mirror-like finish stays gleaming after every use and is dishwasher safe. It won’t discolour or degrade over time, so your pans look showroom-new, year after year.

NanoBond is adored in the food world

The pans are loved by everyone else who tests them too:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘It’s just extraordinary: durable, versatile, and aesthetically beautiful.’ Thomas Keller, The French Laundry

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘These are some of the most performant, resilient pieces of cookware on the planet.’ Bryn Jackson, Cult Flav

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘I reach for the pan more than anything else in my kitchen (and it still looks great after all that use.)’ Chris Morocco, Bon Appétit

... every customer review this year is five stars too! Dominic M. says "For once something that lives up to the promotional hype! A magnificant pan, heats and cooks evenly & looks magnificent!!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Why Hestan CopperBond?

The power of copper, reimagined – With a thick, pure copper core layered between stainless steel, CopperBond delivers the rapid heat response chefs love — without the usual maintenance fuss.
Precision cooking, induction-ready – Unlike traditional copper pans, CopperBond works on all cooktops (including induction) thanks to its innovative bonded base — giving you pro-level performance, wherever you cook.
Striking style meets serious strength – A polished copper exterior paired with durable stainless steel creates a pan that’s as beautiful as it is resilient — engineered to turn heads and take the heat.
