Hestan - ProBond Collection - Professional Clad Stainless Steel Frying Pan Induction Cooktop Compatible 8 5-Inch

I've been cooking a lot more these past few years so I decided to spend on quality cookware. I did research online to see how the different brands stacked up against one another. Based on what I read and watched I went with Hestan. The day I received it I was so excited to try out my new frying pan. I have never made chicken parmesan before, but decided today was the day. I warmed the pan on medium heat for a few minutes, poured in my olive oil and soon after I dropped in the first piece of chicken. It made a wonderful sizzling sound. No food stuck to the pan and everything cooked evenly. The weight of the pan isn't too much to handle, and I like the overall craftsmanship. Cleaning wasn't too difficult, either. I plan to slowly grow my collection as I am very impressed so far. Read more

No one can argue about Hestan quality and perfection. If you want a life time investment this is the right choice Read more

I thought for paying so much money that it would perform as such, but I was wrong...I know it's non stick but thought the pan would not stick asthus bad..I saw other reviews saying this was the best but trust me it's not...The pan will yellow when you first use it and good luck trying to get rid of it...Heat distribution is good but that's all I can say about it...It's not easy to clean but quality seems like it will last a long time since it's steel...I though this was going to be the pan forever since I wanted to get away from non stick pans but I guess I have to look around for another steel pan...If you want a pan that will last forever and not worry about chemicals like teflon and ok with stickiness and more cleaning than usual, then this is for you....

We added this to the arsenal after my husband deemed our 15 year old skillet was too warped (it was). We had gotten a set of D3 All-Clad, but did not have a 12” skillet he liked. This fit the bill perfectly. Comfortable handle, easy to clean, good performance and seems to resist staining better than our other SS pans. Planning to add more Hestan into the mix as we retire other pans. Read more

Hestan cookware are a real treat to cook with; very comfotable. But if you have a glassn cooktop the "Brand" name on the bottom of the pan is sligthly raised and can scratch a glass cooktop.. I love the pans so I decided to polish [sand] the raised area very easy. Hestan can easily fix the issue; I hope they do! Note: the titainium non stick does not appear to have this issue Read more

I definely have no problem with the Hestan ProBond steel frying pan. After using this pan for over a year it still looks brand new. I just rub dishwasher soap on it about once a week. Read more

Like the overall design. Sides are more vertical and less likely to splash. The material is of some of the best quality. I have lots of stainless cookware and this is my favorite. Kinda pricey but very well made and with the investment Read more

I bought this pan many months ago as a christmas gift. After a few uses, the pan suddenly bent on medium heat while cooking. I requested a replacement from hestan, they informed me it was under warranty and that they would replace it, however they didn't have any in stock. That was on April 1st. They told me stock would return by early may. For the past 2 months I've been reaching out regularly for updates to no response. They refuse to ship the replacement, they refuse to communicate. DO NOT BUY FROM HESTAN! THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ATROCIOUS! Read more
