30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASEThere is a reason copper has dominated professional kitchens since the French invented the modern restaurant kitchen: nothing else responds faster to heat. CopperBond is Hestan's finest material, five bonded layers with a core of pure copper, surrounded by aluminium and finished with 18/10 stainless steel. These are the cookware pieces Thomas Keller chose for The French Laundry and Per Se, his three-star restaurants in Napa Valley and New York. At Hestan, they are made by hand in their own factory in Italy.
What does copper mean in practice? The temperature rises when you turn up the flame and drops when you turn it down. Aluminium stores heat; copper conducts it. The difference is most apparent with sauces, egg-based preparations and everything else that demands precision rather than brute force, but also with simpler tasks: pasta water comes to a boil faster, meat browns more evenly, nothing burns at the edge while the centre is still cool.
The set contains ten pieces: frying pans, saucepans with lids, a sauté pan with lid and a stockpot with lid. All induction-safe, oven-safe to 315 degrees. Lifetime guarantee. Exact included pieces are listed in the product information. Hand-washing recommended to preserve the finish.
