Thirty centimetres is one of the more versatile formats for a sauté pan. Straight side profile, sufficient depth for a decent amount of liquid and a cooking surface that holds four chicken breasts, a whole fish or a large batch of vegetables without them crowding each other. With a lid it becomes a braising format that can start on the hob and finish in the oven.
Hestan's NanoBond bonds thousands of titanium-based nano-layers to the surface of 18/10 steel at a molecular level via a vacuum chamber procedure in an oxygen-free environment at extremely high temperature. Titanium and chromium-based alloys are permanently fused with the steel structure without lying on top of it. The surface is four times harder than the underlying 18/10 steel, non-porous and non-reactive. Titanium belongs to the most chemically inert metals available and is used in medical implants precisely because it does not react with organic matter. Acidic ingredients such as tomatoes, wine and citrus do not react with the surface and give no metallic flavour. The titanium surface is free from synthetic coating agents and withstands metal utensils, metal spatulas and steel wool without surface damage.
