designed for performance & durability

5 ply construction

cooking surface

Made from 304 stainless steel (also known as 18/10), this alloy creates a stable, durable, and fully non-toxic cooking surface.

aluminum core

Fully sandwiched between layers of stainless steel, the 3 layer aluminum core evenly & efficiently spreads heat throughout the pan.

ferritic exterior

Made from 400 series stainless steel, this layer has a higher iron content to increase its magnetic properties and make the pan induction-ready.

fully clad

Unlike less reliable forms of stainless steel cookware, our 5-ply construction extends throughout the entire body of the cookware rather than just the bottom. That is, it has fully clad construction rather than just a slab bottom.

For fry pans and skillets, this means that both the sides and bottom are evenly heated and can be used for cooking. For saucepans and stock pots, the result is faster heating and all-sides cooking.

over 40 years of american manufacturing

Running a quality-obsessed factory here in the USA is hard.

Why have we kept at it?

The

Product

By making these pans right here, we get full control over all the details and processes. If something isn’t up to our standards, we can improve it. We’re continually refining our manufacturing, ensuring that every pan is reliably high quality.

The

People

We’re a small team, a good portion of which has worked here for decades. These colleagues are our friends and neighbors, and our factory relies on their expertise, knowledge, and hard work to keep producing great products year after year.

3 generations

family-owned & operated

Making and selling cookware has been the Henn family business for decades. While our product has evolved over the years, our mission has not:

Make a great product, sell it at a fair price, and pay good wages to the American workers who build it. Our aim is to craft tools that help people fall in love with cooking at home.

our history of cookware

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! We use no chemical coatings of any kind, so our cookware is made without PFAS, PFOA, PTFE (Teflon), ceramic silanes, lead, cadmium, or any other crazy thing people are making cookware with these days.

No funny business here, just high quality cladded steel.

Yes! All of our cookware uses an outer layer of stainless steel that is magnetic, making it induction compatible.

Yes, our cookware is safe to use with metal utensils since we don't use any type of coating that can get scratched off. However that doesn't mean our pans are completely scratch-proof. When using metal utensils, be sure not to use anything that's especially sharp, and don't use a lot of pressure.

For everyday cooking, we recommend using wooden or silicone utensils. But for situations where metal utensils are especially useful, go ahead and use them!

We've been helping our customers maintain their cookware for over 40 years.

If any of your cookware doesn't look quite right straight out of the box, let us know! We will happily repair or replace your item at no cost to you.

If any part of your cookware ends up breaking or behaving in an unexpected way during normal cooking, just fill out a simple claim and we'll review it. As long as you're not doing anything crazy with your cookware, we'll repair or replace any pieces that have issues.

All of our cookware (including our lids) is made at our factory in Clarksville, TN. We source input materials from the US and abroad.

While we try to source from the US whenever we can, some of the specialty materials we use in our cookware aren't readily available to purchase in the US. We source our cladded steel from South Korea.

We'll always do our best to be open and transparent about our sourcing and manufacturing practices. If you have any questions, let us know!

Yes, our cookware does include nickel in its stainless steel cooking surface. Nickel is an important element in the alloy to help make the steel more corrosion resistant and durable.

For those who may be concerned about increasing dietary nickel as a result of using stainless steel cookware, there is very little need to worry. A recent study found that cooking with stainless steel results in "amounts released below known allergy-triggering thresholds". To best reduce dietary nickel, it's advisable to reduce intake of foods that are high in nickel.

Yes, our cookware does include aluminum in its core. These layers of aluminum are used to spread heat evenly and efficiently along the bottom and sides of our fully clad cookware. However, because these layers are fully sandwiched between protective layers of stainless steel, the food you're cooking will not be exposed to any aluminum.

We recommend hand washing for all of our cookware as some dishwashing detergent are highly corrosive and can damage the cookware over time.

Great quality! So happy I finally upgraded my pans. It’s nice knowing I’m cooking healthy food free of chemicals.

I’ve only tried the frying pan so far but I’ve cooked an omelette and fried eggs twice and they didn’t stick even a little!! I’m so shocked I was so nervous to switch from non stick but so happy I made the switch for healthier cooking! These are the most stunningly beautiful pans I’ve ever seen and love that it’s a family company and American made. Thank you!!

I have been wanting a stainless steel pan for years but have always been nervous about caring for it and the possibility of food sticking. After watching several videos of Heritage Pans on social media I decided to finally make the purchase. Best decision ever! I have made eggs (fried and scrambled), chicken breast, steaks and scallops. A short pre-heat of the pan and a little oil or butter and nothing has stuck. Everything came out great. Very easy cleanup after as well!! Can’t wait to buy another Heritage Pan.

Wish I found this company sooner! I was looking to replace all of my nonstick cookware and was looking for US made products. I have never cooked with stainless steel cookware, but was willing to deal with stuck on food if necessary. I followed the instructions on how to heat the pan and do the water drop test….worked like magic. No scrubbing needed, just as easy clean up as nonstick pans. I will be adding more pieces in the coming months!

I'm loving this saucier!!! It's been excellent so far for cooking rice, a few different sauces and the best caramel I've ever made. Even heating and very durable build. I can tell this is a pan that will last forever.

Josh F. | Sep 10, 2024

I am very impressed with these pans. They are well-made, and are way better than the cheap stainless steel ones I had previously. I like the fact that these pans are made in the United States.

The Search for Nontoxic Cookware is Over! Easy to clean, doesn't get scratched, and a great size for most of our cooking needs. And best of all, it's nontoxic!!! I won't buy ceramic coated pots anymore, as they get scratched so easily, even when only using silicone utensils.
