DECADES OF AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP

We're a family-owned manufacturer obsessed with building great stainless clad cookware. In fact, it's the only thing we've been making for over 40 years, so we've gotten pretty good at it.

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

crazy good quality without the crazy high markup

There are a lot of options out there for premium stainless clad cookware. We've worked really hard to combine quality materials, experienced craftsmanship, and affordable prices, all while paying good wages to the American workers who build the product.

We believe in transparency in manufacturing & marketing. If you're going to trust us to make the tools you cook with, the least we can do is provide clarity around how our products are made, the materials we use, and what your purchase helps support.

When you buy from us, the vast majority of your purchase goes to pay for the quality materials and experienced craftsmanship we put into the product. You're supporting a small family-owned business, not some massive corporation's bottom line.

All-Clad uses very specific language around where their cookware is made, saying that their cookware is "bonded, engineered & assembled in USA", but do not use the wording "Made in USA". This is likely because the US Federal Trade Commission has very strict guidelines around when a manufacturer can claim that a product is "Made in USA".

In our case, we use the "Made in USA with Global Materials" statement. The FTC calls this a "qualified statement," which is necessary given that some of the materials we use in manufacturing are imported.

For All-Clad, however, they seem to consciously avoid any type of Made in USA statement, qualified or unqualified. Why is that? It's very hard to say.

If you want to nerd out on all kinds of information about Made in USA claims you can read through the full guidelines from the FTC.

Best pans EVER! I know I’m just a Home cook, but I sure enjoy the hobby. I know from woodworking everything’s easier if you have the right tools and these are just that. My wife even remarked that nothing sticks to it as long as you follow some basic rules. These are absolutely fabulous pots and pans.

I absolutely love my Heritage Steel pans, I’ve used cast iron for decades, due to a wrist injury, it has become harder to cook and clean them. My new stainless steel pans have been absolutely perfect. I will definitely be collecting more Heritage Steel pots and pans to my kitchen.

I’ve tried so many pans over the years, always replacing them after a year. I finally made the choice for stainless steel and let me tell you I’ve tried others and they are not the same as this brand! Amazing quality!!! Follow their directions with cooking on them and you will be in love!!! So easy to use and worth every penny!!

I regret buying this set at the age of 57. I wish I had these when I got married 30 years ago. I love them. I’m so proud of them being made in the USA. I feel good that they are keeping us healthy. They clean so easily. Thank you for explaining about the dancing water trick to determine if the pan is hot enough. They are beautiful!

After careful review we decided to go with Heritage Steel. Being made in the USA was a big plus for us. Switching to stainless requires patience when cooking. The included instructions were simple to follow. The quality cannot only be measured by sight. But also by the feel of the product. We’re in love with our new set!

The performance of these pans has been exceptional. They are lovely to look at but that is a distant second consideration for me. I am nearly exclusively focused on performance, and this set delivers! What I did not expect is how very comfortable the handle ergonomics are. The handles design makes using this cookware a real pleasure.
