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.

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.

Built to Last

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.
