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.

This is the best stainless steel pan I have ever used. I will be ordering the complete kitchen set. We needed new pans for new induction stove top. The pan works very well with our new stove, and cleans up easily.

Heritage steel is my number one choice for highest quality stainless steel cooking pans on the market. I have pans from Heritage steel that are three years old and look brand new and I just love cooking with them.

I’ve been replacing my old, flaking nonstick cookware with nontoxic stainless. I’ve read and watched lots of videos on how to cook in stainless since I understand there is a learning curve to it. This pan is a beast - the 12” pan replaced my 10” pan, so it’s a good deal larger than what I was used to. Its trial by fire was French toast- not only did it turn out fabulous, the large size meant I wasn’t t making just one piece at a time! I was cranking those suckers out.

As with all Heritage cookware, appreciate excellent quality, family owned, made in the USA and clean healthy cooking. Absolutely love this sauteuse pan. Love its shine and shape. My only two regrets are that I didn’t purchase an entire set of cookware to begin with and that I didn’t purchase the larger sauteuse pan (I want to use it for everything)!

Cooks and heats extremely evenly. We are new to stainless steel and will have a little bit of a learning curve, but after following directions and watching a few videos, it is actually pretty easy. Not sure why we waited so long to make the switch.

I’ve considered making the switch to less toxic cookware for quite a while now, & I’m sure glad I did. This set has everything I need to make breakfast for 1 or dinner for 5. It heats evenly whether you’re on electric or gas & cooks like no other.

I have waited to write this review due to I don't like to online shop and wanted to use my pans first. I can not express how great these pans are. From the moment I have placed the order, communicate has been spot on. Pans arrive, well crafted and easy to cook with. This company is everything they say. I tell everyone I know! You will continue to have my business. Thank you!

The pans are amazing, heavy duty and so much nicer than non stick toxic pans. It took a couple of tries but then it was like magic. Nothing stuck to it. I’ve never had luck with metal pans in the past, but these steel pans are the best thing ever.

Once you learn how to cook with the product, it does an excellent job. I cooked two eggs as a first use and there was no sticking.

The pan exceeded my expectations. I was really surprised how nice it was to have even heating. No hot spots! The cleanup is easy also. Cool it -quick soak and it cleans up easily. We are going to replace all of our chemical-laden dry pans with these superior pans. 👍

OK so I waited a little while before doing this review because I wanted to see how I liked this cookware. Well, I have to say I am VERY pleased with my purchase. They are well made and sturdy. I have to admit it took a little bit to learn about how to cook on stainless steel as opposed to a non-stick pan. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I wish I had this cookware set 20 years ago. I'm really enjoying cooking with them. I appreciate the use and care instructions because I had a stainless frying pan from a different company and everything I cooked in it stuck to the pan. It was so frustrating. With the Eater X Heritage Steel frying pan I can scramble eggs and they practically slide out of the pan. I plan to add to my 10 piece set soon!
