Cooking "Bliss"

"I have been so frustrated over the years trying to find a good set of pots and pans. I waited to write this review until I performed my ultimate test...scrambled eggs!

The eggs hit the pan and I started to stir. The eggs did not stick at all and a moment of pure bliss enveloped me. I do not normally hold a place in my heart for materials things. However, I told my fiancé that if he touches these pans he may see his life flash before his eyes.

In all seriousness, these pots and pans are great quality and perform better than anything I have tried in the past. I highly recommend this product line!"

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.

One cook in and I'm loving the capacity and evenness of the heat. Looking forward to many more enjoyable meals made from this quality cookware.
Titanium Series 12 Quart Stock Pot with Lid
Gordon H. | Dec 1, 2024
★★★★★
I bought this pan to try it out because I believe that current non-stick technology is more convenient, but also wasteful and potentially dangerous. In the long run, it is much more expensive than your product. I’m still in the learning curve, but I love the fact that I don’t need to buy another one! I’ve already purchased one of your 1.5 quart mini sauté titanium series since I’ve written this review. I encourage everyone to buy cookware from Heritage Steel, and thank you for doing what is right in the face of competition. I vote for Heritage Steel with my pocketbook, and I encourage you to do the same if you want to have quality products into the future.
Titanium Series 10.5

Have used my new 10.5” frypan for eggs, steak and chicken. When properly heated and oiled it’s hard to beat the results. I also have a 12” Titanium Series frying pan and they complement each other very well.

Absolutely top quality cookware. An example of how "Made in America" makes a difference. The Eater x Heritage Steel line is excellent. Extremely well made, super comfortable, and stylishly utilitarian.

★★★★★
I admittedly fell into the Caraway pan trap 2 years ago but my eyes have since been open. High quality, 5-ply, American made stainless steel is the best non-toxic and environmentally sustainable option because you won't have to replace it every couple years. Heritage Steel is a small business that employs American workers and produces incredibly high quality pans. I'll buy from Heritage Steel any day over Made In or All Clad because I believe in what they're doing and they make my kitchen life a whole lot better!

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.

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.
