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 detergents are highly corrosive and can damage the cookware over time.

Wonderful non-stick if heated appropriately. Great build quality. Easy to clean.

The moment you pick it up you can tell its quality! Recently bought several items along with this and you can tell these things will last a lifetime. Supports American workers and non-toxic quality cookware. What is not to like!

Great to cook with This is my third pan that I’ve purchased and I love it ! It evenly cooks food, and cleans easily. I always heat the pan first, then add a thin layer of oil, let that heat and then add food - I think this helps the pan be more non stick and helps it stay nice looking longer and helps when cleaning.

Love this pan! Our first set is over 30 years old and we are still using them, but seeing the "newer models" makes us want to buy more to add to our collection. The quality is outstanding and the fact that everything is made in the USA is exactly why we bought it. Keep up the great work!

The cookware set looks fantastic and is so easy to clean. The cookware heats up very quickly and stays perfectly flat. They arrived quickly and in perfect condition We are very happy with them!

Excellent products and service. I got this set as a gift to myself and I’ve been very impressed compared to my previous pans which were admittedly very cheap. They heat much faster and more evenly and the heavier pans hold a lot of heat that lets me sear my food. One pan had a defect but when I emailed warranty I got a replacement sent with no fuss immediately.

Excellent pan. I have other steel pans but you can notice the quality difference with the heritage steel. Look forward to using it for many years.

So glad with my purchase. Recently purchased an induction range, and this cookware completes it! The quality is nice, cooks evenly, and perfect every single time. Made a chocolate ganache today in it, could not have asked for a better outcome.

★★★★★
I love that the skillets are heavy-duty. Although I'm still getting used to using them, verses non-stick, I'm enjoying the even heating. And although they aren't non-stick, they are really easy to clean! I'm happy that I'm no longer poisoning my family with the residue from the non-stick type cookware. I highly reccommend this brand!

This pan has a brilliant balanced cooking surface. The weight distribution from the handle to the pan is smartly engineered. I am thoroughly impressed with this product, in both its aesthetic and performance.

Love the pans! Durable and look great. Cooked the best fried eggs ever without sticking. Follow the heating/cooking instructions! The pans cleaned up great with dish soap and bartenders in heavier cooking spots.

I was cooking in this pot within an hour of receiving it. I have to say that I am even more impressed with this pot than I ever expected to be. The size is perfect, and the quality is excellent. I really like the extra handle on the side - I needed to strain my food and this made it so easy. Great job Heritage Steel, once again you have not disappointed me.

We love our new set and we look forward to a lifetime of use. We've been through countless sets the past 13 years and finally could afford something that wont need replaced. Already its proven to be able to keep up with our cooking (im a terrible cook) its easy to maintain and clean!

This is a great looking and working saucier! I've been using it regularly and it's really well made and easy to clean. The size is perfect. The fact that it is made in the USA is the best part! I highly recommend these pans!!

Lisa C | Jun 8, 2026

★★★★★
So far I’ve cooked with each piece of this kit at least one time, and honestly it’s a game changer. I’ve had no issues with anything sticking (just follow the directions they give you) and they clean up great. I would 100% recommend this product to anyone looking to up their game in the kitchen and switch to stainless steel.

Chris K | Jun 9, 2026

Having put the full set to the test, I can confidently say these are exceptionally made and elevated my cooking! Care is a breeze (but be sure to read the notes included!), and they look amazing.

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.
