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.

I've been using my new Heritage stainless steel pan for a few weeks now, and I'm beyond impressed! Heat distribution is superb, and it sears meats to perfection. Cleanup is easy, and it still looks brand new after multiple uses. I simply had to trust the process of how to use them properly. A must-have for any kitchen!

So far, this set has very much impressed me. I'm not at all a professional cook, and this set is the first higher-end set I've owned. It has seemed very well-made, and the pots heat up water to a boil far faster than any pots I've owned before. So far, these have been a pleasure to work with. Thank you for the awesome cookware.

Food cooks evenly the bacon is nice and crispy where ever its at in the pan! Cleanup is so easy no hard scrubbing which really surprised me. I'm so glad I threw all of my no stick cookware in the trash and switched to the Stainless Steel Heritage Ware!

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.

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 wish I would have heard about Heritage sooner! I bought this 12” pan to add to another stainless collection I had that only featured a 10” pan and wasn’t quite big enough for a large family without having to cook in batches. This pan has been my go-to every night since I received it, and the quality far exceeds that of my original set from a large (and overpriced) manufacturing company that has outsourced to China for fabrication.

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.
