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 recently got the Heritage Steel pan and I’m really impressed. It feels solid and hefty in hand like something built to last. Food sears nicely, and cleanup is easy: just cool down, soak a bit, and it wipes clean without chemical residue. I also like that it’s totally chemical-free no sticky coatings, no toxic finishes so cooking feels cleaner and more natural. Definitely a keeper.

Stop buying non stick and celebrity sets when you can buy quality, made in the USA, stainless steel cookware. I use to buy nonstick but started using cast iron and wanted something a little lighter and easier to clean options. I love my cast iron but use my stainless just as much. Once you figure it out, both are just as easy as non stick, healthy for you, and will last a lifetime.

When we made the decision to replace all of our older Teflon coated cookware with stainless steel, we did a lot of research into the various options. Ultimately we choose Heritage Steel Eater series. After using the new cookware for a couple of weeks, my wife loves it. Everything cooks very evenly and the cookware is surprisingly easy to clean. Finally we have a set of cookware that will last a lifetime and allow the use of metal utensils without fear of scratching the finish. We bought directly from Heritage and the process was seamless. Everything arrived promptly and well packed. We highly recommend this excellent, American made cookware.

Never cooked with stainless before. Decided to jump in after doing some research on how to cook with stainless. First try was tuna steaks. Nice even cook and sear. Fried eggs next and then scrambled. No issues sticking and really happy with the results first time out. Grilled cheese sandwich tonight. I tell my kids I’m the grilled sandwich master. Maybe the best grilled cheese I’ve ever made. Really loving these pans.

I buy the Titanium series pots and pans from Heritage Steel. The 316 stainless steel is top of the line stainless steel. Cooking with them is so easy, and they clean up just as easy if not easier than those non stick pans. If your looking to cook food a lot healthier, give Heritage Steel a try. You won't be disappointed. Stainless and cast iron in my eyes are the healthiest way to cook.

For my first stainless steel pan - I wanted something high quality and top of the line. I’m happy I went with Heritage Steel. The 8.5in fry pan is perfect for quick things and the 10.5in has been great for everything else. Perfect size for my smaller 1970s electric stove. Was planning on slowly replacing all my non-stick pieces but after using these pans - I’ve expedited the process. Never going back to non-stick again.

We are super happy with our 10 piece Eater set. The quality is excellent and the cooking performance is amazing. It outperforms anything we’ve ever had. Take the time to learn the proper ways to cook in stainless steel and you will love every cook. It’s a really good feeling to have something that is crafted from the hands of small town American workers. It makes cooking for the family even more special.

I had been reviewing the Heritage Steel Eater Series products for months before I made the decision to actually purchase the 12" fry pan with the lid. Now that I have it, I wish that I had not waited so long to make my purchase. I have followed the cooking directions included in the shipment & so far, absolutely no sticking on anything that I have cooled.

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

I’ve been looking to buy stainless steel cookware for sometime now. After reading reviews on Heritage Steel, I finally went for it. These are well made pots and pans that I intend to use for many years. Glad I made the investment because that’s what this purchase is; it’s an investment.

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.

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.
