ProBond Collection - TITUM 100% Triple Bonded Nonstick Stainless Steel Frying Pan, Induction Cooktop Compatible, 11-Inch

The coating on my Hexclad 12" pan started to come off and I got this as a replacement. Good news is the cover for the Hexclad pan is a perfect fit for the Hestan pan. I like a glass top when I'm cooking so I can see what's going on. So if you are having trouble with your Hexclad pan and want to keep the cover, this is a good alternative. BTW, it is a really nice pan and is certainly non-stick. Time will tell if it stays being non-stick. I suspect it will because, so far, not matter what I cook, I can clean it off with just a sponge and dishwashing soap. I've put it on my calendar to update this review in two years.

Love this Hesten frying pan. Cooks well, easy to wash and clean.

I read about Hestan cookware 2 years ago and let the idea of buying percolate. For no reason at all I recently checked out the skillets on Amazon and found a couple on sale. It was Now or Never and I made the plunge. Their heft surprised me out of the box but I was more impressed at how stable they are on my stove. They are absolutely flat no matter how I rotate them while cooking. That is an amazing pleasure: my old skillets tilted ever so slightly but enough to be a nuisance. I'm already quite attached to my Hestans. They were worth the wait.

I've purchased many Hestan pieces of cookware from the ProBond and NanoBond collections, and so far, I'm very happy with them. Then again, for the price, it would be criminal to deliver a subpar product. Regarding this piece specifically, I use it on an induction cook top, and while the area around the coil is definitely hotter than the rest of the skillet, there's really nothing to be done about it, and it hasn't caused any problems. The skillet does scream a little when you first turn on the induction cook top, or any time you adjust the temperature up significantly, but only for a short time. All of the Hestan pieces do this. Cooking with it is a pleasure, and the non-stick surface really delivers. A drop or two of oil and eggs will just slide around on it. Cleaning is mostly achieved by spraying it off in the sink once it's cooled down. I'll scrub it lightly with a soapy soft nylon brush and any stubborn food residue comes right off. The only exception to this is the material covering the grommets holding the handle to the skillet base. Those are not remotely non-stick and require more vigorous scrubbing with the aforementioned nylon brush to get clean. I'll probably start spraying just those with non-stick spray in the future in hopes to reduce the effort required to clean them. I use one of the lids from a pot in the ProBond collection when needed with this skillet and it fits perfectly. Just something to consider if you have their other products handy. This review is for the large non-stick skillet, but everything in it holds true for the two smaller sizes as well. I have all three, and even at their price, have no regrets.

Super easy to clean. Heats up fast. Food tastes great
