Know before you buy
Cold-forging allows the stainless steel to be shaped with thinner sidewalls without sacrificing durability. This design maximizes your usable cooking surface area while maintaining the structural integrity needed for even heat distribution.
Yes. Because the rivets are flush with the interior surface of the pan, there is no gap for food particles or grease to get trapped. This makes wiping down the interior significantly faster and more hygienic.
Absolutely. The ProBond collection is fully compatible with all cooktop types, including induction, gas, and electric, thanks to its responsive stainless steel and aluminum core construction.
Yes, the entire set is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. You can confidently move your pans from the stovetop directly into the oven or under the broiler to finish dishes.
The ProBond set is 100% dishwasher safe. While hand washing is often recommended to maintain the exterior shine of stainless steel over time, these pans are built to withstand the dishwasher without damage.
The set includes a comprehensive range of essentials: various sizes of frying pans, saucepans, a sauté pan, and a large stockpot, all paired with their respective stainless steel lids.
