I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new cookware! It cooks and cleans-up like a dream. They are much lighter than my Professional Calphalon, have zero Teflon coating, and are an absolute joy to cook with. Makes me smile every time I cook with them! This is my first time with high-end cookware. I started researching non-teflon cookware and discovered the Hestan brand. I loved the aesthetic of the nanobond with the titanium coating. I also loved the very thoughtful design features, and the subtle elegance of the styling on the handles and lid handles. Also, the Hestan stainless cleaner is amazing. Just a little goes a long way, and makes my cookware look brand new every time.
