so I don't dislike the hestan yeah I think it's a fine pan yeah I don't know if it would be worth the money yeah that's the thing for me too because it is titanium and I'm sure there's some cost that goes in there and they hold the patent for it so I'm assuming they can charge essentially whatever similar to like new…

one thing I will say which is something that they do claim is that you can barely scratch this and I'll say I'm going like I'm not reefing on this guy with this fish bat but there is like no scratching on the surface whatsoever which I realize when it comes to actually cooking it has nothing to do with how it's going…

somebody's coming in to look for a quote nonstick piece of cookware. I always want to invite them into a conversation about Nano Bond.

The second benefit is that because the surface is so hard and non-porous, it’s ultra-smooth. So you get slightly better non-stick properties than a typical steel pan.

Another thing you should know before buying Hestan is that after a few uses, they won't look as sparkling and shiny as they do when you take them out of the box. Because NanoBond pans have a slick, polished finish, fingerprints and smudges are very noticeable. The brushed finish on ProBond pans does a better job…

All that said, there’s one thing I really don’t like about these handles. And that’s this large hanging loop at the end. It’s nice to be able to hang the pan from a hook, but the hole is unnecessarily large. This big opening, combined with the thinness of the handle, makes it uncomfortable to hold at the end. There's…

he did like the weight of it comparatively you didn't like the way yeah I'm actually at a tripod yeah even as a tri-fly like I was saying that this small smaller eight inch pan is a similar weight to the All-Clad D5 which is technically a five plot so just in that too is saying something

When we put that titanium surface down on top of the stainless steel, we end up with a glass-like surface.

The knife made a significant gouge in the ProBond pan. It also scratched the NanoBond pan but the damage wasn't as bad.
