Innovative Culinary Brand, Hestan, Launches First True Innovation In Stainless Steel Cookware In Over 100 Years

Since its introduction to the kitchen over 100 years ago, there's been no significant innovation to stainless steel cookware - often known for tarnishing when exposed to high heat and easily scratching. For culinary professionals and enthusiasts alike, NanoBond brings the most advanced technology to the kitchen, delivering a full line of cookware that introduces modern science to timeless culinary craftsmanship with molecular titanium. NanoBond offers incredible resilience, lasting beauty and the cleanability to maintain its brilliance for generations.

NanoBond leverages a patented titanium based nano-technology that creates thousands of superdense nano layers of titanium alloys bonded to stainless steel. This enables the cookware surface to be four times harder than typical stainless steel. The result is a chemical free, extremely durable cookware that's resistant to staining, scratching, salt pitting and provides superior performance. Thanks to a pure aluminum core, it is also 35 percent more conductive than other aluminum clad cookware.

"As visionary culinary professionals, we examined the industry and worked with the most revered chefs, engineers and scientists to uncover what was missing in culinary cookware," said Stanley Cheng, Founder/Proprietor of Hestan. "By blending innovative technology with culinary expertise we were able to create a cookware line unlike anything the industry has ever seen."

Beginning tomorrow, NanoBond will be available for purchase exclusively at Williams Sonoma and williams-sonoma.com.

"Hestan is truly a leader in innovation, redefining what's possible in the culinary space for professional chefs and home cooks alike," said Janet Hayes, President of Williams Sonoma.  "As the exclusive launch partner of NanoBond, we witnessed Stanley and the Hestan team perfect every detail of this revolutionary cookware line, exceeding all expectations in terms of performance and durability. After much anticipation, we are thrilled to bring it to market and share it with our customers."
