What is the Hestan ProBond Forged 11-inch skillet made from?
The 11-inch skillet uses a cold-forged, tri-ply stainless-steel body with Hestan’s pure-aluminum ProCore. Hestan says the forged geometry gives the base greater thickness for heat distribution while keeping the sidewalls thinner to reduce weight.
Can the 11-inch ProBond Forged skillet be used on induction?
Hestan lists the ProBond Forged 11-inch skillet as induction compatible. The product page also presents the collection as a clad stainless-steel skillet designed for fast, even heating.
Is the skillet dishwasher safe, and how should it be cleaned?
Yes. Hestan states that ProBond is dishwasher safe and says its sealed rims are intended to prevent delamination. For stainless-steel staining or residue, the product guidance recommends the powdered version of Bar Keepers Friend used with a soft scrubber.
What do the sealed rim and flush rivets do?
Hestan says the sealed, flared rim encapsulates the stainless-steel edge to prevent exposed aluminum, delamination, or separation, while its shape supports drip-free pouring. The interior flush rivets are intended to reduce food buildup and make cleaning easier.
What are the dimensions and weight of the 11-inch model?
The 11-inch product listing gives a 1.75-inch height, 18.75-inch overall length including the handle, and a weight of about 2.75 pounds. The listing identifies the cooking diameter as 11 inches (28 cm).
What warranty does Hestan provide for this skillet?
Hestan’s cookware warranty covers the original purchaser against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for the lifetime of the cookware. It excludes accident, misuse, abuse, normal wear and tear, and certain cleaning or overheating damage; Hestan directs customers to contact support rather than return the item to the store.
