I have the Hertiage steel titanium pans and pots….many sizes. I’ve been using them for about 2 years now. I love them.
Thanks for doing this comparison! I didn't realize Heritage Steel's rivets stuck out further.
Would love to see a review of how All Clad, Made In, and Heritage Steel all perform on different burner types. I may not have the benefit of cooking with gas any time soon. Perhaps the responsiveness of Made In is a liability on electric stoves which cycle. If so, which brand is more versatile?
Great suggestion!
I bought a set of Heritage Steel Titanium cookware last year and love it! I only wish they had more pieces, in particular a steamer/pasta basket to go with the 6qt stockpot.
I see you got a new camera. I also see that your channel is growing. Congrats and please keep doing what you're doing.
Great, thorough, and informative review. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Well made presentation. I can’t wait to cook with my titanium 10 pieces Heritage steel cookware when it arrives through UPS so I can compare also from my set of Salad Master, All Clad & Viking cookwares I’m collecting. Hope next purchase that I’m contemplating is to have Maid In, De Buyer and Staub would be my next future collection. I need to Save money 💰 1st cuz these high end cookwares are not from Dollar Store now I’m broke lol 😆 anyway Than’x for sharing your excellent reviews 👍 I already subscribed especially all Bloggers in cookwares. You guys are brilliant very educational & very informative content you always have pertaining quality cookwares in the market.
I hope you will review also the Salad Master?
Excellent review. I'll use your link to buy a set of eaters. Thanks.
Thank you!!
Another benefit to the 316Ti surface is the denser molecular structure which may aid in providing that food is less likely to stick, although you will still need to follow the same procedures for such as you would for any SS....with maybe a little less fat.
The best U.S.-made cookware is Lodge, hands down. Cast iron cooks great. I can cook or bake every dish in the world in my 12-inch Lodge frying pan with cover and 3 and 1/2 quart "chicken pot" with cast iron lid. Rice, biscuits, pizza, stir-fry, casseroles, soups, lasagna, curry, custard and puddings ... literally everything.
I'm actually considering Hestan Nano Bond because they're so beautiful and I'm looking at a permanent purchase so Aesthetics are playing a part in this decision..... but I want super high quality so this video comes at a perfect time
Ooo, it's hard to resist Heston's looks. 😁
Hestan NanoBond is a great choice too. I plan to post a video about it soon.
@PrudentReviews thank you! My friend got gifted a skillet for Christmas from his parents, not the Nano Bond but a Hestan, and he loves the flat rivets. Says it's such an easy pan to clean and use
@ArkhamNorth and those flat rivets excite me besides the fact it has a fully sealed rolled lip, perfect to pour something off of it, and you can actually put it in the dishwasher if you needed to. I saw all clad is backtracking on their dishwasher safe claims because they got sued because of delamination due to their exposed core
@@NoZenith Interesting. I wouldn't put anything like that in a dishwasher myself if I had one. First I've heard of any issues! Good to know though, thanks.
I've just checked, and both types of Heritage Steel pans are available in the UK, through Amazon US or other suppliers.
Thanks for your detailed and informative review.
This is a great video! Thanks! Very helpful because I was curious about the brand Still, when you factor in the ludicrous savings All-Clad gives you for their factory seconds (or simply damaged boxes!), I'm sticking with All-Clad.
All-Clad is running a Factory Seconds sale right now FYI
@@PrudentReviews Unfortunately I already know. I'm avoiding it. 😂 I've got 13 CC & D3 pans and pots but I still need the Weeknight Pan. It's hard to resist but I'm staying strong.
@@ArkhamNorth hang in there :)
Something folks need to realize about manufacturing is that the American work force largely lacks the skills needed and that we lack factories at home. Retooling a factory isn't cheap by any means.
America basically closed all the steel mills in the 80s. So it has to come from overseas. That is the reality we live in. Also 40% of the work force cannot afford either Heritage Steel or All-Clad. Though Lodge cast iron is the same price or come down in price in the last four years.
There is such a thing as being a cookware snob and that cookware is more of a status symbol. My set of stainless steel is compromised of things from different brands because no one brand makes the best of everything. I've been using the same cookware for over 30 years and its just as nice as when I got it. I've cooked professionallyfor years.
Heritage Steel has a really nice 8 qt saute pan that is a total dream. I've had it for a few years now. The competition doesn't have anything like it.
Just checking if you have a discount code for the All Clad sales going on now? I got notified on your newsletter
The Factory Seconds Sale is live until the 21st but I don’t have any additional discount codes - those pieces are already marked down significantly
With some research looks like Made In USA products were once manufactured by Heritage in Tennessee
That’s correct
Can you review Viking Cookware?
hello, if you had to choose between heritage steel titanium and Hexclad, which would you go for and why?
They are very different but I’d go with Heritage Steel because it can last forever and is more versatile (can use it for broiling, searing, pan sauces, etc.). However, if you cook a lot of eggs and nonstick properties are important, food is less likely to stick to HexClad.
What type of cooking are you planning to use the pans for? If you provide more info, I can give you a better recommendation.
@@PrudentReviews thank you. I want to make a good steak, I will fry up eggs, chicken - just salt and pepper skin on, and breaded fried zucchini, stews, goulash, Alfredo. variety. so was thinking of a saute pan that can do all mentioned but then I have to decide what brand.
@@sueh1091 I would go with heritage steel. HexClad makes cooking eggs a little easier but you could get a cheap aluminum nonstick pan for that. All those other dishes cook well in stainless steel.
I am looking to buy a 12 inch stainless steel fry pan that is dishwasher safe. Would you recommend the Heritage steel titanium series or the Misen pan? I am more concerned with quality than where it is made. Thanks for the great video!
Both are good quality and have similar construction and materials. The one difference in materials is the 316Ti steel I mentioned in this video. I haven’t noticed much of a difference but 316Ti is more resistant to putting. Otherwise, there are minor differences in handle design, the slope of the walls, and exterior finish (HS has a polished exterior, Misen is brushed). HS titanium is more expensive but the Eater series is closer to Misen.
Do they make cookware without aluminum?
All of their cookware has an aluminum core sandwiched between steel. The aluminum doesn’t touch the food.
Yea but it has rivets on the inside. Demeyere, Hestan, Matfer Bourgeat, and a few others don’t and are easier to clean as a result. I don’t think Heritage has sealed rims either. And as I recall, like All Clad and others, I think some of the pieces (handles or lids?) may be made outside of the USA.
The rims are not sealed but they are noticeably more smooth from the grinding and polishing. The lids are made in the USA but the handles are made in China.
From prudent reviews website: “Global Materials: Despite emphasizing American manufacturing, Heritage Steel still sources some raw materials globally. For example, the bonded sheets of steel used to form each pan are sourced from South Korea, and the handles are made in China.”
Spending the time of using a toothbrush with Barkeeper's Friend once a month is no biggie. Maybe 1 minute per pot or pan. I don't bother with that and MAYBE once every few years and I don't get the gunk build up that I see in the videos.
It's a shame that the parts are source from South Korea and China and merely assembled in the U.S. Are there any brands where everything is sourced and assembled in the U.S.?
I don't know of any stainless steel handles that are made in the USA, but I'm reaching out to brands to find out. All-Clad, Heritage Steel, and 360 Cookware get their handles from China. I believe several cast iron brands are fully made in the USA (Lodge, Stargazer, Field, etc.).
From what I can find online, everything is USA made with Heritage Steel, the metal itself is sourced from South Korea. I can't find any USA brands that source the material from the USA. This is likely because the USA does not produce low cost stainless steel. USA sourced stainless would likely have you buying $1,000 frying pans.
Lodge cast iron from Tennessee is the best possible cookware in the kitchen. Plus, it becomes a family heirloom, lasts and lasts.
I bought them and not happy with them for many reasons and their "refund policy" is a joke
Can you provide some context that might help others? What are you not happy with? Are they not letting you return?
@@PrudentReviews I have done a lot of research before I bought these pans and the first time I use them they had these weird scratches on the bottom of them on the outside of the pans, and when I boiled some noodles, you could see the indentation of the noodles at the bottom of the pan and the noodles, never stuck to the bottom of the pan, so I’m not sure what that was about. When you try to reach out to them, they are very short with you and they just don’t care. You can only return these if you have not used them so how does that make sense? People need to use them to find out if they’re good quality or not and these are not good quality . The Tramontana three clad stainless steel pans are better than these ones that I bought from Costco.
handle design is ridiculous!
Titanium or Eater?
No reason to buy USA made anymore. Get Debuyer
Over Hestan?
Why?
America first
