from $350
The Hestan Nanobond 12.5" Stainless Steel Open Skillet is a durable, round skillet crafted in Italy from stainless steel. This 12.5-inch diameter skillet is induction compatible, oven safe up to 1050°F, and features a built-in handle for ease of use. It is suitable for a variety of heat sources including gas, electric, radiant ring, ceramic, and halogen, and is also dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
Avoid massive 15-piece sets; you only need a few high-quality pieces (skillet, saucepan, stockpot). Fully clad stainless steel distributes heat much better than pans with just a thick base. Available from $350.
Cookware has no energy cost but requires appropriate utensils and cleaning supplies. Non-stick pans are consumables and must be replaced every few years, while cast iron lasts generations.
