Hestan Woks Offer Cutting Edge Cooking Technology

While a saute pan or large skillet could work in a pinch, there's nothing better than a wok when it's time to whip up a stir-fry. With its high, sloped sides and generous size, a wok is the ideal piece of cookware for stir-frying. Depending upon the depth and diameter of your wok, you may also be able to use it for braising, steaming, smoking and even deep-frying. If you're in the market for a new wok, you'd be wise to consider one from Hestan, a leading cookware manufacturer widely known for their high-quality, professional kitchen-level products.

The Details

Beloved by some of the world's greatest chefs, Hestan is a trusted brand that prides itself on thoughtful design and cutting-edge technology. Their NanoBond™ line of molecular titanium is the first innovation to stainless steel cookware in 100 years, and their CopperBond™ and ProBond lines have both been recognized for excellence in product design. All Hestan cookware features sealed rims that make it 100% dishwasher-safe, and their exclusive triple-bonded stainless steel base provides improved heat conductivity that ensures you have complete temperature control. Williams Sonoma carries two Hestan woks, either of which would make an excellent addition to your kitchen.

The Hestan ProBond™ Professional Clad Stainless-Steel Covered Wok is cold-forged using a revolutionary process that optimizes the metal to create a thick base for even heat distribution and thin sidewalls for light weight. The pan's pure aluminum core ensures that it heats up quickly and cooks evenly. Handcrafted in Italy, this Hestan wok features a domed lid and boasts a 7.5-quart capacity. Since it's oven and broiler safe to 600°F, you could use it to roast a whole chicken.

Your second Hestan wok option is from the company's NanoBond line, which offers a patented, multilayer design that bonds titanium-based alloys directly to stainless steel, giving the cookware a resilient and lasting finish and making it four times more durable than traditional stainless steel. This versatile, scratch-resistant pan is perfect for everything from one-pot meals to stir fry dishes. With flat rivets and a naturally non-porous surface, the NanoBond wok is incredibly easy to clean, so you'll never hesitate to reach for it for a quick weeknight dinner.
