When chef Thomas Keller puts his name to cookware, we can expect it to be among the best in the world – and with the quality comes an inevitable price tag that is usually unavoidable until now.
Thomas's Insignia 11 Piece Cookware Set – comprising the best non-stick frying pans and stainless steel sauciers on the market – has a firm place in his Michelin-star kitchens. Naturally, these professional pieces come with a price tag, but they're enjoying a considerable reduction this Black Friday – most notably on Wayfair, who have nearly halved their price for a limited time,
It will come as no surprise that these pans are made from the highest quality stainless steel (hand-crafted in Italy, naturally). However, this isn't the only benefit that sets these pans aside.
According to the New York Times, the California-born chef insisted on pans that are more generous in circumference to suit larger burners in restaurant kitchens (and to accommodate the professional-style ranges that culinary enthusiasts often purchase). The range also features his signature wide, two-handled rondeau and a saucier, that was new to Hestan’s inventory at the time of launch.
'The problem I constantly faced with cookware, especially at home, was its variation in sizes,' Thomas comments.
'When collaborating with Hestan Culinary on my Insignia Collection, I looked to design cookware that nested together and would store both effectively and efficiently.'

We admit: we're wholly tempted by this collection, there's no better time to invest. However, if you're looking to organize your pots and pans without picking up a whole new collection, we recommend picking up another chef-approved pan – this time in the shape of Gordon Ramsay's favorite cookware.
The aptly named HexClad uses a hexagon design (created through a laser etching process) to provide both stainless steel and nonstick surfaces. This dual surface allows your pan to sear still while using less oil, grease, and butter – and places it firmly among the best non-stick frying pans available.
'The sear I can get with these pans is incredible, with absolutely no stick,' Gordon comments. 'The temperature control is utter perfection, and the clean-up is effortless.'
With such great cookware available, we really have no excuse not to up our culinary game.
