Hestan Culinary ProBond Braiser

This braiser features higher, straighter sides than a traditional frying pan, which makes it ideal for liquid-based cooking like braising, simmering, and stewing. The wider surface area also provides plenty of room for searing meats before adding liquids.

Yes, this braiser is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. Its stainless steel construction is designed to handle high-heat cooking methods without warping or degrading.

Yes, the flush rivets sit flat against the interior wall of the pan, which eliminates the small crevices where food and grease typically get trapped. This design makes wiping the pan clean significantly faster and more thorough.

Yes, the ProBond braiser is fully compatible with induction, as well as gas and electric stovetops. Its clad stainless steel construction ensures efficient heat transfer across all heat sources.

While the manufacturer states it is dishwasher safe, we generally recommend hand washing high-quality stainless steel cookware to maintain its finish and performance over time.

The braiser itself weighs 4.2 lbs, which is relatively lightweight for a 3.5-quart vessel of this quality. The inclusion of a helper handle makes it much easier to maneuver safely when the pan is full.
