NanoBond marks a true innovation for stainless steel cookware. The patented, multilayer structure of titanium-based alloys bonds directly to stainless steel through an environmentally friendly and chemical-free process, creating thousands of superdense nano layers on the cookware surface. The cookware is exceedingly resistant to scratches, staining and salt pitting, and is proved four times more durable than traditional stainless steel, maintaining beauty and performance for a lifetime. The same NanoBond pan will be used by each chef during the 10-city journey as a true test of its durability.
“As the official launch partner for Hestan NanoBond we’re excited to host the Titanium tour in 10 cities across the nation, offering exclusive culinary experiences with top chefs in our stores,” said Janet Hayes, President of Williams Sonoma. “NanoBond exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait for customers around the country to witness its unparalleled performance and durability firsthand.”
