Join Heritage Steel craftsmen at their work:


Each Heritage Steel Pan Begins at their Tennessee Presses:

We start the process with the highest quality 7-ply stainless steel. These blanks are aligned and pressed into their initial form by machinery exerting up to 300 tons of pressure.

Shape Heritage Steel's Easy-Pour No-Drip Rim

After its initial press, the pan undergoes two additional draws, forming the easy-pour lip of the pan and dispensing with excess metal around the edge.

Each Heritage Steel Pan Gets a Bath In Their water-saving and eco-friendly state-of-the-art 40-foot washer:

Each Heritage Steel Pan is meticulously Smoothed, as Craftsmen Grind out any burrs or rough edges.

Each Heritage Steel Pan gets an incredible lustre as it's polished by their HAU polishing machine and their extraordinary Tennessee craftsmen:

Their Legendary Spiral Finish


The bottom of the pan is hand-finished with a spiral pattern both on the interior and exterior. Internally, this allows for easy release of food while cooking and cleaning, and externally provides traction for smooth cooktops.

And Now, Their Super-Comfy Stainless Handles


Each handle is aligned and riveted by hand, using a press that exerts up to a ton of pressure.
