Hestan ProBond Luxe and Forged Clad: Are the rims sealed on all pans?
Hi everyone, I’ve been shopping for a 2.5–3 qt saucepan or saucier with a sealed rim to replace my All-Clad D3 saucier, and I decided on the Hestan ProBond Forged Clad 3 qt saucepan.
When it arrived, I noticed that the rim does not appear to be sealed. Instead, the edge is just rolled downward; I marked the inner and outer stainless steel layers in the photo. This surprised me because Hestan stated “No Exposed Aluminum. Ever.” on the product page.
Over the weekend, I saw a ProBond Luxe fry pan at a local store, and its rim was sealed. Is this an design difference between the Forged and Luxe lines, or could mine be a quality-control issue? What has been your experience with the rims on ProBond pans?
I only need this one pan to be dishwasher-safe and I’m happy to hand wash my other stainless cookware.
Thanks in advance!
