Chef-designed and kitchen-proven with the core, chef Thomas Keller's tri-ply clad insignia stainless steel rondeau raises the bar for professional culinary performance with purpose-built cookware focused on exceptional results. Designed by chef Keller, this insignia rondeau boasts flush, dual-riveted handles, for easy cleaning and space-saving stacking. The triple-bonded 18/10 stainless steel construction featuring Hestan's exclusive procure aluminum, delivers 35% greater heat conductivity. That means faster, more consistent heating, plus faster recovery time to stay in control of temperature and timing. In addition, you'll find that the rondeau is wider, not taller, to increase cooking surface for greater flavor building when creating hearty stews, rich cassoulets, or braising osso buco. Durable, innovative sealed rims make this thoughtfully crafted rondeau 100% dishwasher safe, while purposeful engineering accommodates a wide range of culinary needs including oven and broil safe to 600° F.
