Compact Copper with Fast Response

The 8.5-inch skillet is the smallest pan in the CopperBond Aura skillet lineup, making it particularly useful when you do not need the surface area of a full-size frying pan. It heats quickly and responds immediately when you adjust the burner, giving you close control over smaller portions and temperature-sensitive cooking.

CopperBond Aura uses a 2-ply construction with 1.5 mm of pure copper directly bonded to stainless steel. The copper provides the response, while the stainless steel interior handles high-heat cooking without the re-tinning required by traditional tin-lined copper cookware.

Signature Features

1.5 mm pure copper: The substantial copper exterior responds quickly when burner temperatures change, making it easier to manage delicate sautéing, browning, and pan sauces.

Super-fine satin stainless steel interior: The nonreactive cooking surface is designed for high-heat cooking, easier cleaning, and resistance to staining and oil buildup.

8.5-inch size: The compact cooking surface is well suited to eggs, individual portions, scallops, vegetables, and smaller stovetop preparations.

Chef-designed seamless handle: The handle eliminates a food-trapping crevice and incorporates an integrated heat vent to reduce heat transfer during cooking.

Flush stainless steel rivets: Hestan's signature flush rivets create a smoother interior that is easier to clean.

Reinforced rim: The strengthened rim adds durability for repeated stovetop and oven use.

600°F oven and broiler safe: Move directly from stovetop to oven or broiler when a recipe calls for high-heat finishing.

Handcrafted in Italy: CopperBond Aura is produced in Hestan's Northern Italian factory as a limited-production copper collection.

From Our Founder

"The 8.5-inch Aura is the copper skillet I would reach for when cooking one or two portions. It responds quickly, takes up very little burner space, and gives you excellent control when a larger skillet would simply be more pan than you need."

Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace
