Hestan CopperBond Aura 11 Inch Skillet
Italian-made 11-inch skillet with 1.5 mm pure copper and a satin stainless steel cooking surface
The Hestan CopperBond Aura 11 Inch Skillet is handcrafted in Italy and gives searing, sautéing, browning, and pan sauces the fast heat response that makes copper so effective on the stovetop. Its 1.5 mm pure copper exterior is bonded directly to a super-fine satin stainless steel cooking surface, giving you precise temperature control without the maintenance of a traditional tin-lined copper pan.

Hestan CopperBond Aura 11 Inch Skillet
A Responsive Everyday Skillet
The 11-inch size gives you enough cooking surface for steaks, chops, fish, vegetables, eggs, and pan sauces without becoming cumbersome on the stovetop. Copper heats and cools quickly, so changes at the burner translate rapidly into changes in the pan.
CopperBond Aura uses a 2-ply construction with 1.5 mm of pure copper bonded directly to stainless steel. The copper provides the response, while the nonreactive stainless steel interior is designed for high-heat cooking, easier cleaning, and long-term durability.
Hestan CopperBond Aura 11 Inch Skillet
Built for Daily Handling
The seamless chef-designed handle removes a crevice where food can collect and incorporates a heat vent designed to reduce heat transfer. Flush stainless steel rivets keep the cooking surface smoother, while the reinforced rim adds durability for repeated stovetop and oven use.

From Our Founder
"An 11-inch skillet is one of the easiest sizes to use every day, and copper makes it especially responsive. You can get a hard sear, back the heat down quickly, and finish a pan sauce without changing cookware."

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Is the Hestan CopperBond Aura 11 Inch Skillet induction compatible?
No. CopperBond Aura is not induction compatible. If you cook on induction, choose classic Hestan CopperBond or NanoBond instead.
What makes CopperBond Aura different from classic CopperBond?
CopperBond Aura uses 2-ply construction with a 1.5 mm pure copper exterior bonded directly to a stainless steel cooking surface. Classic CopperBond uses 5-ply construction with a 1mm copper core and an induction-compatible stainless steel base.
What is the 11-inch CopperBond Aura Skillet best for?
The 11-inch size gives you room for steaks, chops, fish, vegetables, eggs, sautéing, browning, and pan sauces while remaining practical for everyday stovetop use.
How hot can the CopperBond Aura 11 Inch Skillet go in the oven?
It is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F.
How should I clean CopperBond Aura?
Hestan recommends hand washing CopperBond Aura and drying it thoroughly with a soft cloth. The copper exterior will naturally develop a patina over time, which does not affect cooking performance.
