Thomas Keller Insignia Cookware Collection

When an award-winning chef designs a line of cookware to use in his own kitchens, you know it has to be good. And that’s certainly the case with this collection that’s crafted with precision in Italy.

Thomas Keller has given these pots and pans details we never knew we needed, like a stainless-steel build that heats up 35% faster, flared rims for drip-free pouring, ultra-wide cooking surfaces, and a heat vent that keeps the handle cool. There’s a universal lid, too, just to keep things nice and streamlined. And when cleanup rolls around? Ditch the fuss with flush rivets, a no-gap handle, and sealed rims that are forever dishwasher friendly.

Thomas Keller earned worldwide acclaim soon after taking ownership of The French Laundry in Yountville, California. And now there are more restaurants under his belt, including Bouchon Bistro in Yountville and Las Vegas, Per Se in New York City, The Surf Club Restaurant in Surfside, Florida, and La Calenda, also in Yountville. He’s the first and only American chef to have been bestowed multiple three-star ratings in the Michelin guide, among many other accolades (just in case all that wasn’t enough already).
