Essteele induction cookware is premium, Italian-made cookware that comes in two distinct ranges for induction cooktops. The Per Vita range features polished 18/10 stainless steel with a solid copper base for rapid, even heating. The Per Salute range offers diamond-reinforced non-stick aluminium with a smart Thermotech handle that turns green when the pan is ready to cook. Both ranges are fully induction compatible, oven safe, and come with a lifetime warranty.
When you invest in an induction cooktop, you need cookware that can keep up. Induction cooking is fast, precise, and incredibly efficient, but it requires pots and pans with a magnetic base to work.
Essteele Per Vita: The Stainless Steel Classic
If you love the gleaming look of professional kitchens and want cookware that will literally last a lifetime, the Per Vita range is for you.
The Copper Advantage
The secret to Per Vita's performance on induction is its base. While the body is made from premium 18/10 stainless steel, the base features a solid layer of copper sealed inside aluminium and magnetic stainless steel. Copper is one of the best heat conductors available. This means the pan heats up incredibly fast and distributes that heat evenly across the entire base, eliminating hot spots.
Built for High Heat
Because it is uncoated stainless steel, Per Vita is perfect for high-heat cooking. You can get a brilliant sear on a steak, deglaze the pan to make a rich sauce, and pop the whole thing in the oven up to 260°C.

Essteele Per Salute: The Smart Non-Stick
If easy cleanup and healthy, low-oil cooking are your priorities, the Per Salute range is the way to go.
Diamond-Reinforced Durability
Non-stick pans often get a bad reputation for wearing out quickly. Essteele solves this by reinforcing the Per Salute non-stick coating with real diamonds. This makes the surface incredibly tough and scratch-resistant. The interior also features a DuraShield finish for extra resilience.
The Thermotech Handle
One of the smartest features of the Per Salute range is the Thermotech handle. A small indicator on the handle turns green when the pan has reached the optimal cooking temperature. This takes the guesswork out of preheating and prevents you from overheating and damaging the non-stick surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Essteele cookware made in Italy?
Yes. Both the Per Vita and Per Salute ranges are designed and manufactured in Italy, reflecting a long tradition of European culinary craftsmanship.
Can Essteele Per Salute go in the dishwasher?
No. To protect the diamond-reinforced non-stick coating and the Thermotech handle indicator, the Per Salute range must be hand-washed with warm soapy water and a soft sponge.
Are Essteele pans heavy?
The Per Vita stainless steel pans have a satisfying, substantial weight due to the thick copper and aluminium base. The Per Salute aluminium pans are lighter and easier to maneuver, making them a great choice if you prefer a lighter pan.
