Introducing SAS PRO – Powered by HexaShield: A New Benchmark in Stick-Free Cooking

For years, cookware buyers have been forced to choose between two extremes - the strength and heat performance of stainless steel, or the easy food release of non-stick surfaces. One offered durability but demanded technique. The other offered convenience but often raised questions about longevity under real cooking conditions.

But no more. Because…….

SAS PRO - powered by HexaShield™ Technology has been introduced to change that equation.

Developed by Vinod Cookware, SAS PRO powered by HexaShield™ Technology represents a new generation of hybrid stick-free cookware engineered specifically for modern Indian kitchens. Rather than improving an existing format, this range is built on a new surface science and structural design approach. The one that combines stainless steel resilience with protected non-stick performance through engineered geometry and multi-layer construction.

This cookware range is not positioned as disposable non-stick cookware. It is engineered for long-term performance.

What’s the Technology Behind SAS PRO: HexaShield™ Hybrid Surface

At the core of SAS PRO lies HexaShield™ Technology - a proprietary hybrid surface architecture that merges steel strength with non-stick ease through structural design.

Unlike conventional stick-free pans that depend primarily on an exposed coating layer, HexaShield™ Technology uses a laser-etched hexagonal ridge system across the cooking surface. These raised stainless-steel peaks form a protective grid pattern, while recessed non-stick valleys sit between them.

This structured layout assigns different functional roles to different parts of the same surface:

• Steel peaks provide durability and abrasion resistance

• Valleys deliver smooth food release

• Ridge geometry shields the non-stick zones from direct wear

• Steel contact points support browning and searing

Designed for Real Indian Cooking

Indian cooking places unique demands on cookware - high heat, repeated stirring, metal ladles, tempering, sautéing, and edge-to-edge browning. SAS PRO powered by HexaShield™ Technology is built with these realities in mind.

The raised stainless-steel peaks are metal-spatula safe by design, helping reduce coating wear during everyday use. At the same time, the protected non-stick valleys support low-oil cooking and easy release, while being shielded from direct abrasion.

The non-stick system used in these valleys is free from harmful chemicals, adding an additional layer of material safety assurance. This is not just a coating - it is a shielded surface architecture engineered for durability, control, and real-world cooking performance.

The result is a hybrid cooking experience - controlled browning where you want it, stick-free release where you need it.

Triple-Layer Construction for Heat Control

Surface design alone is not enough without heat stability. SAS PRO cookware is built using full-clad tri-ply construction, combining:

• Magnetic stainless-steel exterior,

• Precision aluminum core, and 

• Food-grade stainless steel cooking layer.

This layered metal structure supports: Faster and more even heat distribution, reduced hot spots, better edge-to-edge cooking results, high-temperature resilience, and long-term structural integrity.

The aluminum core spreads heat efficiently, while the bonded stainless-steel layers provide strength and cooking stability — a combination typically associated with professional-grade cookware systems.

Universal Cooktop Compatibility

Today’s Indian kitchens often use mixed heat sources. SAS PRO Cookware powered by HexaShield™ Technology is engineered with a magnetic stainless-steel base that works across: Gas, Induction, and Electric stoves.

The base is designed for stability and resistance to warping under repeated heating cycles, ensuring consistent performance across cooking environments.

A Shift from Coating to Engineering

What sets SAS PRO apart conceptually is its shift in design philosophy - from surface coating dependence to surface engineering.

HexaShield™ Technology protects the stick-free function through structure, not just chemistry. Steel ridges act as guards. Valleys deliver release. Multi-layer metal construction manages heat. Each layer and contour have a defined performance role.

This represents a move from feature-based cookware to architecture-based cookware.

The SAS PRO Range powered by HexaShield cookware introduces a new benchmark in stick-free cooking by combining hybrid surface science, tri-ply heat performance, and durability-first engineering into one unified system.

If you are evaluating cookware not just for convenience today but for performance over years of cooking, SAS PRO cookware powered by HexaShield Technology is designed to be explored as a new category, not just another pan.
