    We purchased a set of pots and pans from Williams-Sonoma made by Hestan and sold under the Williams and Sonoma Stainless Steel Thermo-Clad line. Over the last year they have developed very sharp edges that can easily leave 2 cuts marks when washing the pans. The Aluminum band used on the top edge wears away leaving 2 sharp edges

    My wife sliced her finger open on the sharp edge of a saucepan. I have two identical pans and upon examination they both have the same issue. The layers of the pan appear to be delaminating exposing a very sharp edge. These were purchased from Williams-Sonoma last year for my wife for Xmas. I reached out to their customer service line and was offered a 15% discount if I bought more. The model info is: “Williams-Sonoma Stainless Steel Thermo-Clad by Hestan Made in Italy 2QT Sauce Pan 10181”.
