HOTPAN® Recognized: Best in Show 2026

A Smarter Way to Cook, Celebrated


We’re proud to share that the Kuhn Rikon HOTPAN® has been named one of The Kitchn’s Best in Show products of 2026 at the Inspired Home Show.

Recognized for its thoughtful design and everyday performance, HOTPAN® stood out among the most innovative kitchen products of the year — a reflection of what Kuhn Rikon has always believed: great cooking starts with smart, purposeful tools.

Why HOTPAN® Stands Out


HOTPAN® isn’t just cookware — it’s a different way of thinking about cooking.

With its unique combination of a stainless-steel inner pot and an insulating outer bowl, HOTPAN® allows you to bring food to temperature and then let it gently finish cooking off the heat. The result is a method that saves energy, preserves flavor, and simplifies your time in the kitchen.

It’s cooking that works with you — not against you.

From Stove to Table, Seamlessly


One of the features that caught the attention of The Kitchn is HOTPAN’s ability to transition effortlessly from cooking to serving.

No transferring. No extra dishes.

Just beautifully designed cookware that looks as good on the table as it performs on the stove.

Designed for Everyday Life


Whether you’re preparing a weeknight dinner or hosting a special gathering, HOTPAN® adapts to your routine.

  • Keeps food hot (or cold) for hours
  • Reduces energy use by up to 60%
  • Supports healthier cooking with less added fat
  • Simplifies prep, cooking, and serving in one system

It’s the kind of tool you reach for again and again — because it simply makes sense.

It’s not just about what you cook today.

It’s about the moments you create — and the tools that stay with you along the way.

We believe in generations.
