Revolutionary Cookware Technology
David Burke Cookware incorporates patented innovations developed through years of research in professional kitchens. Our unique technologies set new standards for non-stick performance, durability, and cooking versatility.
Black Cube Hybrid Technology
The groundbreaking Black Cube non-stick system represents a major breakthrough in cookware engineering. Unlike traditional non-stick surfaces that require gentle handling, Black Cube combines the durability of stainless steel with the convenience of premium non-stick coating. This patented hybrid technology allows you to use metal utensils without fear of scratching or damaging the cooking surface.
The secret lies in the multi-layer construction: a stainless steel base provides structural integrity, while advanced Xylan non-stick layers create an incredibly slick, PFOA-free cooking surface that releases food effortlessly. This combination delivers professional-grade performance that stands up to daily use in demanding home kitchens.
GeoClad Laser-Etched Ceramic
Our GeoClad collection features an innovative laser-etched geometric pattern that's not just visually striking—it's functionally superior. The precise geometric texturing increases the effective cooking surface area while creating micro-channels that enhance non-stick performance. This technology allows oils and fats to distribute more evenly across the pan, resulting in better browning and less sticking.
The ceramic hybrid coating is completely free from PTFE, PFOA, and other potentially harmful chemicals. Health-conscious home chefs appreciate knowing their cookware won't release toxic fumes, even at high temperatures. GeoClad cookware is naturally non-stick, easy to clean, and environmentally friendly.
Tri-Ply Aluminum Core Construction
All David Burke Cookware features 3-ply construction with an aluminum core layer sandwiched between stainless steel. This tri-ply design is the gold standard in professional kitchens because it combines the superior heat conductivity of aluminum with the durability and non-reactive properties of stainless steel.
The result is cookware that heats quickly and evenly from edge to center, eliminating hot spots that cause uneven cooking and burning. Whether you're searing a delicate fish fillet or reducing a sauce, tri-ply construction gives you precise temperature control and consistent results across the entire cooking surface.
Universal Compatibility & Safety
Every piece of David Burke Cookware is induction-ready and compatible with all cooktop types, including gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen. The magnetic stainless steel base ensures optimal performance on induction ranges, which are becoming increasingly popular for their energy efficiency and precise temperature control.
Safety is paramount in our design philosophy. All cookware is oven-safe to 500°F, allowing you to start dishes on the stovetop and finish them in the oven. Ergonomically designed stay-cool handles provide a secure, comfortable grip, while helper handles on larger pieces make lifting and pouring safer and easier.

The David Burke Difference
What sets David Burke Cookware apart from mass-market cookware brands? The answer lies in our unwavering commitment to professional-grade standards. While most consumer cookware is designed to meet price points, David Burke Cookware is engineered to meet performance standards used in the world's finest restaurants.
Our cookware features commercial-weight construction that's 30-40% heavier than typical retail brands. This extra mass isn't just for show—it provides superior heat retention, more stable cooking temperatures, and better searing capabilities. When you place a cold piece of meat in a David Burke pan, the temperature barely drops, ensuring perfect browning and caramelization.
The ergonomic handle design reflects Chef Burke's deep understanding of kitchen ergonomics. After spending countless hours in professional kitchens, he knows that comfortable, secure handles make all the difference during long cooking sessions. Our handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, provide excellent balance, and offer a comfortable grip even when wearing oven mitts.
Perhaps most importantly, David Burke Cookware offers exceptional value. We've eliminated the middlemen and excessive marketing costs that inflate prices at traditional retailers. By selling directly to consumers, we can offer professional-grade cookware at prices that are accessible to serious home cooks who demand restaurant-quality tools.

Pro Tips: Get the Most from Your David Burke Cookware
Learn the techniques that professional chefs use to maximize performance and extend the life of your premium cookware.
Preheat Properly
Always preheat your pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes before adding oil. This ensures even heat distribution and prevents hot spots that can burn food or damage coatings.
- Water droplet test: it should sizzle and evaporate
- Never preheat on high heat—medium is sufficient
Right Utensils
While Black Cube is metal utensil safe, using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils will maximize the longevity of any non-stick surface while still delivering professional results.
- Black Cube: metal utensils OK, silicone preferred
- Stainless steel: any utensil works perfectly
Use Less Oil
David Burke's superior non-stick technology means you can use up to 80% less oil than traditional cookware. A light spray or small drizzle is all you need for most cooking.
- Healthier meals with minimal fat
- Easier cleanup with less residue
Chef David's Golden Rule
"The biggest mistake home cooks make is using too much heat. With quality cookware like ours, medium heat delivers better results than high heat ever could. Trust the pan—it's designed to work with you, not against you."
— Chef David Burke
