Let me begin by expressing my profound enthusiasm for this exceptional cooking pan. My kitchen boasts a rather extensive collection of cookware, accumulated over many years, yet this particular pot transcends all others in both performance and sheer elegance.It's not simply a matter of superior functionality—though that is undeniably a key attribute. The versatility of this pan is astonishing, effortlessly adapting to a multitude of cooking techniques, from delicate searing to robust stewing. Furthermore, its durability is nothing short of remarkable. I've subjected this pan to rigorous testing, preparing everything from complex sauces to hearty one-pot meals, and it continues to perform flawlessly, showing absolutely no signs of wear due to its scratch resistance. My initial expectations were high, but this pan has significantly exceeded them.Cleaning is, quite frankly, a dream. Unlike my previous cookware, which often required laborious scrubbing and soaking, this pan gleams with minimal effort. The non-stick surface is truly extraordinary; sautéing delicate vegetables becomes a joyous experience rather than a frustrating chore. Even the most stubborn residues effortlessly yield to a simple wipe. This ease of cleaning is a game-changer for my busy lifestyle.Beyond its practical attributes, the pan design is a masterpiece of ergonomic ingenuity. It feels perfectly balanced and comfortable in my hand, even when filled to its generous capacity. This meticulous attention to detail elevates the cooking process from a mere task to an almost sensual experience. Even the most challenging recipes become a pleasure to prepare, imbued with a sense of effortless grace. I am in love with this brand. Can’t wait to purchase the whole collection.

Best frypan that I have ever used. Was hearing and seeing so much about these hybrid cookware that I decided to give it a try. Pan performs as advertised - food doesnt stick and cleanup is a breeze. Looks good too. Followed the prep instructions, and have not used high heat since the pan heats up quite well and maintains its heat during cooking. And I'm cooking on an electric glass cooktop. Now thinking about getting the 8 inch pan. Great purchase.

I brought a 10 inch fry pan direct from HexClad, I liked it so much I just brought a 12 inch pan on Amazon. I have had the 10 inch pan for about a week and I love it. I own a parrot and PTFE/PFOA, when overheated creates a deadly gas for birds so chemical free was a priority. I have a large gas grill with heavy iron grates so durability and even heating matters. Normally, I find celebrity endorsed products to be "gimmicky," but not here. The pans are very well made and even aesthetically pleasing. The black patterned surface with stainless trim looks good and hides staining. The pan is solid and moderately heavy and the handle is big making it good for large hands. It's ability to withstand 900 deg. (as advertised ) in an oven is a feat. With regard to its non-stick qualities, it is very good provided you follow the simple seasoning instructions and follow their heat recommendations. If you do, eggs, meats and sauces slip right off and you only need a soft sponge to clean the pan. The pan heats very quickly and evenly. HexClad claims that medium heat has the cooking effect as high heat which is true so you must be careful with you heat levels or you will burn the food. The pan finish feels diamond hard and slippery-smooth despite the embossed pattern. I used a steel fork to scramble eggs. There was not a mark or a scratch so their claim that you can use metal utensils is true (within reason). Still, I prefer hard, nylon utensils. There was alot of hype about this product and for once the hype is true. I cook alot and have invested in many high-end pans. HexClad is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I have not owned this product long enough to judge it's durability (which I suspect is good), I will edit this review in 6 months in that regard.UPDATE- After a month of heavy use, the pans look new and remain easy to clean. As it turns out, like with any pan, if you don't burn food onto the pan, use oil or butter, you food will not stick, the pan will not stain and remain easy to clean. HexClad is a good, heavy duty pan for people who know how to cook. You can even sear meats on them with good results. Still, as these pans transmit heat quickly, controlling heat makes a big difference.

I've owned a lot of cookware. Everything from low end Faberware stuff to higher end copper bottomed stainless, and obviously cast iron. Until now cast iron has been my favorite, but it's a bit of a pain to maintain and super heavy. The Hexclad out performs anything I've ever owned and 0 maintenance. Once I received my pan I put it through it's paces. Eggs? Slid in pan like they were ice skating. Cheese? Seemed like it was going to sick at first, but released easily with no sticking. I tried a marinated steak next because I wanted to sear and finish in oven to test oven performance. The marinade had high sugar content so I was prepared for some scorching and burned on residue. It cooked evenly and beautifully. There was a bit of burn on left but most wiped easily with a paper towel the rest came right off with a couple of minute soak. I've barely used my cast iron since getting this. I can't say enough. I'm hoping to try some of their other products, especially knives very soon. These are pricey, but so worth it for versatility and no maintenance.
