- Опубліковано 9 тра 2024
- Are HexClad pans just a marketing gimmick with a celebrity chef pitchman, or are they actually worth buying? In this review, I tell you the truth about HexClad. After putting it to the test, I reveal the good and the bad.
Full disclosure: HexClad sent me these pans but this is not sponsored video and they are not paying me anything to make it.

Sorry, I won't be replacing my cast iron and carbon steel pans with the latest wonder pan fad.
I am
Sucker for expensive cookware, all it does to me is makes me feel good while cooking and nothing more then that. Although I have NOT bought HexCad yet I think it’s way too experience for my guilty pleasure cooking. ❤
Actually America’s Test Kitchens says HexClad are one of the worst “nonstick” pans they’ve ever tested. In fact they say that these pans shouldn’t even be called nonstick. Having to use oil in a nonstick pan defeats the entire purpose of a nonstick pan.
@@Nicksonian
Interesting. Do you know, which one- the best? Without toxic materials.
@@Marina.Eleven You can get either carbon steel or cast iron pans. They are pretty nonstick once you season them and would truly last you a lifetime, because you can always reseason them.
I enjoyed your unbiased review. It makes me even happier that I bought the 13-pc. set + 1-qt. saucepan two years ago.
I thought these were a gimmick and that Uncle Gordon had sold out, lol.. Glad to see that they're not! Good review!
But it is a sold out! Hexclad is a poor non stick pan and not a great steel pan😅 rather just buy a regular non stick and a steel pan separately
@@empputrubaduu4725 yea, i already had my setup pretty much done once I saw these, so I haven't tried them myself, but I know dude is good with his reviews. I bougie af so i have all-clad D5 and all-clad non-stick lol.. i grab them when they're on sale.. for cast iron i went with Field Company, out of Illinois. Comes already 'sanded' and oiled.. just start cooking. they're lighter than Lodge and Finex too.
@@empputrubaduu4725regular ones break easily withing a year and their non stick coating was been linked to cancer... I think its safe to say its better to get stainless steel pans
Thanks for the review. Balanced and informative. I have been considering a HexClad purchase and wanted to know the unbiased truth...I may still make the plunge, but I now know what the deal is with HexClad.
I have a full set of HexClad pans and pots. I've had the pans for about 4 years, and the pots about 2. I waited a long time to get the pots because I didn't see the need for their non-stick qualities as much as I needed it for the fry pans. I have also added a griddle and the wok to my collection as well. A couple things not covered in the video:
Pros:
1. These pans will absolutely work fine on an induction cooktop. I have a small single one and the have no issue on it at all.
2. The handles actually do not need buffing, just clean them with the pan, they stay nice and polished.
3. They can be used in the oven.
4. The handles do not get hot during normal cooking times, only if you're cooking with them for a long time, like over half an hour.
5. the shortness of the handles make them much easier to store in a drawer, the handles a level with the pan. Long, rising handles are impossible in that storage location.
6. I use the scrubby side of a sponge/scrubby and some dish soap to clean them, and it is super easy.
Cons:
1. The design of the fork where the handles attach is REALLY hard to keep clean. You need a toothbrush of something to get these areas from glazing and browning over time.
2. They are, indeed pricey. I waiting to buy the pots until Costco brought them in on sale at about half price.
3. The round, flat griddle would be better as a more square shape, for making 4 pancakes at once, or a bunch of grilled cheese sandwiches.
4. I really wish the sides of the large fry pan were about 3/4 of an inch higher, for making large quantities of southern-style white sausage gravy.
5. The smallest pot in the collection is too big.
Let me add to your cons. They still have a toxic non stick coating. It’s not PFAS but PTFE, a subgroup of PFAS. PFAS are known as a forever chemical meaning they build up in your body and do not break down over time.
@@sethjory8356 That's exactly the reason I'm returning my pans
They cost way too much for a product made in China.
I really appreciate your scientific approach and lack of bias in your review. I did find it interesting though that you made a number of references to cooking eggs with oil. As it turns out Gordon Ramsay often tells people to cook eggs with oil. I am going to mark you as a trusted reviewer. Though I did raise an eyebrow before you started because the ad was for a different line of cookware.
Your fair and balanced reviews never fail to impress. The fact that you actually try out and use what you review gives you a credibility that matters. I have discovered, much to my dismay, that some people who present themselves as experts - some of whom write for some seemingly reputable websites - offer mostly marketing fluff and seem not to have handled or used what they recommend. Case in point, recently I purchased a pot made by a famous manufacturer that one reviewer said had comfortable handles. But right out of the box it was apparent that the reviewer could not possibly have held that pot because it had noticeably uncomfortable handles! Unfortunately, it is hard to find trustworthy individuals these days. Keep up the good work!
Really appreciate that Chris. We try to be as objective as possible. Here’s more info about our approach prudentreviews.com/how-we-test-and-review-products/
For me also the fact that the companies send him the products to review tells me they may trust him to be honest. and they come across that way for me
America’s Test Kitchen-the real professionals-says these pans suck and don’t even qualify as nonstick.
@@Nicksonian americas test kitchen is great and saved me a ton in falling for marketing schemes
It's not a review if someone doesn't try out and test a product. Otherwise, it's just an advertisement.
Nice review, I had been considering giving these a try, but I’m now more convinced than ever that my several steel and cast iron pans do all I could ever want
If you own SS and Carbon Steel you have no need for a hexclad. It’s China made junk that will end up useless and in a landfill after a few years of use.
Good move. Without seeing your pots, I'd guarantee your stainless, carbon steel or cast iron is miles better..
I have found cast iron a pain in the ass to work with and upkeep. Plus they're heavy. BUT, if they are your thing, and you're using them well, then you're right. Stainless and those cast irons are all you will ever need.
Not to mention. Paid for.
Smart choice, you don't need these hybrid pans. I only need one non stick pan for my eggs since I hate crispy bottoms on my eggs. I spent 25$ on a non stick Tramontina Professional pan and it works great for that purpose.
Great review. This exactly the type of review I was looking for!
Thank you!
six years ago I was in the market for a griddle pan that stayed flat through its life. Every pan from the big box stores warped. I took a chance on a Scanpan griddle from Amazon. Six years later, it's still flat. It has a 1/4 inch thick plate welded underneath. I also bought a set of fry pans, 9 and 11 inches. The griddle was $100 and the 2 fry pans cost $170. They are all flat and the nonstick surfaces look practically new.
Thanks for always sharing your experience. I've been reached out to HexClad after using a 14"wok for 5 months because of there were some scratches on it. The reply email said: "in general, scratches can occur. Our products are scratch resistant, but not scratch proof"... Now I have used almost all products of HexClad for 3 years, I'm planing to throw away my 12" wok which I use most because of more & more coating peels off, I don't want to eat them😂 I never use steel utensils and always hand wash carefully. Fairly say, HexClad has better quality than other cookware I've been using but I didn't get any guarantee benefit from them.
It's good that you tossed the peeling pan out. Found this in another online review, "HexClad Cookware Is Coated with PTFE, a Type of PFAS “Forever Chemical,” While Telling Consumers They are Not Coated with PFAS". Great cookware but they are being a bit deceitful and you definitely don't want to keep using one if it started to peel.
@@rja12
Thank you!
Where I can find information about chemical coated?
I honestly don't get the point of having a wok, which is supposed to work with extremely high temperatures, coated with nonstick, which doesn't tolerate with temperatures.
I honestly think hexclad are low quality Chinese pans with a major ad budget.
I ordered the round "griddle" but was immediately unhappy with the convex surface, meaning any small amount of oil would pool around the edges of the pan. I called the company and was told the design was intentional. No word about the pan supposedly flattening out after a few uses. But I did use it a few times. The convex shape continued unchanged. At that point a second and more serious issue arose when I tried to return the item. It took several emails back and forth, answering questions about why, etc, and getting sales pitches with discounts on ADDITIONAL PURCHASES, tryiing to get me to agree to keep the item! Finally I got irritated enough that they relented and acceprted the return. No way will consider buying anything else from HexClad, flat bottom or not.
I appreciate your comment about their customer service and what you had to go through to get the item replaced. These days, Customer Service is so important, and it is really hard to find a company that backs up their product. If you are going to put a lifetime warranty on a product and charge that much for a pan, then it should be a lifetime warranty. A customer shouldn't have to read in between the lines and worry about specific wording pertaining to the craftsmanship and performance. If the pan is faulty, do the right thing and replace it. As a paying customer, I wouldn't want to buy an expensive pan from a company that is going to make it difficult for me to return if I have issues, no matter what the issue is. I was considering purchasing a set of these pans but based on your experience with this company's customer service...I will continue my search.
Trying to return a product to them is a joke. The state that it must be unused. How do you no it's a garbage product if you don't try it out first, you don't. Their phone call in is a circle jerk that gets you nothing but pissed off because it doesn't direct to anyone to talk to. The pans are definitely NOT non stick with or without oil.
@@Yalnif5200 I am so glad I did some research before blindly ordering from a company that clearly doesn’t support their own product. I appreciate @joethird’s honesty and that they took the time to post about their experience online for others to see so we at least know what we would be dealing with before we spending our money.
Excellent and informative video. These pans are way, way over my budget.
If you're going to spend this much, get All Clad stainless or carbon steel and thank me later..
Thank You. Very informative and to the point. I saw an add pop up before a utube video I wanted to watch an it peaked my interest. I love cooking and my wife has been doing most if not all the cooking because she is working from home. I have bought very well made expensive knives for myself and her to make slicing and cutting easier and we do have some pretty good pans including some cast iron, which I love. So I might be purchasing some Hexclad pans also.
Btw it's "piqued" your interest :-)
Thanks for the great unbiased test!
I'm looking to update all my cookware (except my enameled Le Creuset Dutch oven).
Currently I have stainless steel cookware and it took awhile to get used to cook with them, coming from full teflon coated pans.
I'm glad you mentioned that even the best Teflon coated pans eventually need replacing since I really don't want to have to replace them unless I have to.
The only thing I didn't like was cooking eggs in them, although it's doable with a good preheat and butter or oil warmed up first.
They are not easy to clean.
I'm a big Gordon Ramsey fan so, I know he won't lead me astray.
Thanks again!
You’re very welcome. I’m glad it was helpful!
Don't do that to your wallet mate. You have stainless, you just need some carbon steel or cast iron pans for delicate foods and you are good to go! They won't break down with time, will tolerate high temperatures and don't have any harmful compounds like PTFE at a much lower price point.
Stainless and cast iron are the only way to go
I was given one. I didn't care at first but after a couple of years i need to admit these are crazy sturdy reliable and easy to clean. You can litterally fry rice in it and the sticky residue will go away easy. I would recommend it.
Nope
I'd like it NOT to stick so it doesn't fuck up my meal :)
@@tastyhamlearn how to cook with them then and not use them like normal non-stick pans :)
Hi Andrew: Loved this video. Do you know if they ship to Toronto, Ontario Canada? Thx
Great concise, fair, and objective review. Stats, facts and less the bs.
My pans warped with regular use. HexClad refused to replace them. I swapped them out for Made In. Never happier.
Stainless is the way to go.
I have those, stainless steel, cast iron, and carbon steel pans. They all do different things. Hexclad is the daily go-to and replaced the non-stick we used to have. As long as you know what it supposes to do and not expect more, it is a great product. We are using these for 4 years now and not a single scratch yet, it is very durable. and clean well.
It won’t survive Asian moms and Asian in-laws… I know from experience
uh, no, they make stainless steel, cast iron, and carbon steel for any purpose. and they can all be seasoned. what do you do with them now?
Why wouldn't you use your carbon steel pan for nonstick? Works great and you don't get exposed to PFAS coatings that way.
@@hwoarang2001do your asian moms use metal chopsticks to cook or forks? Thats the one weakness I thought of from watching this video. The pattern is great for metal spatulas and spoons, but anything with a point would be able to scrape off the nonstick.
According to this video if the nonstick is scraped off the company will replace the pan.
To me it is pice of s€£t
I'm grateful for watching this prior to buying.Thank you!
We have a few of these and they're great. I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with the handle. They stay cool.
At the moment, I'm in a process of buying a great cookwares that suits my needs. Thank you for your honest review.
It's important to preheat the pan before adding food. I lightly oil the food with a silicon brush before adding to the pan and dont have any issues. Cooks quickly and evenly. For eggs, I use a spray oil.
Great review as people are always shopping and comparing for the best nonstick pans - can you please consider comparing the HexClad with the Circulon nonstick cookware since Circulon is supposedly the best nonstick cookware on the market right now.
Thank you for your reviews! I've been a subscriber since you were in the hundreds and I hope you continue to find success! And thank you for really focusing on the stainless steel. The world really needs to move away from nonstick, if for no other reason than the development of fond... Yum! Thanks again!
I appreciate you for following from the beginning! There will be much more content on stainless steel in the coming weeks and months!
The great thing about cookware is there are a ton of options for all cooking styles, preferences, and budgets - each with their pros and cons.
I have a basic HexClad pan set. If you buy them expecting normal non-stick performance you WILL be disappointed. In a limited apartment kitchen it lets me keep one set of pans instead of a set of non-stick and another of stainless. I have beautiful All-Clad D5/Copper Core pots, and a Le Creuset Dutch oven, but don't feel I need their pans with the HexClad pans in my kitchen. Sure, I can't cook eggs without some butter in the pan, but you know what makes eggs delicious? Butter!
Exactly! I never cook eggs without some butter in the pan, like you say, it makes them more delicious. I just bought 4 Hexclad pans and I'm looking forward to many great meals. I also bought a teflon pan from Amazon for $112, I'm interested to see how it compares to the Hexclad.
My wife would of loved these pans if she was still around, our hobby used to be cooking. We would go to the mall and go to Williams Sonoma for Christmas presents. She would go in the store and do all of her shopping while I walked around, she would finish buying my Christmas presents and I would go in after her and get hers. Christmas morning she would get wustoff knives, an apron and a couple other utensils, I’d get some stuff for the grill and she snuck out and went to Lowe’s to buy me a new Weber gas grill.. there’s not a day that goes by I don’t see something like these pans that make me think of my sweet young wife that I desperately miss. Be good to your wives men, never forget the promise you made her and always look at her like the first time you seen her, being married with love between a man and a woman is the foundation for life, it is a beautiful thing, never take it for granted.
Thanks for sharing. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss
I’d love to see you do a review of Starfrit The Rock pans.
They work on a very similar concept to these hexclad pans, and I’ve been using them myself for almost 10 years now.
But if it turns out there’s a better option, i’d be happy to switch.
I just got the 6 piece pan set and I’m glad I seen your video atleast there’s insight on the items 😁
Since the non stick qualities for these seem to require the use of butter or oil, maybe we should be comparing their performance to standard stainless steel pans.
I show you how HexClad performs versus All-Clad stainless steel in this video: ua-cam.com/video/gUMbG9LuuHA/v-deo.html
First time seeing your videos. I like the transparency.
I’ve got the big 13 inch brazier, and love it. Works fantastic with my induction top
Interesting about the concave base - how does that affect the performance on induction hobs? If my hob won't work with the pan at first it never will, as the base will never get flattened out...
Heyyy! I just got these and wanted to know for rice what temperature should I boil the water? Because when I turn down to low hear after to cook rice it burns it because it’s still hot 🥲
These are great pots and pans. So easy to clean. I love my set.
I have had one of the Hexclad Fry pans from Costco from 2 years ago mainly for eggs. Cook well but eggs tend to stick and cleaning is tedious. You have to hold the pan at an angle under bright light to make sure all food is washed off. Again with eggs this can be a real pain. For Steaks, Meat Balls and Pork Chops it works great!
Then you'd really like carbon steel or cast iron.. just get cheap non stick for eggs.
My guy if your eggs are stickign to your pan, you need to take better care of your pans. Eggs should NEVER stick and the only clean up should be the oil/butter remnants.
Are you cooking with medium or high heat. Eggs should be fine with low heat. Hexclad suggests to use only with low or mediim
I’ve cooked eyes in my pans and the clean up was easy. Even while teaching my little kid how to cook eyes with them.
I love my pan. Had over year still work great
Thanks for sharing. Can you recommend a good healthy, nonstick pan and stainless steel set?😊
I have been using HexClad for several years and absolutely love it. Except for cast iron, it's about all I use.
Good review. They're not perfect for every possible thing and I still use my (beloved) cast iron for some things, but they're great day in and day out cookware. The cleaning is really easy.
Excellent Review very informative 😎
Thank you 😃
Nothing beats my #1 go to pan, my Cast iron one! :D
Tawa... is a very flat frying pan used for flat breads like roti and dosa in South East Asia and elsewhere. I'm hoping to buy a Tawa, but I have been indecisive because I'm trying to decide on the best material.....i.e. aluminium or steel etc.
It appears Hexclad has Tawa amongst it lists of pans. Has anyone tried Hexclad Tawa? Would you recommend it for flat breads?
I'm asking because of the situation with the oil requirements.
Did they send it to you pre-scratched with holes in, or was that just after a couple of hours of use?
That "Performance warranty" is wonky. But your review is interesting. Freekin Good Reviews liked the pan too and it has held up after a year of use.
I bought one 8 inch pan from them on cyber Monday. Wanted to test them out before I bought the set. Loved the pan. Now I got the set. Works great. Just follow the directions it comes with and reseason it every now and then.
Wait how the fuck do you season nonstick surfaces or even stainless steel????
@@unputocalvo well you’re just seasoning the stainless hex pattern. Wipe oil on the inside of the pan. Heat it up until it smokes a bit and then let it cook and wipe it out. Takes like 5 minutes
@@meatsloth333 But that's the thing, you can't season stainless steel at all. It's too smooth and the seasoning, the polimerized fat that's left over from burning the oil, has absolutely nothing to grab on to unlike cast iron, which is very porous, or carbon steel. Whatever seasoning you might manage to get onto the steel will go away after the first time you cook and wash the pan.
Even worse, smoking oil on a pan that has a nonstick coating is going to affect the nonstick, since they are only safe up to 165°C and even olive oil, which has a relatively low smoke point, smokes at 180°C.
Did you season them properly after you bought them like it says to?
What coating do they use ? Is it Teflon like in nonstick pans ?
Great video many thanks Tony 🇬🇧
Great review. Very thorough!
Thank you!
I like mine. I was replacing pans 2 to 3 times a year. Mine are starting to look rough after 3 years but they work fine. Bought some for my daughters too.
I always end up using cast iron. I love the features other sets have but I seem to just go to the basics of cast iron time and time again. I might try hex clad one day.
Hi, have you done All-Clad vs. Mauviel yet?
We replaced our All-clad pans with HexClad two months ago. The All-Cads did not heat very well on our induction range even though they are magnetic. The HexClads heat extremely quick on the induction range. Better yet, HexClad reacts to induction from rim to rim where All-Clad did not. I highly recommend HexClad for induction cooking.
thanks for this reply, I have been having issues trusting "induction ready" cookwear. I gave friends a nice set of All-Clad due to that, bought a set of pans that work, but not well.
Allclad are the best, hands down no question. The only household set with proper handles
I bought the 13-piece set for my wife at Christmas and we have been loving them. They replaced a worn-out set of T-Fal and the difference was night and day. Sure, they are pricey but we have already gotten our money's worth, using them for breakfast and dinner almost every day.
If I bought my wife a set of pans for Christmas she'd throw them at me.
I love my t-fal skillet. I can buy 6 or 7 of them for the price of one hex clad. Hex has a weasel warranty for a $200 skillet.
@@reallyyouthful It's what she asked for.
@@philwood9760 I got tired of buying new T-Fal skillets every year when the handle got loose and the non-stick coating wore off. I'd rather buy one great skillet I can keep for years instead of a budget skillet I have to replace every 12 months.
@@piratepress6958learn how to use a proper stainless steel pan and it’ll last longer than Hexclad
Lived through American Kitchen, all-clad, tramontina and others. Hex-Clad is perfect for my style of cooking. Heats up quickly, evenly and holds heat at steady for a long time.
May I introduce you to our lord and saviour, the carbon steel pan?
Damn bro are you ok? That ad read at the end sounded soul crushing
I wonder if you can get a silicon grip for the handle for better handling?
"Fantastic review of the HexClad lineup! For viewers considering this brand, it's crucial to understand what sets HexClad apart, particularly regarding non-stick materials and PFAS concerns. HexClad uses a hybrid technology that combines stainless steel with a PFOA-free non-stick coating. While they emphasize that their products are PFOA-free, those concerned about broader PFAS chemicals should note that not all non-stick coatings specify about other PFAS beyond PFOA.
For those new to the term, PFAS are a group of chemicals used in various industrial applications, including non-stick cookware, for their resistance to heat, water, and oil. While PFOA, a specific type of PFAS, has been largely phased out due to health concerns, it's wise to inquire or research further into the specifics of any non-stick material if you're aiming to avoid all PFAS types.
HexClad offers a unique design that promises durability and ease of cleaning, but always consider how the cookware aligns with your health standards and environmental values, especially if minimizing chemical exposure is a priority for you. Always a good idea to use these pans within recommended temperature limits to ensure safety and longevity!"
I always joke to my wife that every UA-camr says "this bad boy" when talking about a product and/or say "without further ado". She didn't believe me. So I said, "pick any video" and she picked this on and we began to watch. Within the first minute we hear, "without further ado". We laughed so hard...oh, and we bought some Hexclad cookware on Amazon after watching this. Thanks for the laugh and the review!
It's mandatory
never heard that anywhere
Amazing review thank you
Just bought a $999 bundle for $599 Black Friday deal. Can’t wait to try them out. 🤩🙌
So it's basically just a lesser non-stick pan, but with the ability to use metal utensils on top of the cooking surface?
Like a cross between stainless steel and nonstick, but halved the advantage of both. (Though at a price greatly higher than both, using marketing hype.)
I’ve had my $700 set of hex clad pans for almost 10 years, and I love everyone of them, including the wok.
Great review, thank you.
What is the non stick surface made of?
Would like to see a review of commercial grade stainless steel cookware like Vigor. Can't find any reviews anywhere except manufacturers review. Is it good for home cooking?
Haven’t tested that brand but I’ll check it out and potentially add it to the queue
Best review. Thank you
Great review, but I have one question. Is the non-stick material Teflon or ceramic? I do not believe I heard any reference to this subject in the video.
So you don't suggest putting Hexclad in the oven? They show that in their promotional videos? Thx great video!
Thanks for your review. I am about 3 weeks in to using these products and I am on the verge of sending them back. I did a lot of research and watched so many reviews before investing but my experience with them so far doesn't match. I have followed the guidelines to seasoning the pans before use, sticking to low heat etc etc and I still cannot cook an egg without it sticking! Am I missing something?
No. They are just not that good. A good iron pan or stainless with some knowledge beats non stick and these pans all day long. All of the above can be nonstick and last more than a lifetime.
All you have to do is not stick them in a dishwasher and make sure they are dried after washing. It’s not hard, just a few mins of care and you’ll have pans that piss all over these and will last forever
If you are using it like a non-stick pan, it will stick. You need to use it like a stainless steel pan and it feels very non-stick. This means pre-heat pan, add plenty oil, etc.
@@hiddenbunny7205 Exactly right!
Nice review. Debating on gettimg myself a set
Each time I fry fish using my 12” wok hexclad it always stick and burns using olive oil. Don’t know why but would like an answer please…Thanks
Not sponsored but got free pans to review and affiliate links. Hey surprise the refiew is pretty decent...
Cheers Sherlock
I just bought a 7 piece set from Costco today. I washed them, seasoned them. When wiping the excess oil out of the pan after seasoning, the paper towel is black. Doesn’t that mean the bottom is peeling and I’ll be eating the surface as I use them?
Ive had mine for years and the bottoms are warped not flat anymore tough to cook items flat in the pan nice to know they are covered by warranty
I own HexClad pans and really like them the only cooking I do not do in them either involves high heat or omelets.
what i didnt hear you say is, how even is the heat over the whole cooking surface, I cant seem to find a good pan that the heat is evenly across . even to the edges . dont mind paying for a pan as long as it even aross the whole cooking surface. please help thanks for any advice.
I love these pans. Exactly what I’ve been looking for to replace toxic nonstick pans.
This has the same non stick coating as other non stick pans. They aren't toxic.
How can i buy dis cookware set
I tend to stick with my smooth cast iron. My usual concern with these celebrity endorsed products is how long have they been in business and where it's really made. I couldn't find how long hexclad has been in business so while a lifetime guarantee in nice to hear when the company folds up shop in a couple years how will that help you? Also the thing is made in China and I've seen a whole lot of poisons come out of China into the US claiming to be safe. Thanks Gordon but I'll just stick to my well seasoned plain old cast iron that I've been using for the last 40 years.
I liked when ATK said it’s not a true none stick cause it requires oil in the pan - forgetting that most food gets oil added in by default as a cooking ingredient, NOT JUST, means to nonstick.
Do you know how Hexclad is different than the Masterchef pans? I have a Hexclad and like it, but the Masterchef set looks the same.
I now have four different HexClad products and love them all. They are heavier then traditional pans (thicker) and do hold the heat better. I have several "AllClad" and one "Made-In" pans, and I really like the HexClad for most everything. If I need to put a frying pan in a really, really hot oven, I use the stainless steel AllClad, otherwise I grab the HexClad. Really easy to clean up too, and I love the glass lids with vent hole that can fit several other products. Will look for a deal on a larger set to get more of the same manufacturer someday. I missed out on a special at Costco for a nice set... I should have jumped on it, knowing I could have returned it later, it being Costco and all.
Look a HexClad bot
No one worth a damn would choose those dog shit pans over All Clad (or any other real cookware)
Really great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you, I'm glad you didnt nix the Hexclad, I just bought 4 of their pans, the hype really wasn't why I bought them, honestly I liked the way they looked, I read they heat evenly, I like their weight but I knew they weren't perfect and I was willing to live with their imperfections like I live with my very imperfect self. I did buy a $112 teflon pan from Amazon just for the heck of it to see how it does against the Hexclad pans. Thank you for the well done, honest review, new subscriber. Take care.
Thank you! Let me know what you think of them
@@PrudentReviews I will, they will all arrive soon and I'll test them out, I have a feeling the Teflon pan will do eggs better than the Hexclad but I look forward to using the Hexclad for meats mostly. I will try eggs on the Hexclad but I'm going to cheat and use butter, I love butter with my eggs but I will try to fry eggs on the seasoned Hexclad without butter also. I'll let you know how it goes, I'm looking forward to watching your past reviews, I'm a kitchen gadget, appliance nut, just can't stop buying new stuff to test out. Take care.
I never use non-stick.
I love my Hestan Nanobond skillets and pans.
Well mine never flattened out, and actually warped more with using the induction burner, I sent them a picture and they admitted they were warped and said it was from rapid high heat, since I do not cook on high heat ever, especially when using nonstick pans, then it clicked on me that they did not warp until I started using them on my tabletop induction burner which rapidly heats up, and HexClad told me that this type of warping IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. so I have two warped pans now
What are your thoughts on carbon steel pans by De Buyer versus Hexclad ?
Both are versatile (nonstick and good for searing) but there are some major differences. Carbon steel requires seasoning and reacts with acidic foods, but it will last forever and a well seasoned surface can be very slick. HexClad doesn’t require seasoning and you can cook anything, but because of the nonstick material integrated into the surface, it’s not going to perform as well 10 years in.
I know it shouldn't go in the dishwasher but my parents won't clean it by hand. Would it still be a good pan for them?
I always recommend hand washing but HexClad is dishwasher safe, so they should be fine
First off, bacon comes out very well in a toaster oven. This cookware sounds very interesting, but the price is up there. For $140, I can get a 3 piece HENCKELS Capri Granitium set which performs very well, some of the best pans I've tried.
so did they let you keep the product or did you have to return?
if they let you keep then this is paid
Doesn't teflon only last a few years? Even if you avoid metal utensils completely? Something about how the teflon breaks down eventually with heat?
So hexclad pots/pan is versatility and mid tier ?
Are these oven safe? What is the maximum temp you can apply to theses pans?
Yes, they’re safe up to 500F
So with the lifetime warranty and performance based replacement, does that mean they'll replace them periodically, indefinitely?
Reading the above comments: NO
I LOVE my Hexclad pans. I got rid of my stainless. I only have my well loved cast iron, and Hexclad.
It's the first pan I've had that actually lives up to "non-stick". I bought the 8".. used it a couple times and I'm blown away by the quality. It's expensive, but I'm really happy with it so far.
What types of pans you owned before?
How long have you had it?
great video !!
Mine were warped and I’ve used them for months and it’s still uneven. When I filed a claim, they said warping is not covered under the warranty. I’m not sure if I just didn’t word it correctly? But I’m not happy with the product.
I would follow up on that. Warping should definitely be covered, especially if they arrived that way and never evened out.
