HexClad 20 cm Hybrid Nonstick Frying Pan, Dishwasher & Induction Safe

I'd seen the videos, read loads of reviews both good and not so good, and also watched cookery TV programmes that feature HexClad pans and pots. We'd also bought previous pan sets that were pretty poor quality with respect to being non stick or they tainted the food. So it was with some excitement and nervousness that we ordered this frying pan. We needn't have worried at all! What first meets the eye when you open the box is the strong protective dust bag that holds the pan, and then the incredible quality of it's construction, it's a thing of beauty made from stainless steel with a core of aluminium. The pan is not light, but it's not too heavy either and is well balanced in use with it's cool handle. I followed the usage instruction to the letter, and my first egg cooked in it didn't stick at all. We've been using it for a week now and nothing has stuck. It's the best frying pan we've ever had without doubt. It's easy to clean in the dishwasher on a cooler setting and it always comes out like new. We recommend this product without hesitation!

These pans are NOT worth the money. If you cook eggs regularly then you'll find the eggs stick to the pan and are really difficult to pick up or clean from the surface. Fried, scrambled eggs, omlettes etc are a nightmare even if you cook with a dash of oil or butter. I would strongly recommend you spend your money on another brand - most of these long-life pans don't last - you're better buying a cheaper non-stick and replacing it every year.

Best bit of kit ever. Will last a lifetime. Expensive but the best. Present for the wife who lives it. Cheers

The non stick capabilities are out of this world

Amazing piece of kitchenware. Always been a bit sceptical about the claims of how good these pans are but was really impressed. You have to read the instructions-yes there instructions on how to season it first before cooking in it to get the best results! Nothing sticks to it. Tried pancakes first- they were perfect!! Fried eggs in the evening- perfect!! Expensive but worth it. Will be buying a few more pans now from the huge selection

TL;DR: A great pan overall except for non-stick unless you regularly season the pan, not the best anywhere (except cleaning). Note: Per the instructions, we seasoned the pan upon receiving it, before first usage. Our verdict after 6 months of daily use. Pros: - Excellent searing power and heat distribution. Yes, you should do your cooking at medium to low heat most of the time, but if you like your steak rare, you can quickly form a crust by using high heat. - Easiest pan to clean. Without a doubt and by far, the easiest pan I ever had to clean. Sometimes, it almost feels like running water on it is enough. Also because it is metal-resistant, you can safely use a scourer. - Durability. The pan looks and feels durable. After 4 months of daily usage, it still looks as good as new, the surface is still scratchless and inspires reliability, unlike cheap non-stick pans that were good for the bin after 6 months (despite using silicon ustensils). Cons: - Not very good for non-stick. Like most non-stick pans, it is amazing the first week or two, then gets worse after that. After 4 months of use, the non-stick is just as bad as any average non-stick pan, even if you use some fat. That said, somehow the non-stick still applies when it comes to cleaning, but don't expect your eggs to fly like in the promotional videos (it actually works the first week, not beyond that...). - Value for money. Despite certain qualities, the price point is too high if you consider some excellent and cheaper alternatives, in particular the Tefal Speckled line-up (Mineralia/Natural Force). Conclusion: The Hexclad pan is excellent overall. But the price point is way too high when you compare it to the Tefal Speckled pans. Those only lose to Hexclad in searing power and cleaning, but they come at a fraction of Hexclad's price and their non-stick work wonderfully (making them fairly easy to clean as well). The only issue we have with the Tefal one is their avaiability, especially at the sizes we need (20cm and 22cm). UPDATE: It looks like the non-stick properties can still be outstanding after 8 months of daily use. We just happened to decide to season the pan again before cooking an omelet and the eggs could really fly off the pan (see video), instead of being all stuck a couple weeks before.... Now, while that is great news regarding non-stick, we are not upgrading the rating. If seasoning the pan before each usage is required for perfect non-stick, you might end up using (wasting) a lot of oil just to upkeep the non-stick while this is not necessary with the Tefal pans (the ones with speckled "stone" surface). In that case, one advice would be using some oil you would throw away regardless: we season the pan using the sunflower oil from tuna tins.

I bought this so called non stick HexClad pan on 26 March through Amazon. It was very expensive but after decades of using cheap non stick pans which never lasted, I decided to invest in a HexClad pan. I followed the care instructions to the letter but a month later the sticking issues started. Food sticks to the pan no matter what temperature or oil I use. I contacted HexClad three or four times, sent photos and order number but no response, not even an acknowledgment from them. For such a reputable company I am very disappointed. I will not be buying any of their products again, Be forewarned.

Fantastic pan, makes frying simple with little oil and food tastes wonderful too, not greasy. Easily cleaned.

Tutto ok così come descritto. Prodotto di alta tecnologia e manifattura.

It is everything the ads say about it. I believe I will be happy with this pan far into the future.

Love, love these pans! They are truly non-stick. They are easy to clean. They heat evenly. You can easily sear meat. They are costly, but worth every penny! Look for them on sale.

J avais des doutes… apres tant de poeles que j ai deja essaye. Je les avais toujours que qqes mois avant d avoir les premieres griffes dedans. Pas la hexclad. Le revetement tient super bien et elle est stylish. Ne la chauffez pas trop fort. Une chaleur moyenne suffit et evite que les aliments collent

I’ve been using the HexClad 12-inch hybrid nonstick frying pan, and it’s quickly become one of my most-used pans in the kitchen. The hybrid nonstick surface is a great balance between traditional nonstick and stainless steel. Food releases easily, but I can still get a good sear on meats. It handles eggs, vegetables, and proteins well without sticking when used properly. The pan heats evenly, feels solid and well-built, and the stay-cool handle is comfortable and secure. I also like that it’s induction-ready and works on all cooktops, which makes it very versatile. Being oven safe and dishwasher safe is a big bonus for convenience and cleanup. This isn’t a flimsy lightweight pan — it feels durable and designed to last. As long as you follow the recommended care (medium heat and light oil), performance has been excellent. Overall, this is a high-quality, all-purpose frying pan that performs well across a wide range of cooking tasks and is worth the investment.
