Henckels is best known for its kitchen knives, but they also make two low-cost cookware collections that are worth buying. The first is called Clad H3.

They're essentially the same thing as HexClad but at a much lower price. The HexClad 12-inch pan is $150, but you can get a Henckels Paradigm 3-pan set for just $89.
