So, the question remains, is HexClad the right pan or pot for you? If you want nonstick with the ability to use metal utensils, this fits the bill. The lifetime warranty is wonderful as long as they make it easy to fix something when it truly has gone bad. I've enjoyed having HexClad as our main pot and pan set here…

I wanted to test if HexClad could pan sear, so we set the Breville to 325° and placed the HexClad 8-in pan. I put down some butter, a bit of neutral oil, salted the top of a bone-in chicken thigh and let it go for 7 minutes. Here's what our chicken looked like at the flip. Lovely golden brown, just the kind of sear I…

Luckily, since we've been using these pans at home for 18 months, I have a clip of the pan in the oven showing that they're oven safe and can go from range to oven without any trouble.

After the chicken pan sear test, it's a great time to test how easy these pans are to clean. I started by simply rinsing it under cold water and here's what didn't come off with just cold water. To finish things up, I grabbed my Grill Rescue Forever Sponge with a little bit of Dawn dish soap, scrubbed for 15 seconds…

To further torture test the HexClad pan for cleaning, I grabbed a piece of American cheese out of the fridge and let it go for 4 minutes at 350°. I turned the Breville off, grabbed the ThermoWorks turner, and the cheese came right off. I don't think it's something any of us do with frequency at home, but I thought it…

we don't need any oil or butter down first. It's just batter straight into the pan with an easy flip after 60 seconds. I can fit about three 4-in pancakes into the 12-in pan comfortably, and there's room to turn them without making a mess.

I wanted to test the evenness of the pan when it's heating up. So, I took our FLIR camera and snagged a video of how the pan looks under thermal imaging. Before the sear test with the chicken thigh, I checked the pan with the camera and here's what it looks like on thermal. It's what I would expect, even heating…

When I first got my HexClad, I was cooking on gas and that's been no problem.

Another thing I really like about HexClad is its versatility. It cooks more like non-stick cookware but since the surface isn’t completely smooth, it grips food and sears meat better than most traditional non-stick pans.

I’ve used it to cook crispy bacon, brown and roast chicken, and fry chicken cutlets, and it performs similar to stainless steel. It heats up quickly, maintains a stable temperature and delivers consistent results.

The bacon came out perfectly crispy and the chicken seared nice and even.

I had no issues with eggs sticking as long as the surface was greased with plenty of oil or butter.

HexClad performed well, not only were the bubbles uniform across the cooking surface which indicates even heating, but it was one of the fastest pans to boil the water.

As you can see in the results, HexClad’s heat retention is above average and better than brands like Calphalon, Hestan, and All-Clad.

Another benefit I want to highlight is how easy Hexclad is to clean. It cleans up like a typical non-stick pan. Unless you really scorch it, a quick rinse with soap and water will do the trick.

releases food better than stainless steel.

Will they eventually fail and need replaced under warranty? In my experience, I think so.

I'll be honest, I never cook this on a hex plad. And here's why. The omelette sticks and scorches right here in the center of the pan.

So, in this round, hexclad doesn't quite match the performance of a good non-stick pan.

But I kept checking because I was worried it might creep toward 500°, the point where Teflon can start breaking down.

In our test, the edges of the pan stayed cooler, about 320 to 355°, making the oil splash and bake around the rims.

Which makes me question, what's the point of buying a pan that's advertised as fully nonstick, the kind you can supposedly cook anything on if you still need oil to make it work. Because if you're going to use oil anyway, you could just use a regular stainless steel or cast iron pan.

The key takeaway here is that you absolutely can sear meats and cook eggs in a HexClad pan but All-Clad non-stick pans are better for cooking with little to no grease.

As you can see, both HexClad and All-Clad did a great job searing and roasting the salmon. The outside had good texture and color while the inside was cooked just right.

Cites searing and crust, ease of cleaning, even heating, heat resistance, heat retention, heating speed, non-stick surface

HexClad cookware is oven-safe up to 500°F but it’s not safe to use under the broiler.

The only noticeable difference between the two pans is that the HexClad pan barely had any residue or discoloration from the oils. It took less than 30 seconds to clean.

Because HexClad’s cooking surface has non-stick coating beneath the steel hexagons, it releases food better than a traditional stainless steel pan.

This time, the eggs slid around both pans without any sticking.

Both heat up fast and evenly, both retain heat well, you can use both for just about any cooking technique and ingredient.

At first I thought HexClad was a gimmick, but after using it for several months, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how well it cooks.

This cookware can sear better than most non-stick pans and releases food better than stainless steel.

HexClad cookware is oven-safe up to 500°F but it’s not safe to use under the broiler.

I’ve tried cooking eggs in an ungreased HexClad pan at a lower temperature in the past and the results were even worse.

But again, after preheating for the same amount of time at the same temperature, HexClad’s thinner walls made the cooking surface hotter and the eggs overcooked slightly.

It's uh nice and well-formed all the way around. And if you look at the bottom of the pan, it's the same deal. In fact, I'm going to try to get this so you don't get your eyeballs glared out right here. But, the surface of this is perfect. There's no discoloration anywhere. It looks pretty much like a brand new pan.

Hex patterns on the side. No problem there. No discoloration. No busted hexagons or anything. And then down on the surface here, you can see how even that looks. There's not any problems with this.

So again, you wouldn't think that this had anywhere near this kind of usage on it. It's still in perfect shape as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, this is ceramic, but I haven't seen enough data saying that it's not going to be bad for a ceramic coating, too. And even if there was data that said that, I still wouldn't put them in the dishwasher. I just hand wash them, hand dry them, and then they just stay perfect. It's not that difficult to do.

This one uh has a few scratches on here. It's not so bad. But again, this would still pass as a new pan, too.

we don't really have any imperfections, we don't have any scratches anywhere, there's no areas where that nonstick coating has come off. So, from a physical appearance standpoint, all of these pans look cosmetically perfect.

You can see that my rim is still nice and shiny.

I use them on my pans and I haven't seen any problems with it, but it is a lot more abrasive.

After 2 years of use, my Hexclad pans have held up really well.

And also when I clean them, I make sure I don't use anything overly abrasive.

Well, that's where there's a little bit of fallacy with HexClad. HexClad pans are not nonstick pans. HexClad pans are hybrid nonstick. This is one of the things that they kind of run into some problems with sometimes because yes, they have a ceramic nonstick coating, but those raised little bits of stainless steel are…

But you can feel it try to stick just that little bit. See even if I try to swirl this around, it's not really going anywhere. There is a little bit friction there. But you can see I can move the egg around, no problem.

And that's because if I were to just stack this in here like this, then the bottom of this pan is going to be rubbing directly on the top of this other HexClad pan, and that could damage it over time, especially if this rotates around.

Just because HexClad says that this surface is really strong. In fact, on their website, they say that this is almost indestructible. There's going to be a repeating theme to this video, and that is just because HexClad claims certain things about these pans doesn't mean that you have to push the limits all the time,…

if you put your pans into the oven, these are only rated up to 400° F, but the pans can handle more than that. So, just remember that if you're cooking over 400°, that you can't [music] put these in the oven, otherwise you can shatter them.

I got a bit of a hard time with that. I mean, I don't want to say that Hexclad's lying about that or anything, but 900° is pretty hot. And the reasoning behind it, I'm not really sure if I buy it or not.

I do have a few little scratches in the handle, but it's no big deal. There's one right there. And in fact, that scratch, I believe was there right out of the factory.

I personally won't use metal utensils on any of my pans. I'm just not going to do it. I don't care if HexClad says that you can. I never have, and I never will. I'll use wooden utensils, or I'll use silicone utensils, but it's never going to be any kind of metal on this. It makes a lot of sense when you look at this,…

That's much different than the complaints you might have seen in other YouTube videos and from people complaining online elsewhere. Cuz I see people with all this stuff starting to chip off of here, the pans just not being nonstick at all, and everything's sticking to them, and all sorts of other complaints.

In fact, um HexClad does have a lifetime warranty on their pans, but uh usually a lifetime warranty is the lifetime of the pan. It's not your lifetime.

Now, this is made for stainless steel pans. And if you're going to use it on a HexClad pan, you got to be a little bit careful because you don't want to be using that on that nonstick surface. You can really wreck that, I think.

Remember, keeping them clean is a big deal because if you got stains on a pan and you repeatedly heat that pan up again with those stains on it, those will get harder and harder to remove.

Since then, Hexclad introduced its PTFE and PFAS free terabond ceramic coating. On paper, that removes the safety concerns, but ceramic generally wears faster, scratches more easily, and loses its nonstick sooner than PTFE hybrids.
