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.

One thing that you're guaranteed to get with All-Clad is durability. When you pick up and hold these pans, you can feel it. They're thick and heavy, so they stay flat on the stove and won't dent or warp. And the handles won't ever budge.

Almost every stainless steel cookware brand says their pans will last a lifetime, but All-Clad is one of the few that can prove it since the company has been around for so long.
Thousands of customers have owned All-Clad pans for decades, and although they may look a little tarnished, they still perform wonderfully.
And here's a pan that I've been using for about 7 years.
