This is great for making a large batch of soup um for you know the winter. You can do your chowters or whatnot, but it's a pretty great big versatile size.

I will say this is nice for larger families. If you've got, you know, uh five or six in your family, this is a perfect pot.

So it is a really good size. You can do a small chicken in here. You can do a beef roast in here. So if you wanted to make a smaller batch of beef bagon for like a family of four or five, this guy is perfect.

This is also the one that I cook all of my sourdough um round uh little bowls and the sourdough loaves, the round ones in. This pot is perfect for my batch of it. It's got enough height. I don't feel like you need to have a second like specialty Dutch oven for your bread baking. I do mine right in this pot and it just…

This is great for mac and cheese, making a peach crisp, a small chowder for, you know, like a small soup for about four people. This is the perfect size for it.

So, it is great for smaller families, or if you're on your own, you can make smaller sourdough loaves than this as well. This can make you a much bigger one, but this is perfect for making a slightly smaller loaf.

Um, again, this is a great pot to have. I use this for a lot of my side dishes.

But they are great great products for both making breads, making soups and roasting in.

these stainless steel d3 actually produce nice non-stick bacon the way you get non-stick bacon in stainless steel is simply to start the bacon off in a cold pan give it an early flip and then cook it as normal and it's non-stick

i note that these two steaks are over a pound each and they fit in this 12 inch d3 nicely and the pan maintained a sear i give those a good two minutes or so on the first side look at that crust that's a very nice crust

When you place it on the heat, a copper pan heats up very quickly. And when the flame is turned down it cools fast too. This responsiveness to the stove's heat settings gives you excellent control, and it's what makes copper cookware a pleasure to use.

Our top-rated pans offered plenty of cooking space, Low flared sides, they just make it easier to reach under food with a spatula and they help moisture evaporate so food browns more quickly.

All right, I have to admit that while I loved cooking in copper skillets, their performance only slightly outpaced the pan we already recommend, which is the all-clad stainless 12 inch fry pan with lid.

Based on my real-world testing, Made In lives up to the hype.

As the water heated up, tiny bubbles were uniform across the entire cooking surface, which indicates even heat distribution.

I've run this test with 20 other brands and Made In was the second fastest to boil the water, which is a good thing, but surprising considering the pan is relatively thick.

The last feature I'll highlight is the large cooking surface. The diameter of the 12-inch fry pan's cooking surface is 9.5 inches. Most 12-inch pans are closer to 9 inches, so you get a little more flat space to cook.

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.

So, for those of you wondering, yes, these do work on induction burners. They have a stainless steel exterior and an aluminum core, which makes them compatible with induction technology.

a 20 cm pan is just too small, right? It's too small to really be useful. It's barely enough to fry one egg or maybe a couple of sausages or a small piece of meat, and that's pretty much it.

I think that lack of heaviness, lack of thermal mass, lack of metal, however you want to um describe that, uh for me anyway, I think it made the pan a little bit more difficult to cook in.

And I think one of the reasons I've had so much trouble with eggs in that field is that um those grooves, they uh I think they have not filled in yet and um they're kind of gripping food a little bit when I try and slide it around.

There is [music] a very tiny uh ring around the bottom of the pan which makes it sit up just a little bit. It's barely even noticeable. The Brevel has a temperature sensor in the middle of the cooking surface there and it has to stick up and make contact [music] with the bottom of a pan. Um there's also a logo here in…

Uh, no matter what I tried, I was getting, um, different essentially different cooking zones. I couldn't get the pan heated very evenly and I would put an egg in and sometimes um, part of an egg would stick and part would slide and the egg would come apart. And I think that's because the pan is not heated evenly and…

This uh 10-in pan um I had to work in two batches.

It's [music] um too narrow to lay out strips of supermarket bacon, but it will hold four if you cut them in half.

Let's talk a little bit more about that uneven heating though here. Uh you can really see it with these grilled cheese sandwiches. Give them their first turn there. And you can definitely see where one half of the grilled cheese is toasted and the other uh the butter is melted, but there is no toasting on there. So,…

I've also made some breaded squash and zucchini. And I like these for testing pans because I can lay them out all around the pan. Then when I flip them, I can tell if they're hotter or cooler spots. You can definitely tell that um some of these zucchini are much browner than the others.

And it's just a little bit more uneven and a little bit more difficult to cook in this pan than some others I have reviewed.

And after doing a ton of work on the seasoning and doing a lot of cooking, circling back to eggs, and I got this. And I got to say, I have never seen that [laughter] fried egg before. It's almost like uh orbiting almost like a planet or something. I don't know if that counts as half of a fried egg. never had um a…

And finally, I got to where I found that, uh, just trying different temperatures, if I went really, really low, um, I could get an egg to release, and this is after three or four minutes of setting up very, very slowly. I could get an egg to kind of sort of release and it'll move around, but I still say that egg is…
