Now, that does not in any way make this pan a pain in the ass to clean. A bit of scrubbing, soap and water, maybe some Bar Keepers Friend, some baking soda make short work of any of the like build-up that comes at the bottom of this pan.
So, I guess it's still easier than a stainless steel pan that's got some food stuck onto it, but it's by no means as easy to clean as a nonstick pan.
Because of its nonstick enough qualities, it's really great for searing meat and the crust that you can get on this thing is absolutely beautiful.
And not only that, because there is no actual like nonstick coating that I have to worry about, I can take a blowtorch to this and sear the top of whatever I want. If I wanted to use open flame on this thing, I will do it with all confidence.
And because it is still just that much easier to clean, it has taken a lot of work from this guy as well.
It just fulfills that one sweet spot of being nonstick enough, easy enough to clean, dishwasher friendly, and extremely durable. There is a lot of convenience in that combination.

This is currently my favorite pan to make goat curry out of. A process that requires you to sear meat, sweat out vegetables, and slow cook a very thick and burnable gravy for a long period of time.

Because at the end of the day, as far as like my everyday personal pan for rough cooking such as searing meats or making curries or things that just like require me to scrape the bottom of the pan without having to worry about it, but still being easier to clean than my cast iron and nonsticks, yeah.

There were some white marks that looked concerning at first, but it turned out to just be metal dust from the utensils transferring onto the pan. It wiped right off with no permanent damage.
Next, I took a serrated steak knife, attached two magnets weighing 130 g, and rubbed it across the pan 15 times, and there were still no scratches or damage.
After that, I put a heavyduty Scotch-Brite sponge green side down on the pan, placed the 5lb weight on top, and pushed it back and forth 20 times. Again, there was no damage.
After all that, I wanted to see if any of these tests affected the non-stick performance. So, I ran the same egg test again with a half teaspoon of oil and 2 grams of butter. And fortunately, the egg didn't stick at all.
After all three rounds, the Viking showed zero signs of pitting or corrosion.
But the Viking handled the worst case scenario without any damage at all.
The titanium surface doesn't scratch, and after 4 months of almost daily use, it performs exactly the same as day one.
The Viking wipes clean easily with no residue buildup, and because of that, the performance hasn't changed.

Carbon steel, with its lower carbon content, is more pliable. In other words, it can be bent and shaped without cracking.

durability about Carbon Steel Pans Carbon Steel Pans EXPLAINED (What They Don’t Tell You)

Cites acid resistance, durability, ease of cleaning, flexibility, maintenance, scratch resistance, seasoning durability

carbon steel pans are made thinner and significantly lighter than cast iron while still being incredibly durable.
For acidic foods, stainless steel and enameled cast iron are better options since there's no seasoning to damage and those materials are non-reactive.
But you don't need to do it often and after you do it once, you realize how easy it is.
In my experience, mild dish soap does no harm.
One of the biggest advantages of carbon steel is its durability. It won't crack or break if you drop it, which can happen with cast iron.
And there's no coating or enamel that can wear down or chip.
You can use metal utensils and even cut food in it, although I try to avoid that because the sharp edge will scratch the seasoning.
It’s one of the rare products that gets better with age. The more you use it, the better the seasoning develops.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The original grease is petroleum-based, chosen for its low cost and basic compatibility with metal and plastic parts. Over time, especially during repeated heavy mixing, this grease starts to break down.
Heat from the motor and friction inside the gear case causes the oil to separate and seep out, leaving behind a sticky residue and dry spots on critical gear teeth. Once the lubricant thins or migrates, metal parts lose their protective buffer.
Service records and technician interviews point to a pattern. Mixers that have their original grease replaced with a modern synthetic alternative run cooler, leak less, and show less internal wear after years of use. For owners willing to open the case and swap out the petroleum grease, the improvement is immediate.…
The so-called lifetime claim in practice often means the lifetime of the first round of heavy baking, not the decades-long service many expect.

Cites acid resistance (against), dishwasher safe (against), durability (against), maintenance (against), rust resistance (against), scratch resistance (against), seasoning durability (against), warp resistance (against)

The one major limitation with carbon steel pans is acidic foods. A squeeze of lemon or a splash of wine won’t hurt, but prolonged exposure to acidic foods, like tomato sauce, will strip the layer of seasoning right off the looking surface.
Bare cast iron pans have this same issue.
Carbon steel consists primarily of iron, which rusts when exposed to water and air.
The fact that you need to season carbon steel pans may seem like a major downside, and for some, it's a deal-breaker.
The two rules that I do highly recommend following are, one, don’t put carbon steel pans in the dishwasher. The hot water, steam, and dish detergent will ruin the seasoning.
And two, always dry your pans completely after washing them. Even a well-seasoned pan can rust if moisture is left on it for long periods.
if you notice tiny black bits on your food when you cook with carbon steel, or if you wipe the pan with a paper towel and the paper towel turns black, that's a sign that you need to deep clean your pan. Those black bits are either tiny pieces of the seasoning flaking, burnt food, or both.
The one thing you need to be cautious about is warping. If you expose it to drastic temperature changes, like rinsing it under cold water when it's piping hot, the metal can expand and contract unevenly, which leads to a wobbly, unusable pan.

If you're like me and have used a nonstick pan, you know once they're scratched or you get a divot, it's time to throw those things away. I found that I usually got 12 months with a nonstick pan before I started seeing chips or scratches in many cases.

I don't think anything that has a nonstick coating is capable of lifetime service, but that's just my opinion.

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.

Joe earns commission on this. Stated in the source: “I do have an Amazon affiliate link for them down in the description of the video. If you buy anything through those links, I do make a small commission, but it doesn't change the price that you pay 1 cent.” Kept and labelled rather than dropped: a paid endorsement is still evidence, and you should be the one to decide what it is worth.

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.
