lastly number four they're oven proof you want to be able to sear something and then finish the cook in the oven
it is low fuss low maintenance I can use whatever utensils I want in this pan one of the things that makes this different from say a cast iron pan you wash it you don't have to worry about soap and I don't have to worry about seasoning it
the even heat distribution just allows you to get a sear from edge to edge as long as all of the bottom of the pan is touching the element I've never ever had problems with it really really great heat conductor
I can still cook things in it almost as if it was a non-stick pan

Guess what? Stainless steel is induction safe. It is heat coil safe, although you might burn the bottom of the pan.
You don't have to do that with stainless steel. It's oven and dishwasher safe.
It's great for fish. It's great for vegetables. You can also cook gently in it.
you could easily just heat this pan back up. You don't even have to clean it yet, right? I've got tons of stuff in here. There's still flavor in this pan, right?
Searing, sautéing, developing a fond, and then removing the fond through delazing, making a sauce with that, putting it on top of our thing, and we have a final dish all with one pan.

Cites acid resistance, induction compatible, maintenance, oven safe, stovetop compatibility, versatility

Best of all, you can cook almost anything, even acidic foods that need to be simmered for a long time like a tomato sauce because the enamel seals the cast iron making the pan rust proof and non-reactive.
While both regular and enameled cast iron pans are induction compatible, the smoother enameled bottoms can be a little gentler on glass cooktops
Enameled is for the person that never wants to think about seasoning their pan. Enamel doesn't need it.

Cites ease of cleaning, even heating, induction compatible, non-stick surface, oven safe, searing and crust, size and capacity, stovetop compatibility

David Gafford was given the product. Stated in the source: “HexClad sent us these pans over a year and a half ago for us to test and see if we like them.” Kept and labelled rather than dropped: a paid endorsement is still evidence, and you should be the one to decide what it is worth.

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.

Don't buy this frying pan unless you have a gas stovetop. This wobble here, that's a big deal on a flat stovetop. If you have a flat stovetop like mine, absolutely don't buy this pan. If you have coils, I still wouldn't do it.

Firstly, ask yourself, do you really need something that big? Personally, I do not.
the bottom diameter of this pan is approximately 26 cm, so that's very large. And that's too big for most ceramic and induction flat tops.

Second, cast iron retains a significant amount of heat. That heat can radiate back onto the cooktop and cause the burner to shut down if the surface temperature becomes too high
But simply cooking bacon is not the best approach to build an initial layer of seasoning, and here’s why. First, most bacon contains sugar, and that sugar will caramelize and make the surface sticky
Secondly, bacon and other animal fats can become rancid if you cook with those fats and store your skillet without washing them off completely
And lastly, the purpose of seasoning cast iron is to prevent rust. When you cook bacon, the fat only covers the interior of the skillet, leaving the exterior and handle unseasoned and unprotected
