HexClad Hybrid Nonstick 8-Inch Frying Pan, Stay-Cool Handle, Dishwasher-Friendly, Oven-Safe Up to 900°F, Induction Ready, Compatible with All Cooktops

I had read so many reviews before deciding to purchase, and I came to one conclusion from so many people writing bad reviews — you all don’t know how to cook! I have cooked fish, seared a steak, cooked scrambled eggs with cheese, poached an egg, fried bacon, made a bourbon reduction sauce with molasses and the consistent result from all these — everything was cooked to perfection and literally slid right out of the pan. I wanted to try these particular pans because for so long I’ve used Lodge cast iron pans. Don’t get me wrong my cast iron pans are amazing but the constant maintenance can be exhausting. The Hexclad pan is being promoted as a hybrid of stainless steel, the durability of cast iron, and completely non-stick. They didn’t disappoint. Plus they’re so much lighter than my cast iron skillets and cleanups are a breeze. Let me give anyone who reads this a few tips: #1 Follow the directions given in the package. #2 Please, put a buffer between what you’re cooking and the pan. I use beef tallow, lard, or ghee. And please whatever you do, stay away from seed oils. Not only are they extremely unhealthy for you but their high heat points can’t cut it like natural fats. #3 Cook on low to medium heat. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll be surprised at how well these pans heat up. #4 When using any stainless steel utensils, don’t dig into the pan or use a fork with the tines down scraping the bottom, or doing the same thing with a knife, or ….. you get the point. See what I did there? Point? And lastly #5 …… refer back to #2 and you won’t go wrong. Watching some of the videos where someone is cooking scrambled eggs without a buffer — what did you think was going to happen!? SMH Happy cooking! Update: I have used this pan for just about everything and I absolutely love it. It has literally became my favorite pan. Cooking is fun once again and the food tastes better. The ergonomics of the pan handle helps as it stays cool. But don’t put your pan in the oven at 500° and then grab it by the handle because your’re itching for a burn you don’t want. This pan is a little heavier than what most of you are use to with your Teflon pans; that’s because they’re made from quality materials. I am disappointed they’re made in China, but they are designed and planned here in the US. So the reason for writing this update is, and as I stated earlier, I really love this pan. So much so I purchased the complete set. Everyone has their own set of pans they love, and all I’m doing is giving you my two cents worth. As of right now 11.21.2024, Hexclad has their Black Friday sale. Check them out as you won’t be disappointed. Happy cooking!

So far so good. This is an excellent egg pan. With little lubricant, nothing sticks. easily washed. Heats well. Very sturdy. Feels like it will last a long time. Recommended if you can afford it.

This is an attractive, well-made pan. It is easy to clean, and the meat sears nicely. A little expensive, what you get is what you pay for. I would definitely repurchase this frying pan. It looks like it will last me a lifetime. I haven't tried frying eggs in it yet, but after watching some videos, it might be trickier than in some other nonstick frying pans. As for frying eggs in this pan, it's based solely on the YouTube videos I watched. As for meat, I really like this pan.

I bought this pan with high hopes based on its many good reviews, and figured for $100, it should be pretty good. Well, fast-forward five months. I have been using the pan and find that as often as I season it (which involves heating the pan with avocado oil), cleaning it with soft pads, and running it through the dishwasher, MOST THINGS STICK. It does OK with scrambled eggs, but fried eggs (at a low temperature) just leave me with "gunk" that is really hard to remove. I've attached a video. I contacted the company via their very attractive website. I started by filling out a form, which never seemed to be transmitted. It just came back with "submitting." I then went back to the website and saw you could contact them via email. In my first email, I described my problems, attached some videos, and included my Amazon receipt. They quickly replied with an email about how sorry they were that I was having problems, but they said I needed to go to the seller to get a refund (I did not want a replacement). I got back to them, pointing out Amazon has a 30-day refund/replacement policy, and they - the manufacturer - should make good on the warranty. I went back and forth with them several times (all with their ending emails expressing how important my satisfaction was) and then just gave up. They were not at all helpful. THEIR WARRANTY IS USELESS—THEY DON'T WORK TO MAKE GOOD ON IT. I sent them several videos (one seen here) that clearly show the problem, and they eventually said they need clear photos in good light, etc., etc., so that their staff could review my situation with possible solutions. It's just a run-around! A decent company would value its reputation and try to make the customer happy—NOT THIS ONE!! I feel like I wasted $100 on a pan. I EXPECTED BETTER!! Really a disappointing experience. Maybe their pans are good (they should be for the price!), but they really have crummy customer service. Lesson I learned is that companies are like restaurants where good food can be ruined by bad service. This is one of the worst experiences I've ever had with customer service - I would have been happy with my money back or at least an offer of a replacement out of the gate rather than an endless set of scripted (and unhelpful) emails. They botched this big time! BUYER BEWARE. If your pan is not good, return it quickly - otherwise, you may be stuck with it. PLEASE SEE OTHER REVIEWS THAT INDICATE THESE PANS LOSE THEIR NON-STICK FEATURE QUICKLY. There are good pans out that cost much less and really are non-stick. AVOID THIS BRAND!!

These pans are amazing. They heat evenly, don’t stick, and are easy to clean. Handle stays cool. I love them! I bought titanium pans, spent a lot more and after using it twice the pan is discolored and scratched on the bottom. That company will not let you return if you open any of the set and use even 1. Buy these hexclad hybrid brand pand - they are worth the money and you won’t be sorry you bought them!

This Pan heats up so fast, sears well, and cleans easily! After years of cooking on black nonstick pans this HexClad pan is a dream. Cooks faster, cleans up like a dream because nothing sticks, and hardly requires any oil, butter or spray.

A great item but not as as good as Allclad or other layered products. Certainly durable and nonstick but just not worth the price. For me it cooks evenly just like so many others. Get it out of the pan quickly and use a wok.

I can’t say enough good things about this fry pan. It is totally awesome. Makes me want to replace all of my pots and pans with hexclad! Easy to use, nothing sticks to it, and simple to clean. Cooks evenly. Great pan!
