HexClad 8 Inch Hybrid Nonstick Frying Pan with Lid, Stay-Cool Handle, Dishwasher and Oven Safe, Induction Ready, Frying Pan Skillet Compatible with All Cooktops

I receiveeasoned 10 inch pan with lid. First of all the packaging was extremely rigorous. It took me about an hour to unpack pan. The pan is heavy duty and beautiful. I have cooked twice, both times food turned out excellent. Follow directions for heat level to be used. Lower heat levels work best,clean up is simple.Season pan as recommended.

I really thought i messed up. All that money for this pan, and eggs stuck! Well it was only the first day. I seasoned it with some canola oil, heated it up and tried it out. I hate flipping eggs on a good day, and this was NOT a good day. Stuck to the bottom, even with small amount of oil. But i really needed a pan, and, like it or not, it was going to get used hard, every day for breakfast, and sometimes dinner, too! Bacon, sausage, fried potatoes, hamburger, steak, and the eggs. I give up, i just help them with a spatula and steam with a little water. Did that even with a nonstick pan. So i guess i couldnt complain. So, as it turned out, all that greasy food has done a good job seasoning the pan, and i can still use the plastic spatulas and not scratch the surface. When im done, deglazing the pan, and wiping it down cleans it up well. Dont use soap, or youre back to square one. I have a few little grease stains on that nice stainless edge, cosmetic, from pouring out excess oil before cooking. Scrambled eggs pull easily off the pan, nothing gets really stuck, like the first day. It pays to use the pan all the time, and this 12in pan just might last longer than the nonstick ones ive gone through every year, and that would be worth the $200. One thing, like if youve cooked up some meat, like bacon, etc. and you plan on putting eggs next in that pan, deglaze the pan with small amount of water to bubble off all that sticky stuff. Then pour in the eggs and they wont stick at all! Daily use for 2 weeks, and it seems like its broken in. I havent tried an omlette in it yet. I may just chicken out and get another nonstick for omlettes. Next im gonna try the titanium pan, see how that works! Meanwhile we will see how long the hexclad lasts. I thoroughly expect this pan to last me years, which is more than i can get out of the average nonstick! I go through one of those a year. And at $50 a pop, its getting old. If this pan, "pans out", i may get the hexclad wok, next! Update, the more i use it, the more nonstick it gets! This pan is a real workhorse! Update, may 29. Im back to using stainless steel spatulas, they work best of all. Not perfectly non stick. I wont try an omlette in this pan, but you cant beat it for everything else! I use a copper scour pad and hot water to clean it, right off the stove. The outside has developed a brown patina from daily use, not affecting performance. Other thing i noticed. I used to just slap bacon strips on a cold pan heating up. Not with this pan you dont! I heat the pan a bump past Medium. When its heated up, now i put down the bacon and it cooks evenly instead of burning in the center of pan. Live and learn, huh? Uploaded this pan, dont know if it made it. This pan works hard! After using stainless turners, the finish is just fine. Youd just about have to take a corner of a stainless turner and gouge the pan, pressing hard! Who does that? Im thinking of getting a pizza steel. Pressing a sharp pizza wheel might be a good test of the hybrid finish! Im thinking of getting that titanium soon just to spread the work.

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!

Amazing pan, pricey yeah but worth it. Heats very very evenly, easy cleanup nothing sticks to this

This HexClad frying pan definitely feels like a step up in quality. The hybrid surface gives you the benefits of nonstick while still allowing a good sear, which is great for cooking meats, eggs, and everyday meals. Food releases easily, and cleanup is quick without a lot of scrubbing. The pan heats evenly and holds temperature well, so you don’t get hot spots. It also feels solid and well-built without being overly heavy. The handle stays comfortable during use. Overall, it performs like a premium pan and makes cooking easier and more consistent. Worth it if you cook often.

The first one that they sent me turned out to be defective. I realized this after a month past the purchase, so I contacted HexClad. Their support is AI. No humans. However, I got a new pan within a few days. I take one star away because it is not as nonstick as a Teflon pan. When I sear meats or cook bacon I have to scrape it after. Never scrape with metal. Scrape with a pan scraper. Overall, I like this pan and think it is worth the money I paid for it.

Hexclad are the best pans EVER made. They may be a little high priced, but they are worth every penny. Unbelievable how easy it is to clean them. Seriously, these are the best pans I have ever owned. I wish I bought them years ago. You don't even have to scrub them. Nothing sticks to them. I've cooked eggs, porkchops, steaks, and hamburgers and nothing sticks. They are AMAZING.

Excellent cooking tool. Food does not stick most of the time. Three is a small area that will not release when the other areas are done. I e had pancakes fall apart, eggs breaking, etc all in the small top center. It might be a manufacturing anomaly, but it works. It’s been retired for a younger tool.

Soo disappointed with this Hexclad Stick everything frying pan ..I purchased this pan based on its non stick qualities and believing that this very expensive pan would deliver on all its advertised benefits! However I’ve been really disappointed with it and this morning was the final straw for me ! I’ve put up with it until now and given that I’ve had it for over 3 months … I’ve been patient! This morning a simple frying three eggs was a disaster! Tried turning them over to cook further and I had to scrape them off the pan !… I would appeal to customer service to return my money and leave it there ! I really had hoped paying soo much would deliver something different to MY experience…

write now I can't tell the performance, it is a life warranty item

Tot nu toe zeer tevreden. Netjes op matig vuur met n beetje olie ingebrand. Hopelijk gaat tie de rest van mijn leven mee, zoals beloofd.

probably the worst pan we ever bought impossible to keep clean no matter how much you follow their guidelines

Great tools, no scratches, perfect pans.
