The precision of the manufacture really impressed me and I would recommend this cookware to anyone wanting excellence and food cooked to perfection. The lids were a perfect fit and made cooking a pleasure .

5.0 out of 5 stars Wash up like new

These pans provide equal heat distribution throughout its surface, and is so efficient that cooking time is highly efficient and perfectly even. They are fully non stick when used as per instructions, I.e. add oil and heat for 1 minute before starting to cook. Metal utensils, although they grate, do not leave a mark. They wash up without soaking and like new every time. The wok was super hot and efficient.These pans are exceptional, and food appears fresh because of the heating efficiency.

SO great these pans. Hadn’t bought new ones for over 20 years and really crazy about these. Really expensive but I do appreciate their excellent quality especially knowing that no toxic elements in the production of the surfaces !!

5.0 out of 5 stars You need these pans

Absolutely non stick (after seasoning as instructed), even when making scrambled eggs. Really good heat distribution, so it’s much harder to accidentally burn stuff (like when browning onions). Best part is that it’s absolutely fine to use metal utensils. Cleaning is a breeze… often just needs rinsing under the hot tap and a wipe with a cloth or washing up brush.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressed so far!

Followed the seasoning instructions and watched a very useful review on the ideal home website. Really pleased with the results so far!

1.0 out of 5 stars Pans peel after less than a year

T. · 25 January 2025

Very disappointing and not worth the money. They are peeling after less than a year of use. Trying to find a way to sort an exchange or refund but struggling with the Bolo policies.I’m hoping someone will contact me

Very Happy with the pans

The hype is real, but... it turns out you have to know how to cook

Everyone is a critic. Everyone complains the pans aren't non-stick. It also turns out that none of these people giving the pans terrible reviews seem to have the faintest idea how to cook in the first place.If you dump scrambled eggs into a dry non-stick pan of any make or model, they're going to stick. And probably burn. Every single YouTube review tries the "egg test" by putting an egg into a hot, dry pan and guess what happens? If you dump frozen ravioli into a dry non-stick pan, they aren't going to thaw, much less cook, and they'll have scorch marks. If you try to make fried rice in a non-stick wok but don't use a drop of oil, the rice is going to stick and burn. If I tune into your HexClad product review and you tell me that you had to go to the store to buy vegetable oil to season the pans because you don't normally use any in your cooking, I'm going to turn that video right off.So here's the deal: Are HexClad non-stick pans? Yes. And also no. They are hybrid cookware. But they are unique hybrid cookware unlike any I've owned or tried. Must you use some oil in your cooking? 100% yes. It's actually in the instruction sheet that comes with the pans. Also, it's proper technique. How else are you going to ensure proper heat transfer to the food? Again, think about what you're buying here: hybrid cookware. A hybrid of what? A hybrid of non-stick cookware, which, no matter the brand, still will require some kind of oil or fat to be properly non-stick, and of stainless steel cookware, which most definitely requires oil or fat to be non-stick.The bottom line on this whole "they aren't non-stick" nonsense is that they most certainly are. When you want them to be. When you use proper cooking techniques.Now, how did they work out for me? I'm not a chef. I'm a home cook. But I like to think I'm an above average home cook. Two of my good friends are foodies. One of them actually is a chef. The other is a skilled home cook and recently purchased a set of HexClad, which he really likes. We often cook and eat together.First test, after following the seasoning instructions, was with the 12" pan. I made sichuan chicken using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. While skeptical at first, I heated the pan on medium low as instructed, thinking no way is this going to be hot enough. With a little oil in the pan once it came up to temperature (within 2 minutes at that), the chicken cooked and even browned. Developed a nice sear on the outside. Beautiful, gorgeous color. And yet, when turning the meat it released from the pan with zero resistance and no residue left stuck on the pan surface. Removing the chicken, I added a tbsp more oil and in went the peppers and onion. Again, a gorgeous result. Nice searing and no sticking. Added the meat back, added sauce, and the same meal I had prepared the night before in my quality non-stick skillet actually looked far more appetizing. And it was delicious. I dare say, even better due to the increased Maillard reaction over standard non-stick pans. Clean up entailed a wet sponge and a gentle wipe and rinse and it was clean. Nothing stuck. No discoloration. Soap and water finish.After enjoying my meal, I just had to know if the pans were going to pass the test that would make them a keeper for me: the French Omelette test. So I heated up the 10" pan, scrambled and seasoned three eggs, and threw a knob of butter into the pan. Medium low heat was plenty enough to get the job done. I worked quickly, keeping the eggs moving to avoid forming large curds. Once nearly set, I began rolling. The egg came away from the pan without a single stick, and without even the need to add more butter to release it as I would in my regular non-stick pans. Perfect, soft, yellow (not browned), creamy French Omelette. Clean up was a non-event. Aside from a bit of butter there wasn't anything for the soap, water, and sponge to remove. This test sealed the deal for me.I have other decent pans: All-Clad D3 12" and 10" pans, and three non-stick Oxo 8", 10", and 12" pans (top rated by America's Test Kitchen). The All-Clads can work okay, but they were mostly a disappointment. They take too long to heat up, the heat dissipates quickly when food is added, and they have cold spots around the outside where there isn't direct flame. The Oxo pans are actually pretty great, but they have rubber handles which can't go into the oven, and even medium heat just isn't hot enough. Not the pan's fault, but you'll never get a sear on a non-stick surface. My goal here was to have ONE set of pans that could get proper searing, could be used in the oven, and still have non-stick properties. I have achieved that goal with the HexClad pans. My All-Clad and Oxo pans will be gifted to someone. I have no need for them anymore.Handles: Nice, fat handles on the HexClad that don't turn in your hands or get hot. The worst thing about the All-Clad D3's are the handles. I have nearly dumped the contents of both pans when tossing as the handles rotated in my palm. They are the absolute worst. I absolutely LOVE the HexClad handles.Lids: Every HexClad pan came with a nice, glass lid that fits perfectly, and has a steam vent. All-Clad? Because my D3 set didn't come with lids initially, All-Clad doesn't and won't sell them separately. I called All-Clad when I got them and asked if they'd sell me some lids and they basically told me to go pound sand. They were actually rude and dismissive.Heat distribution: As mentioned, the All-Clad D3's didn't evenly distribute the heat to the outsides of the pan surface that weren't directly over flame, nor did they keep the heat when food was added. Even cranking the flame up to high was never enough to get a good sear. Not so with the HexClad. I was sure that the warning to not heat them above medium had something to do with the non-stick surface (and it might), but it's just not necessary to go any higher. The outsides of the pan are just as hot as the middle and they sear so well, keeping their heat even as food is added. They perform almost like carbon steel or cast iron in this regard.Non-stick: Covered this, but it bears repeating that these actually are non-stick when used properly.Appearance: They're gorgeous, aren't they? My friend's set has no discoloration after several months of daily, hard use, and he's never had to use Barkeeper's Friend or any scouring. They are absolutely stunning under the LED cook lights of my hood. Prettier by far than the All-Clad.I've ordered the 2, 3, and 8 QT pot set, which arrives tomorrow, and expect to be equally happy if these pans are any indication. I also have a 10" wok arriving next week for my near daily stir fries. At some point, I may also add a 1 QT pot and 7 QT deep saute.The bottom line is that these pans aren't going to miraculously make you cook better. But they WILL reward good technique with superior results. I was skeptical coming into this that I wouldn't like them nearly as much as what I already had but any hesitation is gone. The hype is real with this tech.

A Year with Hexclad - A Testament to Durability and Performance

C. · 2 June 2023

I've been using the Hexclad Cookware Set for almost a year now, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The set has been put to the test several times a week, and it has stood up to the challenge remarkably well.The standout piece for me has been the wok. It's a joy to use, providing excellent heat distribution and a non-stick surface that makes cooking a breeze. Whether I'm stir-frying vegetables or searing meat, the wok delivers consistently impressive results.As for the pans, they are nothing short of indestructible. Despite regular use and even scouring, they show no discernable scratches. The durability of this cookware set is truly commendable. It's clear that Hexclad has invested in quality materials and manufacturing processes to ensure these pans can withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen.But it's not just about durability. The non-stick capability of these pans is as good, if not better, than the first day I used them. Food slides off easily, making both cooking and cleanup effortless. Plus, their cooking performance remains unmatched. They heat up evenly and retain heat well, ensuring your food is cooked perfectly every time.
