HexClad Hybrid Nonstick 7-Piece Pan Set, 8, 10, and 12-Inch Frying Pans with Tempered Glass Lids and 10-Inch Wok, Stay-Cool Handles, Dishwasher-Friendly, Induction-Ready, Compatible with All Cooktops

So far I'm in love. I have gone through all the most expensive nonstick cookware and nothing has lasted. Le Cruset, Stabb. One just doesn't feel non stick the Stabb and the Lecruset started to get brown and nasty and rusty over time even though they say lifetime. I only use silicone utensils and still issues. Now these Hexclad. Got them seasoned them briefly and started cooking and I love they way they cook. Less heat needed, you can tell it really does let you use any utensils metal even, and its non stick is great and clean up is so easy. I'm keeping my durability at 4 stars until I see how they hold up. The pans are very nice looking as well. Browning and searing is great too. Cant wait to try with our new induction stove top when we get it in. Hopefully they will have pots to match soon. Hoping these pans are around for a long time. Also Hexclad please come out with a high sided saute pan. The wok is great but need a flat bottom pan with high sides.8/4/19Update:These pans are holding up very nicely. If you start to get any discoloration on the inside or bottoms just use a little bar keepers friend and they are like new again. Really happy with the cook with these pans. Give you a great seat without burning and with a nice non stick feel. So far I’m in love with these pans and can’t wait for sauce pans to match!

I wanted to write this review because there is not enough reviews and comments about induction cookware that I had already bought a set of pots and pans for our new inductions range only to come to find out that not all induction ready pots and pans are equal. I got the Foodi Ninja Premium Non-Stick 13 Piece Set and don't get me wrong they seem to be wonderfully pots/pans if you have a electric or gas range but induction not good at all. The HexClad after properly seasoning them are awesome on induction. I did the boil test with three cups of water in the HexClad 8" pan and the Foodi Ninja 8" Pan - the Hexclad was at a full roiling boil in 2 minutes flat the Foodi Ninja Pan took over 4 minutes in the same test and wouldn't active the 11" hob/burner where as the HexClad 8" pan worked on the 11" hob/burner which means it will work on any of the four hobs on the stovetop. Induction should heat fast and sear quickly which I wasn't getting from my other set. This is what makes induction more energy efficient as you don't need to wait for heat and the heat control is amazing also but I digress. As for the pans they are get they work as designed, heat fast and even and are non-stick if you properly season them as directed.

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.

Pros: All and all these are the best pans I have ever owned. You need to season the pans just as you would a cast iron skillet and you should never have a problem with them.Con: The smallest of the pans for some reason causes fried or scrambled egg's to stick. all the larger sizes seem to work well. I tried searching Amazon and the manufacture for a way to purchase the 8 qt. pot and for some reason it seams you have to purchase the 4 pot set with lids.

these pans are wonderful. they do take a little extra care compared to traditional non-stick but less effort than with stainless steel pans. i loved my stainless steel pans but my hubby could never cook with them without everything sticking. He didn't have the patience to season the pans correctly. these are what they say they are... a hybrid. you do need to use a slight bit of oil/butter but they clean up like a dream. If you get crusties, as I like to call them, it's just a matter of a few minute soak and everything releases. I never have to scrub like I did with my stainless steel. I never wanted to spend this much on a pan set. My husband did the research and convinced me the expense was worth it. So far, I have to agree. We've had them for three months and I love them. In a year, when most expensive non-stick pans start to wear out, I will update this review.

They are beautiful, heavy duty pans but they do not have a non-stick surface. I cook eggs everyday and it does not matter how much oil I use in the pan, the egg will stick to the surface. It makes a runny yolk difficult to get. That said, it cleans up easily with the stuck part of the egg wiped away without issue. I think the problem lies in the hexagonal nature of the pan surface, too many places for food to stick while cooking. Also, pay attention to their warning about cooking at lower than usual temperatures. These pans heat up quickly and evenly, which is great, but if you normally cook at medium heat, dial it down a notch or two. I love the pans, even with the quirks. Buy them but know the flaws.
