Product Information

Polished Handles: The steel handles have a polished finish, so smudges and fingerprints are difficult to hide. You’ll need to buff the handle regularly to keep it looking new. Since this review is for the HexClad cookware, I will not get into the pros and cons of each type of cookware, but will compare the HexClad cookware to some of them and let you know why I prefer this cookware over some of the others.

This is all of the differences I can think of for now. If I think of more, I will add them. For now, I am impressed with the HexClad cookware, but I will not likely eliminate much of the cookware I already have. As mentioned previously, each has their own benefits. I may eventually decide to eliminate some of the heavier cookware as it is more difficult to use. I may also eliminate cookware that requires more maintenance. The foundation pieces every chef needs to sizzle, sear, and sauté. Having guests over for a festive gathering? Sauté seasonal veggies, sear your favourite protein, and simmer a savoury sauce. Get ready for culinary accolades. Your guests will never guess your secret weapon is HexClad. Includes a sizzling array of sizes: Cast iron, and enameled cast iron is very heavy and must be seasoned after every use to maintain it. This cookware does not required seasoning after it is done initially. Carbon steel is not as heavy, but must also be seasoned after every use. It’s also a great option if you have limited space in your kitchen and are looking to consolidate your cookware. With HexClad, you don’t need separate pans for each task.

He claims to use HexClad pans in his home and says, “their hybrid technology cooks to absolute, utter perfection.”As for weight, the cast iron and enameled cast iron (Staub and Le Creuset) are the heaviest, carbon steel comes in second, and HexClad and Ninja are about the same.

Stainless steel cookware needs to be cleaned very time with Bar Keeper's Friend to keep it clean and shiny. The HexClad cookware does have stainless steel on the exterior, but is easier to keep looking shiny since cooking is not done on it. Wash and dry works.Discoloration: Like regular stainless steel cookware, the steel portion of HexClad gets stained and requires significant scrubbing. Burnt oil and tiny food particles are the biggest culprits. If that happens, follow these methods to restore your pan. Unlike HexClad, Anolon’s steel mesh is only on the flat part of the cooking surface; it does not extend throughout. So there’s no protection from scratching if you accidentally scrape the walls. Anolon X pans are made with a hard-anodized aluminum base; HexClad’s base is 3-ply stainless steel.
