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

Let me begin by expressing my profound enthusiasm for this exceptional cooking pan. My kitchen boasts a rather extensive collection of cookware, accumulated over many years, yet this particular pot transcends all others in both performance and sheer elegance.It's not simply a matter of superior functionality—though that is undeniably a key attribute. The versatility of this pan is astonishing, effortlessly adapting to a multitude of cooking techniques, from delicate searing to robust stewing. Furthermore, its durability is nothing short of remarkable. I've subjected this pan to rigorous testing, preparing everything from complex sauces to hearty one-pot meals, and it continues to perform flawlessly, showing absolutely no signs of wear due to its scratch resistance. My initial expectations were high, but this pan has significantly exceeded them.Cleaning is, quite frankly, a dream. Unlike my previous cookware, which often required laborious scrubbing and soaking, this pan gleams with minimal effort. The non-stick surface is truly extraordinary; sautéing delicate vegetables becomes a joyous experience rather than a frustrating chore. Even the most stubborn residues effortlessly yield to a simple wipe. This ease of cleaning is a game-changer for my busy lifestyle.Beyond its practical attributes, the pan design is a masterpiece of ergonomic ingenuity. It feels perfectly balanced and comfortable in my hand, even when filled to its generous capacity. This meticulous attention to detail elevates the cooking process from a mere task to an almost sensual experience. Even the most challenging recipes become a pleasure to prepare, imbued with a sense of effortless grace. I am in love with this brand. Can’t wait to purchase the whole collection.

Best frypan that I have ever used. Was hearing and seeing so much about these hybrid cookware that I decided to give it a try. Pan performs as advertised - food doesnt stick and cleanup is a breeze. Looks good too. Followed the prep instructions, and have not used high heat since the pan heats up quite well and maintains its heat during cooking. And I'm cooking on an electric glass cooktop. Now thinking about getting the 8 inch pan. Great purchase.

I've owned a lot of cookware. Everything from low end Faberware stuff to higher end copper bottomed stainless, and obviously cast iron. Until now cast iron has been my favorite, but it's a bit of a pain to maintain and super heavy. The Hexclad out performs anything I've ever owned and 0 maintenance. Once I received my pan I put it through it's paces. Eggs? Slid in pan like they were ice skating. Cheese? Seemed like it was going to sick at first, but released easily with no sticking. I tried a marinated steak next because I wanted to sear and finish in oven to test oven performance. The marinade had high sugar content so I was prepared for some scorching and burned on residue. It cooked evenly and beautifully. There was a bit of burn on left but most wiped easily with a paper towel the rest came right off with a couple of minute soak. I've barely used my cast iron since getting this. I can't say enough. I'm hoping to try some of their other products, especially knives very soon. These are pricey, but so worth it for versatility and no maintenance.

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!? SMHHappy 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!
