Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to traditional non-stick pans like those from T-Fal or Calphalon, the HexClad hybrid offers superior heat retention and metal-utensil-safe durability. It also competes directly with premium options from All-Clad but at a lower price point, though some users find the non-stick performance slightly below pure ceramic sets.

What to know before buying

1. Season the pan with oil before first use to enhance the non-stick properties of the hexagon surface.
2. Use medium-high heat for searing and medium heat for eggs to prevent sticking.
3. It is dishwasher safe, but hand drying immediately prevents water spots on stainless steel.
4. Metal utensils are safe due to the raised hexagon texture—no scratching worries.
5. Do not use cooking spray, as residue can build up in the hexagon grooves over time.
6. Store with a cloth between pans to protect the non-stick coating from scratches.
