In this video, I'll be testing out Hexclad cookware and comparing them to traditional stainless steel and non-stick pans. Can Hexclad really do it all, like searing, braising, and fond? Is Hexclad a gimmick or is it truly a revolutionary hybrid design combining the best of cast iron, stainless steel, and non-stick? I'll also share a concern I have and why it could be a deal breaker.

Wondering why other channels are saying Hexclad sticks? I tested that out too. Check out this video: America's Test Kitchen Says Hexclad is NOT Non-stick ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y6QTb1CGxdE.html

Am suspect of all these good reviews... Hexclad definitely does stick - it degrades pretty quickly. I've been extremely careful (only use recommended silicone spatulas), but the surface area degrades and quickly loses its non-stick coating.

Absolutely great pans. I still use cast iron for corn bread and pinto beans, but after using these in my home for the past 6 months I am so glad I made the purchase. Still trying to get down the technique of flipping my fried eggs because the pans are so slippery. Yes, they fit my 77 year old hands perfectly. Great video, wish I had your technical cooking skills!!

@BCSpecht89 8 месяцев назад

Very nice, well balanced review, Tom. I appreciate that you stress that this is a hybrid type of cookware that combines characteristics of borh nonstick and stainless steel cookware. I have had very similar results with my HexClad cookware. I currently have 4 pieces of it and that will pretty much be all. I don't want an entire set. It is a useful addition to my mainstay cookware, STAUB, LE CREUSET, and some top quality multi-clad stainless steel. My HexClad has lived up to all the hype--great searing, even heat distribution, easy cleanup, and you can use metal utensils if you desire. I would recommend handwashing even though the manufacturer says they can be put into the dishwasher. The environment in a dishwasher is very harsh and will strip away the seasoning that the manufacturer recommends you do when you get your new pan. I hand-wash all of my cookware. When you pay so much for top quality cookware, it deserves a little pampering. As for the infamous America's Test Kitchen fried egg test of the HexClad skillet--puh-leeze! Even dedicated nonstick skillets will fail a fried egg test like this with no oil or butter after they've been used for some time. Emphasis on hybrid cookware, America's Test Kitchen people.

Look at the Ninja Foodi Neverstick Premium. They cost a little less than Hexclad, are more durable, and far better nonstick. The findings on stickiness in this review run counter to pretty much every other review I've seen on Hexclad. America's Test Kitchen has a video showing just how bad they are. *HINT* if you need oil to cook an egg, it's not non-stick enough.

Got my own Hexclad frying pan. Been using it for well over 2 years and its OOB performance has not changed. It's my favorite pan to cook everything including pancakes, eggs, fish, and even steaks. Even my folks who are far from masters when it comes to temperature control have little to no problems cooking on it. I can only imagine that many of the negative reviews out there either stem from fake/knockoff Hexclad pans or their cooking ability is just that awful they cannot fry an egg without a teflon or carbon steel pan.

Similar to Kirby vacuums where my children will be able to use my cookware. I was hoping hexclad was like that, but it seems to not be.

Great review, Tom! I don't own any Hexcclad pans, only stainless and carbon steel. I have the same concerns you do about longevity. All coated pans will eventually wear out and will need to be replaced. I have a stainless steel pan I inherited from my mother, who got it for her a wedding gift. Still works great. You won't be able to do that with coated pans. Still, Hexclad looks like quality pans.

I just bought two pans trying them out. ❤ I have found that they work just like they say they will. They’re easy cleanup once in a while I might throw it in the dishwasher which is a plus for me due to the fact that I am a truck driver and I don’t have time to stand at the kitchen sink and do a lot because I’m prepping food to put in the truck to leave out for two weeks, but yes, I would love to be entered in to try to find out if I could win a set where I could take a few pieces with me over the road. The very first time that Caraway dishes and pans came out. I bought the set and wasn’t really paying attention and I did not hear anybody say you couldn’t put them in the dishwasher so I ran a set and of course I got burned by them after I bought an extra pan to replace one they would not cover the coating and it came off within two weeks so I’ve been very very reluctant to buy new pans, but I have started doing these and I am totally in love with them so far. ❤

I just bought the wok a few weeks ago and I did the egg test after seasoning it and it does stick a bit but after a little help to loosen it up. It did slide around. The heat is pretty good and cooks thing fast but the only down side I can see is that you won't be able to get that wok hai that you would get from traditional woks since you are not suppose to use it with super high heat.

The PFAS coating will be in the environment for ever, they do not break down. If everyone would constantly get new pans because of a good warranty, when their pans are peeling we are in the end producing so much forever-waste. If the costs to deal with these PFAS chemicals would be factored in the price, it would move consumers to stop using (traditional non-stick) pans as disposable products. We learn how to drive a car, why don't we learn to use real pans?

At the end of the day they are a "NON-STICK PAN". While I own a couple I really only use the for eggs and stuff. And treat them as wear item that I need to throw away. I am much happier and confident with stainless steel, carbon steel, cast-iron, etc. Delamination is virtually eliminated with my preference and if it does delaminate it wont into my food like non-stick. My preference is to throw non-stick pans away every year and get new ones.

@tomwadek Год назад

Thanks for sharing, keep in mind, throwing nonstick pans every year really pollutes the environment. If a hexclad nonstick can last for 10+ years, it may be a better alternative for those who prefer nonstick. Thanks for watching.

@michaelmiller1109 Год назад

@@tomwadek I agree! But the visual indicators that it is delaminating bothers me. I need more science to understand. When my non stick is visibly scratched or eggs start sticking I know it is done. But your video showed those micro polygons delaminating. Delimitation is the Achilles heel of non-stick. Damn thermodynamic science. Remember I use non-stick but also why is non-stick so bad? Well they use forever chemicals, in other words they never break down, well in any time frame we know. And they are everywhere. Cool technology too much capitalism without a check. Your argument of less waste has some merit but I need to know when hexclad is done? I doubt any non-stick manufacturer would own up to that.

Granted, the stainless was a bit of a learning curve, and I still work on temperature control. but I have no complaints about my choice.

At 1:26 when he talks about the handles being the best. I disagree. My daughter and I used the 5.5-qt saute pan (it's 3" deep and 12" across; this size pan is our go-to for cooking hamburger and adding ingredients like you would with hamburger helper or any other meal where you add liquid and vegetables). We quickly discovered that the rounded and curved handle makes it nearly impossible to control the pan with one hand when tipping the pan, such as to pour hamburger into a colander to drain the grease off. My 19-yo daughter had so much difficulty due to this handle, that I heard her exclaim "ow!" and similar comments three times before I ran to the kitchen to see what she was hurting so much. I'm considering returning our entire purchase of Hexclad. Too bad, this was to be a major Christmas present meant to last her years.

I own and rent a couple of vacation rentals, so I have a few nonstick pans available because some guests prefer using them. I end up replacing them after a couple of years because nonstick simply does not last, apparently including Hexclad. I might consider these next time I have to replace the nonstick. For myself, I have a full set of AllClad copper core and some good enameled cast iron that will last me a lifetime. It isn’t hard to learn to use stainless properly, and I’m really not being a cookware snob. Quality of product plus a bit of technique is all you need.

I am more confused by the coating. What is it made of? will you notice it when cooking? Risk of consuming it or will you just notice a crunchy bit. Is it a normal stainless steel pan after the coating peels off? or do you just toss it?

@tomwadek Год назад

It’s the same coating used on other nonstick pans. If it comes off, you will notice it. Don’t eat it. I’m my opinion, if it strips off, time for a new pan with any nonstick coating.

@yourworstfan Год назад

I don't think you could ever consider this a normal stainless pan. When the coating comes off, it's not going to come off clean all at once unless you sandblast it off or something. At that point, I think it would be worse than a normal stainless pan, because it doesn't have a smooth surface.

After a few years, the PFAS non-stick coating between the stainless steel structure becomes detached. Experience has also shown this. Over time, these particles get into the food! You should be particularly careful with spicy things! I have also fried with iron pans and cast iron pans. These are definitely better than this PFAS crap! What I have noticed, however, is that particles of the patina have come off the cast iron pans in particular and can be recognized by small black dots in the food. Especially when I made bolognese and sweet and sour sauces. Acidic foods should not be prepared in these pans! In the end, I also gave away the iron pans and cast iron pans and bought stainless steel pans. These are great! Nothing sticks to the food and, if handled correctly, nothing sticks either. Pour a little oil (e.g. sunflower oil) into the pan and wait on a medium heat until the oil flows loosely and easily in the pan (like water). The oil may also smoke a little, then remove the pan directly from the heat. The stainless steel pan now has a very good non-stick effect. You can even fry eggs straight from the fridge in a cold pan. I also made a little movie about this on youtube. For me, there are no better pans than stainless steel pans. You can get a good 3-layer stainless steel pan (stainless steel-aluminum-stainless steel layer) from amazon for around 40 dollars. These pans also last a lifetime!

@bluesplit2887 5 месяцев назад

The main question should not be whether hexclad cookware is nonstick right out of the box. The question should be is how good are they 3 or 4 years down the road, 10 years down the road, because they market themselves as having a lifetime warranty. They cost many times as much as well reviewed regular nonstick cookware, so you could buy several cabinets of regular nonstick cookware for the same price and just replace pieces that wear out. What the warranty actually says is : "HexClad’s products are created to last a lifetime. All HexClad products are covered for manufacturer’s defects. Our warranty does not cover damage occurred as a result of failure to follow proper care and use guidelines as outlined in the product inserts and on our website." The warranty is for "manufacturer's defects". Some reviews of old hexclad cookware reveal that the nonstick quality goes down a little to a lot

Dishwashers create such a harsh, hostile environment that they can easily strip away the initial seasoning the HexClad manufacturer recommends you do with their cookware. No wonder food is sticking. I would not put even my stainless steel cookware in my dishwasher! It sounds as though her pans should be reseasoned and hand washed in the future.

@JPRacing715 7 месяцев назад

The key is to allow the pan to heat up before cooking the food, if you turn the pan on and put the egg in it will stick every time. Also with Hexclad you never go above medium unless you are bringing to a boil. I was like your daughter, got the pan turned it on med high and threw the eggs in, they stuck and it was a mess. After learning how to allow the pan to heat up never had an issue again.

Fantastic review. Warranty seems 50/50. High price tag is slightly holding me back. Thanks

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it

@ronaldstoudt1379 5 месяцев назад

You missed a very important downside in using this cookware. The bottoms of the pans are convex. When using on induction cooktops or electric flat cooktops the pan moves (shimmies) off of the burner. HexClad will tell you the pan will flatten out with use. Not true. I complained. To their credit they replaced my pan. The new pan has the same issues. While I believe these are well made pans, I would never purchase again given the very high price. I consider myself a very good cook & I’ll just continue using my stainless & non-stick pans accordingly.

@denniskirschbaum9109 Год назад

America's Test Kitchen got very different results on the stick test from you. They really "panned" Hexclad. What do you think accounts for the difference between your results and theirs?

@tomwadek Год назад

Don’t know, I didn’t have any issues at all. We’re they using gas? Maybe the outcome is different on induction

@lexotansteele2755 10 месяцев назад

I would only spend that kind of money for a pan that will last a lifetime, like a premium quality stainless steel one. Anyway, the stickiness of Hexclad seemed a lot worse in other professional video reviews I've watched on RU-vid (like on Chris Young's or America's Test Kitchen channels). How is that?

@tomwadek 10 месяцев назад

I agree, at that premium price tag, it should last forever. I covered the stickiness in this video: America's Test Kitchen Says Hexclad is NOT Non-stick ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y6QTb1CGxdE.html

The Teflon and the Wok seem like a poor match, but then again, the breakdown point of Teflon is a bit higher than people give it credit for... so I guess we will see.

@brianh2287 6 месяцев назад

I never bought these pans, because I have an iron skillet, stainless steel, non stick, and carbon steel cookware already. However, several of my neighbors did buy the hexclad set. The problem is that the coating came off on their most used pans before the two year mark. The coating is going to come off, no non stick coated pan is going to last forever with the materials used today. This is why I won't be buying them and for my one non stick pan, I will just purchase a new one for 30$ every few years. All of my other cookware will last a lifetime.

@vman1281 Год назад

@vvangeus Год назад

Still very expensive (compared to cast iron for example) and must eventually be replaced. I don't know if Hexclad has included its lifetime warranty in their business case. What if Hexclad goes bankrupt due to success? That is precisely the risk for a young company with a product of such high quality. That means that quality management must be set up and maintained at a very high and expensive level (including the number of replacements per year for the complaining consumer). That may explain the purchase price. But....Hexclad has not been on the market for too long to have confidence in the organisation (and a longtime durability of the pan, compared to overall non-stick teflon pans). As soon as restaurants start begging for Hexclad pans, instead of steel or cast iron pans....then I'm in!

@tomwadek Год назад

All good valid points. Thanks for sharing.

@theo9976 8 месяцев назад

Here’s my problem with non-stick cookware. The PTFE coating will eventually wear off. A good cast iron or stainless pan will last forever. Better to buy a Tramontina non-stick pan for $30 and use for 5 years and buy a new one when it wears out.

@Reddepex Год назад

PTFE, it seems to be in the Hexclad pans. What is your thought on the effects on the environment of this chemical? Has it been in your thoughts when recommending these pans? The main reason for me to switch to stainless steel pans, was the lack of PFAS, like PTFE. Not only because of direct health risks, but also because of the impact on the environment after the pans are disposed of. It seems that these chemicals are not degradable.

@tomwadek Год назад

Yes, I touched up on it a bit during my issues with the warrenty. Basically, if the hex design and bonding method does increase the life of the pans to 10-15 yrs plus and the warranty honors the coating, I think these pans are fantastic and a good "happy" middle ground for most people. I would like to see potentially a return/recycle program by the company to decrese impacts to the enviornment wherever possible.

@Reddepex Год назад

@@tomwadek The life span of the PFAS seems to be as long as the earth exists. So the PFAS will end up in every life form from the moment it gets created. It will enter the food chain and will impact every life form like fish, land animals and humans. At least that is my understanding. If your understanding is the same, is it worth your recommendation? If your understanding is different, what is your understanding?

@tomwadek Год назад

@@Reddepex I agree with you and the epa maps this out clearly www.epa.gov/pfas/pfas-explained but it also seems like there’s more studying to be done to understand how to properly dispose or destroy it. I’m generally in favor of the big 3 ci, cs, and ss. I understand the need for nonstick and this is a good alternative if it does last considerably longer than most nonstick rather than throwing out a pan every 2 years. I think what’s more important is that folks take the time to learn the fundamentals so they can use any cookware/tool in the kitchen.

If the warranty covers the coating then I personally wouldn’t have any major concerns and the price would reflect the warranty. They are very well made pans but as I said in the video, all nonstick coating eventually fail

I was in a thrift store a few months ago and saw a Hexclad pan. I thought "score!", until I picked it up and saw how the coating had peeled away. How long did it take to get in that condition, I don't know. But eventually it does fail.

@jrmint2 Год назад

but can the hex clad stir fry noodles and rice with very little oil? that's where a true non stick pan shines! otherwise a carbon steel wok reigns supreme. Can you fry cornstarch coated cubes tofu without sticking? Non stick was suppose to be a healthier cooking pan.

As I pointed out in the video, there is still a place for a traditional nonstick pan.

Everyone is trying out the egg / frypan test. But owning these pans, they are nothing but a headache. The pots are the worse. Preparing rice or even pasta, and everything sticks to the bottom of these things. Really, just making pasta and the bottom of the pan is a stuck glued on mess. Rice is the same way.

The fact that I have pans that are older than you well unless you are somehow over 100 means I will stick to my cast iron and armor I mean thick steel pans. Bought a cheap set of non stick and when it wears out they will become plates and bowls and a new cheap set will be bought.

Nice review but u don’t have any skin ($) in the game to properly form an unbiased opinion. Even you couldn’t answer your own question, “So do I recommend Hexclad.” Suggest you make it about this: is Hexclad recommended at $699, $799 or $899 or whatever they want for it. In the same vein u reviewed the Tramontina at the value added price point.

@tomwadek Год назад

@@Luke.Cooking well no, my issue is long term use. I can’t answer that question now until I use it for at least 6month to a year. If the coating fails every few years then might as well just buy a nonstick pan for $30-40. That’s where I’m coming from right now. I do have skin in the game, always my reputation and word.

I'm not fond of fond. I'm good without it. I hate stainless steel...I hate stainless steel...I HATE stainless steel. It's a HORRIBLE cooking surface. I don't have all day to figure out whether the temp is just right. I'm cooking to eat and go. I'm in a hurry. So sticking is the norma and it peeves me to no end. I hate non-stick because no matter how hard you try, you end up damaging it because you can't find the teflon spatula, or something sticks to it and it scuffs while cleaning it. Then it sticks more and more over time.
