Hexclad Pans: Induction-Ready Cookware?

Hexclad pans are a unique hybrid of stainless steel and non-stick pans. They are designed to be durable, with a non-stick coating that is protected by a raised hexagonal pattern, allowing you to use metal utensils without damaging the non-stick surface. They are also oven-safe, dishwasher-safe, and compatible with induction cooktops. However, they are more expensive than traditional non-stick pans and may not perform as well when cooking delicate foods like eggs.

Hexclad pans are compatible with induction cooktops

The Hexclad Hybrid Nonstick 10-Inch Fry Pan, for example, is induction-ready and compatible with all cooktops. It features a tri-ply construction, combining high-quality aluminum with two layers of stainless steel. This construction allows for even heat distribution and enhances the pan's performance.

The Hexclad cookware range offers a unique hybrid design, combining the benefits of stainless steel, cast iron, and non-stick surfaces. The patented design features a hexagonal pattern etched onto the bottom of the pan, with raised steel hexagons protecting the non-stick coating beneath. This design not only enhances the pan's durability but also improves its non-stick properties.

The Hexclad pans are a premium option for those seeking a versatile and long-lasting cookware solution. They can withstand metal utensils without damaging the non-stick surface and deliver even heat distribution. Additionally, the ergonomic handles ensure a comfortable grip, and the pans are oven-safe up to 500°F.

They are dishwasher-safe

Hexclad pans are dishwasher-safe, but it is recommended that you hand wash them to extend their lifespan. The high temperatures, steam, and harsh detergents inside the dishwasher can shorten their life. The scratch-resistant surface is safe for use with abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and steel wool. However, all you’ll need to clean up most messes is a soapy sponge and running water.

The lids of Hexclad pans are also oven-safe, but only up to 400°F.

The pans are metal-utensil safe

HexClad pans are metal-utensil safe. The pans' unique design features raised stainless steel peaks and non-stick valleys. The idea behind this design is that the steel peaks don't allow spatulas, tongs, and forks to touch the non-stick coating. Therefore, you can use metal utensils, and the non-stick coating will stay intact for longer.

The steel hexagons allow the heat to diffuse across the pan evenly, while the PFOA-free non-stick coating prevents foods from sticking. HexClad's hybrid design solves the problem of scratching the coating with metal utensils, which can shorten the lifespan of most non-stick cookware to 2-5 years.

HexClad's durability not only increases its overall value but also makes it more convenient. For example, you can bake a quesadilla in the frying pan and use a metal pizza cutter to cut it into slices without damaging the pan.

HexClad's innovative design allows you to use metal utensils without scratching the non-stick coating. This makes it convenient and versatile, and you can expect it to last longer than traditional non-stick pans.

They are easy to clean

HexClad pans are easy to clean. The non-stick coating prevents food from sticking to the pan, making cleaning a breeze. While hand-washing is highly recommended, HexClad pans are also dishwasher-safe and can be cleaned with steel wool pads. The scratch-resistant surface can even withstand abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and steel wool. For most messes, all you need is a soapy sponge and running water.
