What It’s Made of
HexClad cookware features a revolutionary, patented design that combines all the benefits of other popular cookware types to maximize performance, durability and ease of use. The pans contain two layers of clad stainless steel with an aluminum core sandwiched between them. This ensures durability plus fast and even heating. The surface is covered in an ultra tough, nonstick and non-toxic Japanese coating, which makes for easy cooking, less oil usage, and convenient cleanup. Layered on top of the non-stick coating is a laser-etched stainless steel lattice comprised of hundreds of tiny hexagons, which increase the strength of the surface, ensure even heat distribution, and protect the non-stick surface without compromising its benefits.
Pricing
The HexClad 12-piece set typically retails for a little less than $1,000, but the brand frequently runs promotions that reduce the price significantly. For example, at the time of this review, the set is on sale for just $699. Keep an eye on the company’s website to take advantage of one of the brand’s many generous discounts.

Impressive!
I researched and searched for new cookware for months before splurging on Hexclad… The heat distribution is even and quick, the nonstick surface is amazing, and the clean up almost too easy. They are heavy in weight, which I love, and just beautiful! Definitely going to add more pieces!

I <3 <3 <3 these frying pans!
These pans were worth every penny!… First thing I cooked in the largest one was Panettone French Toast. My expectation was it was going to stick since there is fruit in the Panettone. No sticking, no scraping, just perfection! Buy them, you won’t regret it.

The best pan you’ll ever buy
These have to be the best pans I have ever purchased. They get hot and stay evenly hot throughout the cook, even on an electric range. Cleaning is a breeze and can be done in just a few minutes, no soaking required. We have had ceramic pans and in the past their non stick and ease of cleaning degrades. After 3 months of daily use these are still as easy as day 1
