HexCladHybrid Nonstick 13-Inch Griddle Pan, Stay-Cool Handle, Dishwasher-Friendly, Oven-Safe Up to 900°F, Induction Ready, Compatible with All Cooktops

I purchased a HexClad set directly from their website during the COVID-19 pandemic, after having repeatedly replaced cheaper brands like T-Fal every year or two. Those pans would always look terrible after a short time, and I’d end up buying a new set for around $30.However, I can confidently say that the HexClad set I bought in 2020 still looks almost brand new. They heat evenly, hold up well, and clean up beautifully. I’ve found that a little Bar Keeper’s Friend and a green scrubber work wonders on them, bringing back their shine with minimal effort.My only tip is to season them with oil during the first dozen uses. Simply wipe a small amount of olive oil onto the surface with a paper towel after each use, and over time, they’ll develop a naturally non-stick surface. While a few foods still tend to stick (as they do with most cookware), the seasoning helps make the pans much more resilient and easier to cook with.Overall, I’m extremely impressed with the durability and performance of HexClad. It's been a great investment, and I highly recommend it to anyone tired of constantly replacing cookware.

These pans are cool. Expensive, but cool.Nothing sticks to these pans, easy to clean and lifetime warranty. Packaging is even clever and makes unboxing fun.

I am adding pieces of hex clad as I can. This is absolutely the best cook ware that I have ever used. Four years ago, my sweet cousin gifted me with the 12 inch frying pan. I have used it everyday since then and I love it. Nothing sticks, it doesn't scratch and the clean up is a breeze. I use the spray bottle Dawn and all I do is spray it, rinse and dry. No need really to put it in the dishwasher.Yes, it is expensive but, piece by piece I will own it. I bought the whole set of Calphalon and am retiring it. Follow me as I continue to build my Hex Clad set.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Exceeds expectations and always out-performs. My new goto for cookware. A++

I bought the HexClad Hybrid Nonstick Griddle Pan after seeing all the hype, but unfortunately, it hasn’t lived up to expectations. The biggest issue? The so-called "lifetime warranty" feels like nothing more than a marketing gimmick to justify the inflated price.After just light use "warming pita bread" the center of the pan has already developed a slight bubble. If you lay a tortilla on it, you can actually see and feel the uneven surface. For anyone cooking South Asian breads (like roti or paratha), the oil sticks stubbornly, making the pan look permanently stained no matter how much you scrub. Even worse, on an electric stovetop, the pan doesn’t sit flat, causing uneven heating.The nonstick coating is mediocre at best. food still sticks unless you use excessive oil, which defeats the purpose of a "nonstick" pan. For the price, I expected far better performance and durability. Save your money; there are much better (and cheaper) options out there.

Cooks evenly; easy to clean; worth the cost

I LOVE THESAE PANS. I HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL FOR OUR OWN USE AS WELL AS FOR SOME OF OUR KIDS. THEY ARE GOOD QUALITY NAD HEAVY DUTY. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT FIVE STARS BUT GETTING A RETURN FOR A POT THAT WAS DEFECTIVE WAS A NIGHTMARE. YOU DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE FACTORY ON THE RETURN BUT THERE IS MORE LEG WORK IF YOU BUY THEM FROM A RETAIL OULLET AS OPPOSSED TO BUYING THEM ON THE HEXCLAD WEBSITE. THE PART NUMBERS AND PACKAGE OPTIONS ARE ALSO DIFFERENT ON THE RETAIL SIDE
