HexClad Cookware Review: The Truth About Gordon Ramsay’s Favorite Pans

Right now hexclad is offered at costco for like 80% off

I must admit that I was NOT using it correctly: I didn't use enough oil and that resulted in bad results. Then a light went on in my head and I started using avocado oil and wasn't stingy. Then everything worked out beautifully. And avocado oil is really beneficial.

Bottom line? I have two and would get another. Oh, and I use my original pan daily now.

I like glass pans .

I bought one one these pans to replace my old British made pan which had lasted me 23 years The HexClad is shoddy cheap Chinese crap mine lasted 8 months and then the handle dropped off Iand I was refused a replacement /money back so have gone back to my old manufacturer which is made in Shefield

Are they ptfe free?

If you were dumb enough to order these pans …. You deserved to get scammed.

Fun fact. Gordon doesn't even use that pan. He was paid heavily to endorse it.

nonstick but need oil, I've saved some coin

Andrew, I have 3 hexclad pans and all three continue to be concave after 2 years (as per your "Warning") none are flattened. Here is what Hexclad said:

"In an effort to increase rigidity, each one of our products is designed with a slightly raised center. As you will see below in our “Cookware Convexity” table, each one of our cookware has a different level/ degree of convexity based on its size. This design is intentional and is the result of years of perfecting our product to avoid warping, something that you might see in other cookware that you may have purchased in the past.

Since this is not a defect, HexClad will unfortunately be unable to replace pans that exhibit a raised center right out of the box. We do apologize for any inconvenience."

So either your review is misleading *which I doubt", or Hexclad is misleading you. Thought you might lije to know. I wonder if any other customers have encountered this. Thanks, I do appreciate your reviews.

Can I put a hot hexclad pan under water to wash?

Hexa-what?

review appears legit.

I love these pans. Exactly what I’ve been looking for to replace toxic nonstick pans.

Basically a pan that has all the other pans strength and weakness, also its price is the combination of all them.

Who taught this guy how to say “hexagonal” 😂😂😂

I just buy old griswold cast iron pans from flea markets, they work great, arent super heavy like new CI pans are and they hold their value. They are also not toxic like that non stick coating is if it gets over heated.

it has non stick coating so sooner or later coating will go away only difference is not sooner than non stick pan ..so they long lasting coating but not immortal because on high heat it will start loosing coating.... appreciate your reply

I just replaced all of my all clad cookware with hex clad. It is by far the best cookware I’ve ever owned. I kept all the cast iron I inherited and kept all of my Le Creuset. If you have an induction stove top nothing cooks as good as hex clad.

can you put them in the oven to finish off meats?

Made in China....NOOOOOO THANK YOU. all i neeed to know.

I always end up using cast iron. I love the features other sets have but I seem to just go to the basics of cast iron time and time again. I might try hex clad one day.

Your not supposed to have the heat on high with these pans or it will stick. Its different then other pans

Did you season them properly after you bought them like it says to?

What coating do they use ? Is it Teflon like in nonstick pans ?

It's pronounced hex-AG-on-ahl not HEXA-go-nal. Gordon Ramsay should yell at you.

handle is an issue? come one just make it longer and not round

Just another gimmick! Searing requires use of high temperatures. This cookware is recommended for Medium temps, like most cookware. Teflon, which is usually what the nonstick material is made from, melts around 500 F, but I'm sure the pan will warp long before then. Stick to cast iron. With cast iron, I can sear a steak on high, then throw it in the oven under 450F to finish. I don't think these pans would survive in my kitchen. lol.

If the manufacturer is sending you their products to review (even if they are not paying you), and you promote affiliate links to purchase the items wherein you earn a commission, then it seems to me you are not totally unbiased. I question the recommendation to buy if that decision is helping you in some way because then its not unbiased as you have a business interest to promote the product. If you purchased these pans yourself and did not promote affiliate links, then I think you could make the claim of being unbiased. If you said you were giving a fair and honest review based on your experience and therefore were also promoting the product via affiliate links, I think that is a more credible statement. But let's be honest, your review is not unbiased.

8” is not relatively short 🙄

The very best cookware we’ve ever owned. And that includes AllClad, Calphalon, etc. Just never cook at over Low/Medium heat.

I like how you completely passed over the fact that HexClad's made with PTFE coating, and didn't talk about the giant scratch/crack in the Hexclad pan you were showing. All PTFE and PFOA coated pans shed the non-stick coating over time with use, and especially when/if overheated. I can't see how having hexagonal shaped nubs changes that fact.

This guy bitching but I see nothing wrong most so called nonstick pans start sticking after one or 2 uses. So what you have to use spray or grease.

Stainless steel or cast iron will do better job if you need using oils or butter. I toss mine in the garbage.

I wish you would've said whether or not it works on induction cooktops. I see a lot of nice cookware that does not.

I am happy with my non-stick pans. They're cheap and maintain extreme nonstick for about a year or more. Then I toss them and get another. I also like cooking on well seasoned, vintage cast iron.

i bought one...its no better than any other non stick pan...buy the cheaper ones and youll be fine

"hexagonal" 😂

Mine are crap. I'm sure I've eaten my share of that coating, which is coming off of nearly half of the set.

Gordan Ramsay's favorite pans are steel and copper.... he does not prefer "non-stick" pans except for in his home cook videos because he knows that the average person uses them.

Made in china for that price$$$$$$$ nooooo way rip off😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

A quality non stick dedicated for eggs, and HexClad for everything else. It's not rocket science. If you need all matching cookware, see a shrink.

Well mine never flattened out, and actually warped more with using the induction burner, I sent them a picture and they admitted they were warped and said it was from rapid high heat, since I do not cook on high heat ever, especially when using nonstick pans, then it clicked on me that they did not warp until I started using them on my tabletop induction burner which rapidly heats up, and HexClad told me that this type of warping IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. so I have two warped pans now

I wouldn't buy this product. Cheaply made in China.

One can't beat a cast iron fry pan. And they last more than a lifetime.

Great review, thank you.

Hi Andrew: Loved this video. Do you know if they ship to Toronto, Ontario Canada? Thx

Had to laugh when it was explained that eggs won't stick...as long as you have enough butter or oil in the pan. Isn't this true of every pan on the market?

Gave up on all non-stick frying pans and baking sheets which are coated. These days I use stainless steel pans and aluminium baking trays. After 7 years yes they're scratched but perfectly fine to use and they are 100% clean, not a bit of burnt food or peeling PTFE on them. Just soak them and everything comes off. It's only when I burn food that I might use a brillo pad but I'd rather use a brillo pad on stainless steel than PTFE coated as it'll get damaged easily. My pans can take the toughest beatings and will last decades. Far safer to eat off, no cancer for me :)
