“Proven viral pick; the laser-etched hex geometry is the actual reason it sears like stainless but releases like nonstick, and the 900F oven rating is unmatched in the category.”

HexClad is the laser-etched hexagonal pattern of stainless steel ridges over a tri-ply nonstick base. The geometry gives you two things at once: the sear and fond of stainless steel inside the hex peaks, and the easy-release of nonstick inside the hex valleys. Oven safe to 900F, induction compatible, metal utensil safe, and the steel rim means the pan can deglaze with wine without ruining the coating. 12-inch surface fits two ribeyes or a full omelet. Best fit: cooks who want one pan that handle
Pros
- Hex pattern lets you sear, deglaze, and wipe clean from one pan, no second skillet swap mid-cook
- Oven safe to 900F and induction compatible, the same pan goes onto a grill or under the broiler
- Metal utensils and dishwashers will not chip the stainless ridges, which kills coating failure within a year
Cons
- Heavier than a comparable nonstick, about 3.5 pounds; not ideal for a single-handed flip toss

Frequently asked questions
Do you need to season HexClad before first use?
Yes. A 2-minute oil polish on medium heat with a paper towel rub-down before first use locks the nonstick performance for the first hundred cooks. Re-season every 6 months.
Is the nonstick PFOA free?
Yes. HexClad uses a Japanese-made PTFE coating that is PFOA, PFOS, and lead free per the manufacturer.
Will the hex pattern scratch my glass cooktop?
The bottom is fully clad stainless steel, smooth and flat. Safe for glass, induction, gas, and electric ranges.
Can I use cooking spray?
HexClad specifically warns against aerosol cooking sprays. The propellant residue builds up in the hex valleys and degrades the nonstick. Use a spoonful of butter or oil instead.
