Hybrid Nonstick 8-Inch Frying Pan with Tempered Glass Lid, Stay-Cool Handle, Dishwasher-Friendly, Oven-Safe Up to 900°F, Induction Ready, Compatible with All Cooktops

The HexClad Hybrid 12-inch frying pan has been working great. The key is to follow the instructions provided by HexClad. I seasoned the pan first like it recommended. I then fried two eggs following the suggestion medium low heat and the eggs cooked quickly without sticky. The heat/speed of those eggs was like cooking on high heat on other pans, but you end up fighting with them sticking. We also cooked up some steaks and followed the recommended medium high heat and the pan produced a great sear on them. We have used medal utensils while cooking and have not seen any scratches on the surface of the pan, so it is holding up very well. The pan washes very easily without any struggles. It is a amazing how you can cook on lower temperatures and the heat is distributed very well across the entire pan. We recommend the HexClad pan for your next frying pan purchase. Follow the instructions provided and you will be extremely happy with the results like we are.

I really thought i messed up. All that money for this pan, and eggs stuck! Well it was only the first day. I seasoned it with some canola oil, heated it up and tried it out. I hate flipping eggs on a good day, and this was NOT a good day. Stuck to the bottom, even with small amount of oil. But i really needed a pan, and, like it or not, it was going to get used hard, every day for breakfast, and sometimes dinner, too! Bacon, sausage, fried potatoes, hamburger, steak, and the eggs. I give up, i just help them with a spatula and steam with a little water. Did that even with a nonstick pan. So i guess i couldnt complain. So, as it turned out, all that greasy food has done a good job seasoning the pan, and i can still use the plastic spatulas and not scratch the surface. When im done, deglazing the pan, and wiping it down cleans it up well. Dont use soap, or youre back to square one. I have a few little grease stains on that nice stainless edge, cosmetic, from pouring out excess oil before cooking. Scrambled eggs pull easily off the pan, nothing gets really stuck, like the first day. It pays to use the pan all the time, and this 12in pan just might last longer than the nonstick ones ive gone through every year, and that would be worth the $200. One thing, like if youve cooked up some meat, like bacon, etc. and you plan on putting eggs next in that pan, deglaze the pan with small amount of water to bubble off all that sticky stuff. Then pour in the eggs and they wont stick at all! Daily use for 2 weeks, and it seems like its broken in. I havent tried an omlette in it yet. I may just chicken out and get another nonstick for omlettes. Next im gonna try the titanium pan, see how that works! Meanwhile we will see how long the hexclad lasts. I thoroughly expect this pan to last me years, which is more than i can get out of the average nonstick! I go through one of those a year. And at $50 a pop, its getting old. If this pan, "pans out", i may get the hexclad wok, next! Update, the more i use it, the more nonstick it gets! This pan is a real workhorse!

I had read so many reviews before deciding to purchase, and I came to one conclusion from so many people writing bad reviews — you all don’t know how to cook! I have cooked fish, seared a steak, cooked scrambled eggs with cheese, poached an egg, fried bacon, made a bourbon reduction sauce with molasses and the consistent result from all these — everything was cooked to perfection and literally slid right out of the pan. I wanted to try these particular pans because for so long I’ve used Lodge cast iron pans. Don’t get me wrong my cast iron pans are amazing but the constant maintenance can be exhausting. The Hexclad pan is being promoted as a hybrid of stainless steel, the durability of cast iron, and completely non-stick. They didn’t disappoint. Plus they’re so much lighter than my cast iron skillets and cleanups are a breeze. Let me give anyone who reads this a few tips: #1 Follow the directions given in the package. #2 Please, put a buffer between what you’re cooking and the pan. I use beef tallow, lard, or ghee. And please whatever you do, stay away from seed oils. Not only are they extremely unhealthy for you but their high heat points can’t cut it like natural fats. #3 Cook on low to medium heat. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll be surprised at how well these pans heat up. #4 When using any stainless steel utensils, don’t dig into the pan or use a fork with the tines down scraping the bottom, or doing the same thing with a knife, or ….. you get the point. See what I did there? Point? And lastly #5 …… refer back to #2 and you won’t go wrong. Watching some of the videos where someone is cooking scrambled eggs without a buffer — what did you think was going to happen!? SMH Happy cooking! Update: I have used this pan for just about everything and I absolutely love it. It has literally became my favorite pan. Cooking is fun once again and the food tastes better. The ergonomics of the pan handle helps as it stays cool. But don’t put your pan in the oven at 500° and then grab it by the handle because your’re itching for a burn you don’t want. This pan is a little heavier than what most of you are use to with your Teflon pans; that’s because they’re made from quality materials. I am disappointed they’re made in China, but they are designed and planned here in the US. So the reason for writing this update is, and as I stated earlier, I really love this pan. So much so I purchased the complete set. Everyone has their own set of pans they love, and all I’m doing is giving you my two cents worth. As of right now 11.21.2024, Hexclad has their Black Friday sale. Check them out as you won’t be disappointed. Happy cooking!

Great little frypan so far

It’s a fake product that you are selling. The pan is not from hex clad it’s from a brand called Flanek. Handle is different from photo of advertised product.

It is everything the ads say about it. I believe I will be happy with this pan far into the future.

This frying pan does not do what it claims .Everything sticks.Im trying to return it but the company isn’t playing ball.Might have to escalate.Don’t touch

I’ve been using the HexClad 12-inch hybrid nonstick frying pan, and it’s quickly become one of my most-used pans in the kitchen. The hybrid nonstick surface is a great balance between traditional nonstick and stainless steel. Food releases easily, but I can still get a good sear on meats. It handles eggs, vegetables, and proteins well without sticking when used properly. The pan heats evenly, feels solid and well-built, and the stay-cool handle is comfortable and secure. I also like that it’s induction-ready and works on all cooktops, which makes it very versatile. Being oven safe and dishwasher safe is a big bonus for convenience and cleanup. This isn’t a flimsy lightweight pan — it feels durable and designed to last. As long as you follow the recommended care (medium heat and light oil), performance has been excellent. Overall, this is a high-quality, all-purpose frying pan that performs well across a wide range of cooking tasks and is worth the investment.
