These pans are amazing. Work well with low heat, maintain food flavor and the non stick is real. They are beautiful too which adds a spark to my kitchen. Bought the first set at Costco, then grabbed this one on Amazon to complete my stock.

I seasoned each piece as directed and been very happy with this cookware. I have an induction cooktop and it works wonderfully well. Keep in mind this isn't completely non-stick, but is the best of both worlds in my opinion. They are a good weight, look beautiful, clean up easily, and cook efficiently and with ease. I have not put mine in the dishwasher and probably won't so I can't speak to that. Definitely invest in these!

This was part of the 12-piece set I purchased. I have looked at this cookware before and have seen a few advertisements on it. In the past, I hesitated trying it since, in most of the pictures and videos, it looks like it has a bumpy or rough interior. When I saw the 7-quart hybrid sauce pan, I decided I had to try it to replace a 7-quart Staub Dutch oven that I have. I was so impressed by this sauce pan, I decided to buy the 12-piece set of this cookware. This set was shipped in two boxes. One box include the 6-piece pot set with lids ( 2 and 3 quart pots and 8 quart stock pot), and the other box included the 6-piece frying pan set with lids (8, 10, and 12 inch frying pans with lids).

I cook quite a lot and have quit a lot of cookware of various types and brands, including Staub, Le Creuset, cast iron, , Tramontina, carbon steel, Calphalon stainless steel, and Ninja Premium cookware. In most of these, I have complete, or almost complete, sets of every piece available in each type of cookware. Each of these has their pros and cons, and all are very non-stick aside from cast iron and carbon steel that must be well seasoned.

Since this review is for the HexClad cookware, I will not get into the pros and cons of each type of cookware, but will compare the HexClad cookware to some of them and let you know why I prefer this cookware over some of the others.

It should be noted that it is suggested to wash and season the cookware with vegetable oil before using. I used Crisco shortening which I also use on my cast iron pans. When I seasoned the pans, the oil was completely absorbed. After the initial seasoning, these pans should not need to be seasoned again even when cleaned with soap and water. Cast iron and carbon steel pans should be seasoned after every use.

So, what do I like about this cookware as compared to the other cookware I have?

1 - Cast iron, and enameled cast iron is very heavy and must be seasoned after every use to maintain it. This cookware does not required seasoning after it is done initially. Carbon steel is not as heavy, but must also be seasoned after every use.
2 - Stainless steel cookware needs to be cleaned very time with Bar Keeper's Friend to keep it clean and shiny. The HexClad cookware does have stainless steel on the exterior, but is easier to keep looking shiny since cooking is not done on it. Wash and dry works.
3 - Most of the cookware mentioned above can be relatively nonstick when used and seasoned properly and after learning how to use it. Stainless cookware can be more challenging since temperature and what you cook can be issues. Cast iron, carbon steel, and even enameled cookware depends on persistent seasoning after every use aside from the Ninja Premium cookware that maintains a nonstick, easy to clean surface as does the HexClad cookware. Other than Tramontina cookware, the nonstick surfaces of most are durable.
4 - As for weight, the cast iron and enameled cast iron (Staub and Le Creuset) are the heaviest, carbon steel comes in second, and HexClad and Ninja are about the same.
5- The warranty for HexClad is lifetime vs. the Ninja warranty that is 5-10 year depending on whether you register cookware on the Ninja website. For the HexClad cookware, you must save your purchase receipt.

This is all of the differences I can think of for now. If I think of more, I will add them. For now, I am impressed with the HexClad cookware, but I will not likely eliminate much of the cookware I already have. As mentioned previously, each has their own benefits. I may eventually decide to eliminate some of the heavier cookware as it is more difficult to use. I may also eliminate cookware that requires more maintenance.

I will update this review if my opinion changes. I hope this review was helpful for you.

Perfect, love these!!! They work great!

Love this cookware! Use it everyday and it is Amazing! Yes it is expensive but you won't be disappointed
