Does Hex Clad Cookware Last... Is it worth it? (3 Year Review)

#hexcladpan #hexcladcookware #notsponsored #everydaylife
I've had my Hex Clad Pan for over 3 years. It's an expensive pan but it has everything you need. Does it still have it's non stick capabilities? I tested this bad boy with a standard non stick pan and my brand new hex clad and I let you guys know about everything with these cool pans to cook with.

Thanks for sharing! Always appreciate the long term reviews of products people actually use.

This is the first video of yours I've seen. I was really curious about these and you gave me a lot of great info. Thanks!

The 3 year old hexclad worked exactly as well as my current stainless steel pan that I use for eggs does, but the difference is that the stainless steel pan will continue to work the same for many, many years, not get noticeably worse in just 3 years. Also I could by at least 4 of these stainless steel pans for the same price as one of the hexclad pans.

I have hexclad and I love them. Nothing ever sticks. Everything sears beautifully. I think where people go wrong with hexclad is that you need to begin with a hot oiled pan. I took culinary classes because I love cooking. I use pans differently since then. If I use soapy water to clean them I re-season them. If I just rinse them in hot water and paper towel them clean, I don't. I have the 12 piece set and a couple of the single pans.

Lionel here in Central California. Nice review. I've tried all sorts of pans over the years. I purchased some of the copper ones, they needed oil when they said you don't. They scratched when they said they wouldn't. When using oil and non metal utensils they were good. I then watched a couple of cast iron videos and decided to order a 10.5 inch flat skillet from Lodge, an American company for under 25 dollars. It came pre seasoned, but I reseasoned it. I wanted it flat so it would be easier to turn my eggs over. It does have a quarter inch lip. I do use a flexible metal utensil. You can't beat how well and evenly it heats. The eggs don't stick. Just saying....

holy smokes, I deeply respect your time to refer to scholarly articles for your references to PFOS/PFOAS

[Mike_Malloy]

The thing about non-stick pans that concern me is even though the Hex Clad last longer, the chemical coating does wear off as you noted after 3 yrs. It's going somewhere and that has to be in your food. That's what scares me vs stainless steel pans.

[wkjeeping]

My cast iron pans are over 10 years and are still none stick. Use daily and never had to reseason. Use all utensil, knifes, and everything used. Cost 50 for 2 pans.

Thank you for changing my mind about investing in an expensive hexclad set. I’m buying a cast iron set instead.

[ryanrogers]

I have read reviews of people saying they cannot get the warranty to replace a pan that is no longer nonstick after 2ish years of use. Hexclad was telling them their warranty doesn't cover no longer nonstick.

Dog is waiting in the wing for any more egg slip ups🤣. LoL

[brassteeth]

We received a very nice set of non stick pans for our wedding. Five kids later i have one left that no one ever touched but me. I still use it for omelette. I did move to stainless and carbon which with practice have become my favorites.
My wife saw Mr Chef Ramsay and hocking the hexclad. She asked me what i thought and I said I have no idea so here I am.
Thanks for the insight.

Cutting in your Hexclad pan with a knife will likely damage the non-stick coating (damage visible with magnification)! So I suggest not doing that. The reason is that a knife edge is sharp hardened steel and will bite into those stainless steel (not hardened) ridges and get to the non-stick coating! So while blunt metal implements and steel wool are ok, knife edges are not!

Re, the older Hexclad not being as non-stick as the new one. Be interesting to see what the 'deglaze' treatment with water and baking soda does (no scrubbing reqd). This method is recommended by Scanpan for their CTX line (similar metal safe non-stick surface). Disclaimer, I do not have a Hexclad, but do have several Scanpan CTX, and this definitely works for them - my 2 year old pans are just as non-stck as when new (in fact a quirk of the CTX is that the older pans are actually a bit more non-stick than the new, as a bit of oil residue improves slickness on the slightly rough pan surface)!

One thing you didn't discuss is care. How do you take care of your pans? Do you have to re-season them every time you use them? Once in a while? I have a set of Hexclads and I hate them. They're good when I do a deep clean and re-season but shortly after they start to stick, and I mean stick bad like they were coated in glue. I've gone back to using my cast iron and carbon steel skillets. I do have to re-season them (cast irons, not carbon steels) every few weeks to keep them perfectly nonstick but they work great and I don't have to worry about PTFEs or anything with them. Maybe there aren't any studies that say PTFEs aren't safe for humans, but if they'll kill a bird can they really be safe for humans?

[rextransformation]

Jeesus, can't you simply use a silicone spatula???

Plus, I don't understand: is your 3yr old HexClad not nonsticking properly because of your abuse with a metal spatula, or for other reasons? 'Cause we are used with silicone ones that are great.
Wooden spatula aren't good for Teflon coated pots either as they do scratch off the coating.

[carolinerheaume]

I just bought the two sets today from Costco and I’m glad to know they hold up. Your review was very through.

[mklein]

This is the first time I came across your video, thank you for the information, even though I had to rewind couple times to admire your dogs. They’re definitely wait for the egg flipping again :)

[Vexxy]

How do you keep the silver/metal part nice and shiny? Mine becomes brown and I have to scrub and it's not shiny anymore...

[arejetko]

No-nonsense review, dude. Everyone can relate. Pretty good for long term.

[mikebakers]

So what made it less nonstick in three years? Does something wear off of it? Why is it less useable, if it has a lifetime warranty they should replace it.
