Topping our list of the best HexClad cookware, the HexClad skillet features all the positives of cast-iron, stainless-steel and nonstick pans with none of the negatives. Like cast iron, it’s sturdy and resilient and retains a tremendous amount of heat. Like stainless steel, it distributes heat evenly across the surface of the pan and isn’t reactive.
See how this skillet fares in our HexClad frying pan review.

This Hybrid Cutting Board may very well be the last one you ever buy! Its tri-ply construction includes a durable bamboo base and stainless-steel top layer, plus a non-slip silicone backing for added stability. The unique hexagonal pattern on the surface prevents food from sticking, making it easier to cut, carve and chop with precision.
The nonporous stainless-steel surface is bacteria- and odor-resistant, so you can use it to prep raw meat and seafood. To clean and sterilize it, just pop it in the dishwasher.

This 5-quart Dutch Oven is half the weight of a traditional Dutch oven, giving it a powerful portability edge over competitors. As expected, it offers the same nonstick and stainless performance as HexClad’s other pans, as well as those from competitors like All-Clad. In addition to even heat distribution delivered by the hybrid materials, a lid seals in moisture for delicious pot roasts and stews—a critical feature for slow cooking.
Senior shopping editor, Katie Bandurski, uses her Dutch oven on the daily for searing dumplings, boiling pasta, simmering soup—you name it. Check out more of its features in our HexClad Dutch oven review.

A laser-etched stainless-steel hexagonal design offers serious searing power, and in between each network of hexagons is a nonstick center for easy release. The magnetic stainless-steel base boosts the pan’s performance, too, creating the ideal foundation for searing and simmering.

An ingenious in-between, this sauté pan has higher sides similar to those of a Dutch oven, which makes it perfect for deep-frying and roasting. Yet it has the same impressive surface area and nonstick-based marked by hexagonal steel ridges for superior searing as all of HexClad’s frying pans. Take into account that it’s oven-safe and dishwasher-safe, and you really can’t find a more versatile pan on the market.

While the brand has been narrowed down, there’s still a lot to think about when shopping for HexClad cookware. Here’s what to keep in mind:
HexClad’s catalog is pretty vast, so we thumbed through dozens of listings to narrow down our top picks. We focused on a few of the brand’s biggest highlights—the pans and other cookware that are highly reviewed by professional and amateur cooks alike—and used our own experiences in the kitchen to pare things down further. Finally, we wanted to ensure we presented a range of options, so we selected cookware that appealed to all budgets, focusing on pieces with the most overall value and versatility.
No, but it’s not quite that simple. Teflon is a trademarked, brand-name polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)—a chemical coating commonly used on nonstick pans. HexClad allegedly also uses a PTFE nonstick coating, but it is not actually Teflon.
HexClad cookware is supposedly free of perfluorooctanoic acids (PFOAs). The pans do, however, contain some polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is featured in most nonstick pans.
“Our products are designed in Los Angeles and South Korea,” says Hexclad. “Like the vast majority of cookware and other products today, our products are manufactured in China.”
HexClad recently settled a class action lawsuit regarding allegations of false advertising. However, no products have been recalled and they’re still safe to use.
