I Spent 30 Days Cooking with Hexclad Pans and Here's What I Learned

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yep... HexClads are some very expensive pans. It's tough to pull the trigger on something like this, especially with so many conflicting information about them. There are some things that you have to take into account about these, but they can definitely perform.

Very useful information. I just bought my first induction/convection range. It's like learning to cook and bake all over again. Thanks for this.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Any time! I'm a big believer in induction. It's improved a lot over the years. The cleanup is just fantastic, too.

Great video, as usual, Joe. Thanks for the comprehensive review, you clearly hit all the typical points where pans may have sticking points. No pun intended…

[@JoesPhenomenal]

LOL... I see what ya did there.

May 2024 I ordered the twelve piece with the extra griddle pan and I also bought their Wok and let me tell you I use the Wok more than a any other pan it's amazing! It is hard to tell where to clean it sometimes because of the texture but I use a Scotch-Brite Zero Scratch Scrub Sponges with Dawn dish soap. The big and small pots I have deep fried many times with the pots and boiled pasta no issues. I have a sears Kenmore Elite stove top electric range used both the pots and the wok on highest heat no issues. I believe I've used the Wok at least 100 times. I been cooking for almost 50 yrs both in restaurants and at home. If the HexClad were crap for the money I paid I would have been devastated.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yep.... Scotch Brite Zero Scratch pads are what I use on everything. Love em... I use the Dawn Powerwash, too. I really do like that wok, also... That was my main reason for buying these, since they came in a set and at the time there was a fantastic deal. Got the 12" wok, 8, 10, and 12 inch frypans, and 3 lids for $350 bucks.... That's hard to beat for HexClad

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Joe, your reviews have always impressed me .... Most paid Hex pan reviewers will never even go near, the fact that oil and butter are a must for satisfactory cooking... Your years in a professional kitchen are highlighted in your excellent care of your equipment 😁🍳 You can see your face in that pan 😅😅😅

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Seeing my face in the pans could be a negative. ha ha

I'm a big fan of HexClad-I own the entire collection and couldn't be happier! Thank you for clarifying that these pans aren’t meant to be traditionally non-stick; that’s exactly what sets them apart and makes them fantastic. I can’t stand those misleading ads for non-stick pans where someone slides a fried egg off an oil-free pan with a puff of air. Honestly, who cooks like that?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

You got it! I was pretty surprised. Was expecting them to be pretty bad.

[@WaynoGur]

Excellent review. Thanks. I dunno. I have cast iron pans, I am entirely happy with them. The hex clad pans are Hella expensive. My 12 inch cast iron pan was passed down 2 generations. It was my Grandfather's pan. It is over 50 years old. You're not going to be passing on hexclad to your progeny.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yeah... I'll agree with ya there... Cast iron is the GOAT

[@tomm9493]

Another awesome review Joe. $167.75 for the 10" on Amazon. No way! Unless that ten inches does a few other things.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Lol.... That would be a specialty niche!

[@leemobai762]

With the amount of oil you put in the pans nothing including glue would stick. You also used silicone utensils they claim you can use metal utensils. With a real Chinese wok you can use metal utensil and much higher heat. So hard pass on something that is overpriced.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I put a little over a tbsp.. That's what they recommend, so I just followed that. They claim the metal utensils, but I don't trust that at all... With a Chinese wok, definitely can use the metal, but those are carbon steel and you use them seasoned anyways... Totally agree with ya about the price... It's a lot... For most people that's gonna just be too steep. Thanks for the extra insight. Much appreciated!
