HEXCLAD Cookware
« on: August 05, 2018, 10:08:22 AM »
I have several types of frying pans; cast iron, enameled cast iron, stainless steel, titanium-ceramic lined stainless steel, ceramic coated aluminum and, probably, others (I'm not going to audit the cabinet)—none totally satisfy me.

The man that was demonstrating HEXCLAD Cookware in Costco yesterday had a convincing sales pitch.  I bought a set.

     
Two views of the same box.

Their web site, here, has a video of about the same sales pitch that I watched.

Did anyone else bite?  What are your opinions so far?

EDIT:  Corrected the URL (It has changed since the original post)

 Interesting video. You'll have to let us know how they work, both long and short term. Cook on.

I look forward to your thoughts.  I need to buy a new skillet and don't know what to get, so this interests me.

I’ll stick with my restaurant grade nonstick pans. When I wear it out I toss it but they’re so cheap it doesn’t matter.

I also would be interested in hearing the experience of the hexclad. Lately I have been buying all of my pots and pans from Restaurant Depot.

Worked for me and the chef in the video WASN'T impressed with the hexclad pan.

I'm also in the market for new pans but that video was pretty harsh on hexclad.  Let us know pmillen, I'll keep looking.

$129 for the 12 inch...should have pulled the trigger right when I was at the site.  Can use the egg beater in it, that is me, melted plastic wont stick to it, that is me, can put cheese right in the pan to make quesadilla or grilled cheese, that would definitely be me!

Well, this thread aint going anywhere, maybe tomorrow!  Here is a question, any cheaper in Costco?

I have been buying these, the first one I got several years ago was great, until I somehow turned the burner down instead off off and the nylon wallyworld spatula just fused itself to the pan and the handle so I bought another one and used it and noticed that it is humped up in the center, I contacted the Tfal folks they said to send it back and they would look at it and determine if it was under warranty. So I just bought another one and brand new is seems to allow oils to fo to the perimeter of the pan. They are not as good as they were a few years ago IMO.

But they will take some metal utensil use as long as you are not rough, and the nonstick is good, I have a commercial range so the GF has issues understanding that half throttle is like full on her range so the extra heat when she cooks seems to deteriorate the nonstick.

I like that they have high sides and comes with a nice cover. It has a carbon fiber looking nonstick to is that has some texture to it. New with some whirl they make great eggs, I have fried cheese in them like that guy did, except I use a nice 3/8 thick piece when the pan is hot allow it to brown a bit then flip it over and brown the other side. All crispy and browned on the outside and warm and melty on the inside.

Yes, three frying pans and a wok are at a reduced price from that posted on the HEXCLAD web site if buy from the pitchman at Costco.  I don't know what you do if HEXCLAD doesn't have their road show in your Costco.  He may have also been selling individual pans but if he was, I didn't check the price.

Ahh, road house!  Well we are going in a few moments, maybe I will get lucky and they will at least stock them.  If so, I will be bringing home the 12 inch!  Been a bad month for the CC, might as well finish off the billing cycle with a bang!

It looked to me like half of the hexclad pan was not the same.
