We recommend starting on medium-low heat with a little bit of oil. Our pans do require a little bit of oil since they are hybrid pans (incorporating a nonstick cooking surface with raised stainless steel). As with most fine cookware, HexClad cookware should be seasoned before the first use or after a deep cleaning.
since hexclad is a hybrid of stainless and an etched teflon coating it can suffer the same problems of any coated pan. The teflon is a paint sprayed on the stainless then etched to create the pattern. Once you have worn the coating off you now have a spot where everything will begin to stick.
Over the first few weeks of use, your HexClad Hybrid cookware will perform better as it re-seasons from the fats in the food you are cooking. If you're still experiencing sticking after owning the pans for an extended time, we recommend giving the pan a deep clean with a more abrasive sponge and then re-season the pan.
A: Eggs should not stick as long as (1) the pans are properly seasoned, (2) you use a small amount of spray or oil, and (3) you use medium/low heat. For more information, visit the FAQ page on the HexClad website.
HexClad Cookware advertises its nonstick pans as free from harmful chemicals. But, according to recent reports, HexClad may be using a chemical compound called PTFE as a non-stick coating on its pans. PTFE is a type of PFA, or “forever” chemical, that can build up in the human body and does not break down over time.

Does HexClad have Teflon in it? Teflon is a proprietary brand of PTFE made by Chemours that is not used by HexClad. Instead, the brand now uses ceramic to coat the nonstick valleys of its cookware.
However, If food is difficult to remove with hot soapy water and a soft sponge, you can use steel wool and good old-fashioned elbow grease. If thi fails, try creating a paste with baking soda and water. (A product like Bar Keepers friend works well, too.)
You can find nonstick cookware at much lower prices than HexClad. If you have the budget, however, HexClad is the better option. It's nonstick, it's more durable, and it provides a superior cooking experience.
To season your pans properly: Heat your pan on medium-low. Spread 1 teaspoon of Vegetable, Avocado, or Olive Oil around the interior of the pan. Leave your pan on medium heat for 2-4 minutes.
Since our pans are metal utensil safe it allows you to use more abrasive sponges like steel wool. For tougher stains, allow your pans to soak in warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes followed by a scrub with a more abrasive sponge. Barkeeper's friend works great too!
That's because HexClad's hybrid design distributes heat faster and more evenly. High heat might cause food to stick, disturbing the seasoning.
Try oiling the surface to bring back some of the pan's nonstick quality. (Use seed oils to do this, not olive oil.) Place the pan on medium heat for about five to seven minutes to bring the oil to its smoking point, which helps the oil bond to the pan's surface.
Compatible With Metal Utensils
In addition, HexClad pans are metal utensil-safe, allowing for up to 500 degrees of heat exposure and easy cleaning in the dishwasher.
Proper preheating is crucial for cooking eggs in stainless steel without sticking. Start by heating your pan on medium to high heat (around 6 or 7 on most stovetops). To determine if the pan has reached the ideal temperature, perform the water test: sprinkle a few droplets of cold water into the pan.
Use a nonstick muffin tin.
These egg bites love to stick to the pan, so make sure your muffin tin is nonstick. If you don't have a nonstick pan, a good alternative is a silicone mold. It'll allow you to easily to pop out the egg bites!

Our products are designed in Los Angeles and South Korea. Like the vast majority of cookware and other products today, our products are manufactured in China.
HexClad says its pans are designed to last a whole lifetime, which is backed by the manufacturer's lifetime warranty for defects. However, it does make clear that the warranty doesn't cover damage incurred by improper care or use – so it's worth making a note of the care and cleaning instructions advised by the brand.
