Try HexClad and see why Gordan Ramsay loves it — and you'll love it too.
Cookware Backed by Chef Gordon Ramsay
“HexClad stands up to my demands at home and in the studio. Not only are they beautiful pans, but their hybrid technology cooks to absolute, utter perfection.”
The Nonstick Ability Was (Mostly) Good
“The HexClad offers the best durability I've ever seen in a nonstick pan, I'll allow it that,” he says. “But where it falls short is in its claim that it's just as nonstick as any other nonstick pan. In my experience, it is not.”
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HexClad, a global innovative, premium kitchenware brand, today announced a strategic $100M investment from Studio Ramsay Global, the successful partnership between multi-Michelin starred Chef Gordon Ramsay and FOX Entertainment.
However, sometime in 2024, Hexclad ditched the PTFE and began offering the same pans just with a “high-grade proprietary ceramic nonstick called TerraBond™ which is PTFE-free and free from forever chemicals.”
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.
Will my HexClad pans scratch? Yes, even a diamond can scratch! Metal spatulas, whisks, spoons, and other metal utensils are fine, but sharp utensils could leave a scratch.
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.
While he's released pots and pans in the past, over the last few years, Flay has given his seal of approval to cookware from one of our favorite brands, GreenPan. And now, the two have worked together to create the new Bobby Flay by GreenPan collection, available exclusively at Target.
Caraway and HexClad are made in China and come with a nonstick, oven-safe construction that can be used on most stovetops (including induction!).
That's because HexClad's hybrid design distributes heat faster and more evenly. High heat might cause food to stick, disturbing the seasoning.
You can purchase HexClad products from an authorize HexClad website (listed below), Costco warehouses (during special event/ roadshows), our Amazon store, or Walmart.com.
According to Hexclad, these peaks and valleys make the cookware incredibly durable, provide even heat distribution, and create a good sear — and based on our testing, we're inclined to agree. The pots and pans are oven-safe, dishwasher-safe, metal utensil-safe, and they have a lifetime warranty.
Guy Fieri's Flavortown Laser Titanium 12-Piece Set
Fieri's favorite piece from the line, the 5-quart sauté pan, has enough capacity to cook for the whole family. “I use it probably more than I should,” he admits. The titanium surface can endure high temperatures to sear and char foods without releasing chemicals.
Why Does Gordon Ramsay Use HexClad Pans? And just like that, the ultimate step-by-step process for searing your steak just like Gordon Ramsay is nearly complete.
A Japanese knife ( 'You want one that feels good in your hand,' she told CNN), is the first product on her list that every kitchen should have. Additionally, the beloved Le Creuset Dutch oven and a stainless steel frying pan make the cut.
That she swears by this pepper grinder. And that she only uses two kinds of cookware (All-Clad and Le Creuset!). We also once learned her tip for cleaning said cookware. See, a few years ago, Ina shared an Instagram video, during which she showed us all how she makes croutons.
In terms of material, chefs tend to choose from a variety, including copper, stainless steel, cast iron, and carbon steel. Each material affects the heat distribution and retention—for example, copper is extremely conducive to heat, so it reacts quickly to changes in temperature.
What type of cookware do I use at home? Only HexClad 👉 it's just that good. Built with patented hybrid technology, this is how I cook my dishes to absolute perfection.
Don't: Assume that high heat is best.
HexClad pans do best over low to medium heat. High heat can cause oil to burn and cause build up on your pans. This can make the pans harder to clean.
One key difference between the brands is heat tolerance and materials. HexClad's stainless steel and cast iron pots and pans don't handle high heat as effectively as All-Clad's pure stainless steel. Stainless steel also weighs less and adapts to temperature changes quickly, unlike cast iron.
Sticking often occurs when you use too much heat. Our technology allows our cookware to heat up much faster than typical cookware. We often find that new customers tend to cook on too high of heat, but low heat is key! We recommend starting on medium-low heat with a little bit of oil.
Our HexClad technology allows you to sear the perfect steak with easy clean up. Who needs this?!
Pan construction
Hexclad cookware comprises an aluminum core sandwiched between layers of stainless steel with a ceramic non-stick coating and stainless steel lattice over top. This type of construction makes the Hexclad pans heftier and arguably more robust than Caraway Home cookware.
