Hybrid Frying Pan
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.

Cutting Board
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.

Not your average grill pan, this specially designed tool is the ideal barbecue sidekick. Fitted out with perforations, the Hybrid BBQ Grill Pan ensures even small or delicate foods, such as vegetables or fish, stay safely on the grill’s grates and are infused with that signature smoky flavor.
The heavy-duty product can withstand 900 degrees and has a nonstick surface that makes for easy cleanup. With a 13-inch diameter, this can hold a whole recipe’s worth of food, while also saving room on the rest of the grill for your steaks and sausages.

Dutch Oven
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.

Hybrid Wok with Lid
If you’re not already a devotee of wok-cooking, the HexClad wok will change that. (Read our full review!) High walls prevent splatters and spills, so you can toss your stir-fry without worry. It’s also the best place for perfecting pasta dishes and soups, thanks to the huge surface area.
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.

Salt Grinder
People are always touting the benefits of investing in a good-quality pepper grinder, but salt often gets left out of the conversation. Luckily, HexClad cookware has you covered with this salt grinder. Made from solid-milled aluminum, it boasts burr grinder technology with 10 different size settings, so every last bit of salt ends up on your plate instead of clogged in the blades.
Along the bottom is a removable cap that catches salt and allows you to pre-grind for meals and prepping.

An ingenious in-between, this saute 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.

Is HexClad cookware nontoxic?
For the most part, yes. HexClad cookware is free of perfluorooctanoic acids (PFOAs). The pans do, however, contain some polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is featured in most nonstick pans.
