HexClad 10 Quart Hybrid Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Glass Lid Stay Cool Handles, Dishwasher and Oven Safe, Works on Induction, Ceramic and Gas Cooktops

I have some pans from HexClad that I love and this was a perfect addition to my set. It has a good weight to it and I like how easy it is to use.

This is my second product from this company the most non stick futuristic pan ever easy to clean too. Stop wasting your money on other pan thinking you are saving your money. Just buy this you will use it for lifetime.

My husband and me love cooking, we both love this 10 Quart Stock Pot, it cooks wonderful and super easy clean big.

The pan is absolutely gorgeous. This is my favorite size pan to use when cooking. I use this to make my one pot meals to boiling pasta. This has a non-stick coating that works great. Its easy to clean in or out of the dishwasher. The cover has a nice seal and a vent that allows the steam to vent and not drip all over the stove.

I have been wanting to try a Hexclad product ever since I saw a display at Costco and heard all about them. I like how this cooked evenly, cleaned easily, and can be used on the stove and in the oven. It does come with instructions saying not to use a high temperature, but I do not know if that is because it will reduce the longevity of the product or because this technology does not sear well. I am deducting one star for this reason. I like to be able to use all temperatures.

Hexclad has been popular for a while as premium cookware brand. By now, youd know they have some high quality and unique looking products. The Hexclad 8 quart pot is a heavy duty cookware with engraved patterns down into the metal. The black parts are actually recessed into the metal. The metal parts help transfer heat, protect the non-stick coating, and also contribute to the non-stick properties. Both the entire inside and the outer bottom surface are engraved. Im not sure why the exterior bottom needs to be engraved and black coated though. The general construction is quite solid, made of thick multilayer steel. It has the heft of Allclads while being lighter than cast iron. In general, it is durable and works well as long as you follow the recommendations, particularly to first season the pan before using. The 8 quart is an interesting choice for a non-stick as its mostly for stewing and boiling, but it works well for sauteing and browning meats prior to stewing. Im not particularly sure what to feel about stewing in a non-stick pot though, if theres any health concerns. There are some minor issues to note though. The first is aesthetics. Most of the pot with exposed metal is polished to a mirror finish, but the rim of the pot is coarsely finished, and you can still see grind marks as well as the multiple layer of metals. There seems to be some tiny voids or off colors between the metal layers, but that could also be from grinding. It doesnt affect the performance, but for the price I figured it would be perfect in every aspect. That brings me to the next point which is price point. I have 3 other pans in similar honeycomb styles, knockoffs for sure but they have all worked amazingly well and have high quality. I also have various Allclads. The honeycomb pans vary between $30 for a 12 saute pan to $80 for a wok. The price varies a lot but I have been using the $30 pan for nearly 3 years almost daily and it has no scratches at all in the inside and works perfectly. What you get from Hexclad is definitely quality, but there is quite a bit of markup for a 8 quart pan to cost $180. Costco has Hexclad sets for under $400, so a single pot being about half that is quite expensive. Another possible issue is that the bottom of the pot is concave inwards a few millimeters at the center, with only the outer circumference touching the surface. It is not level flat. I thought this was strange for a high quality pot to have a warped bottom, as it lowers the surface area in contact with electric stove tops, but apparently some explanations say it is a design feature in consideration of how the metal expands when heated. Im not sure exactly on what is the actual reason, but just note that there is a concave curvature on the exterior bottom that also transfers to the inside bottom.

As others have mentioned, this came packaged beautifully and would make a wonderful wedding or house warming gift. I washed and seasoned as recommended. I havent cooked anything in it at a high heat. So far clean up has been awesome. Ive only handwashed it, no dishwasher for me. Overall very pleased and I hope it lasts forever. It should at thos pricepoint.

This is a great piece. A nice size! It cooked evenly and did not stick. Easy clean up! Love this pot. Very well made. Will last a lifetime. Worth every penny.

This has become my favorite kitchen cookware, as the heat distribution is perfect, so even searing roasts in it can get a perfect even char. It is heavy, so quite durable, and even after using consistently for several months has not rusted, fallen apart (the handles) or lost its non stick ability. You get what you pay for, and this is certainly evidence. Costly, but will last.

This is such a well made pot. Beautiful to look at and wonderful to use. It heats up quickly and is an easy material to clean on the inside. Great attention to detail in the pot, lid and handles. Works well for boiling water, heating sauces and is a nice size for larger quantities. I really appreciate the glass lid to see into the pot while cooking. I have enjoyed cooking with this pot.
