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.

The HexClad 8 Quart Hybrid Stainless Steel Pot Saucepan with Glass Lid is an exceptional piece of cookware that is perfect for any home cook. This saucepan is made from a combination of stainless steel and a non-stick surface that is PFOA-free, making it both durable and safe for cooking. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for high-quality cookware that is both durable and easy to use. With its unique design, non-stick surface, stay-cool handles, and generous capacity, this saucepan is an excellent investment for any home cook who wants to make delicious meals with ease.

This pan lives up to the advertising. It is well packaged and presented well coming out, and the finish is amazing. You can tell unboxing it that it is a premium product. Upon washing it and getting it ready I was excited to get cooking. It was easy to get going, nothing needed to jump right in and use it like most cast iron. I did use oil as recommended, and my food turned out amazing. Using lower heat than most pans nothing stuck and the food was great. Ill be looking to get more HexClad pans in the future!

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.

Fantastic cookware. The biggest draw was you can use metal spatulas and can clean with an sos pad etc. You do not have to use high heat to cook.
