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

First off the packaging is fantastic. The certificate and paper work it comes shows you right from opening it that this is quality. The paper stock is high quality and very thick. The attention to detail is 10/10. The pot comes with its own bag to store or carry in. When I pulled out this pot it was a thing of beauty. This is my second HexClad item and this blew me away even more. Ok enough with the presentation aspect. I seasoned it then I threw in stew meat with flour which always stuck to my stainless. Such a headache but thats a thing of the past. Nothing stuck at all, I was shocked. When it came time to clean it was a breeze. I am in love with this pot if you cant tell. Kudos guys, you knocked it out of the park as far as I am concerned! Oh yeah you can use metal untensil in a non-stick! Mind blown!!!

We have a bunch of non-stick pans that weve used for years, and it was recently that I took a good look at my T-Fal saucepan... Im realizing that the coating is breaking down after the past 3 years of near daily use. I started to look into Stainless Steel, but I wasnt looking forward to scrubbing them clean when food sticks and burns on it. Then I looked at this HexClad 8-quart Saucepan and I think I have found my next great cookware. It came nicely boxed and protected, and the glass lid and pot had no blemishes or rough edges. The inside of the pot is a nice textured dark grey, and is supposed to be a mix of ceramics and diamond dust for non-stick performance. The same coating is present on the outside of the pot as well. Your first use asks for the pot to be seasoned with a tablespoon of vegetable oil on medium-low; after that, I decided to try making a Chili Mac to test it out. Sweating down some chopped onions and celery showed no obvious hot spots, and adding in the tomatoes and tomato sauce and cooking things down for an hour went fine. I like the glass lid since I can see inside the pot easily. The meal prep went fine, and when I went to wash up the pot, it was a breeze... a quick rinse out, soap to clean and final rinse left it in great shape. There were no discoloration from the acids in the tomato puree, and no burnt spots on the bottom. It has a nice hefty weight, and is a great size for sauces and stews. I definitely will be looking at more Hexclad products in the future!

I have cast iron pans and theyre so heavy. When i saw this hybrid I was intrigued. This pot is absolutely amazing. Its the best of all worlds. It heats and cleans like a dream. It does say its dishwasher safe, which might be nice in a pinch but if you plan on seasoning it then I would recommend against it. This pot is lightweight and gorgeous. You can use metal utensils in it which blew my mind. Im so tired of getting expensive pots that I have to replace every few years. This comes with a lifetime warranty and the brand is a very solid name. Highly, highly recommend.

This hexclad stockpot is wonderful! The heat distribution is excellent, and the food doesnt stick. It is easy to clean and looks great!

It’s heavy but I’m guessing that’s why it cooks evenly and cleans up extremely well.

I love this pot because made of good material, is easy to clean and use

The hexclad is very useful for anything. I can use this to make soup without worrying about things sticking on the bottom or mixing every 2 seconds. You can use this like a normal pan to sear too if you want.

This was my introduction to Hexclad cookware and I love it! The pot is nice and heavy and cooks evenly. My chili did not stick to the bottom of the pot and cleaned up easily with soap and water. The handles on the pot did not get hot and the glass lid fit tightly. The cookware was presented very nicely with the pot and the lid each inside of a dust cover. It looked and felt like a premium product. I have no way of knowing how this pot will perform after a few months of use, but I am very pleased with it now. I expect that as long as it is taken care of properly that it will last a long time. I am very happy with it!

An excellent product.

Disclaimer: Im a cast-iron nerd. Outside of for fond pans and Dutch ovens, thank you but I want my cookware pure. Enamel however, is only a limited solution for fond or Dutch. Once worn or damaged, it only can get worse. Unlike with pure cast-iron, the coating cant be repaired. So now I get this (+/-) Dutch oven, and the instructions says, Be sure to always season your HexClad cookware with oil. Do that, and the coating will only get better over time. Ah What? Thats cast-iron talk. Youre building up a vegetable oil polymerized coating on top of the HexClad coating? This will be interesting to see over a longer time of usage. Otherwise, it is a very nicely constructed pot. Not as hefty as cast-iron, but still some good weight to it. Oven safe up to 500F, so I am going to give it a workout as a Dutch oven. Now, the advert above does say dishwasher safe, but if youre seasoning a pan or pot, the one way you do not want to clean them, is in a dishwasher.
