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 made meatballs in the pan, well, I made meatballs in the oven, then simmered them in sauce for an hour in the pan. It wasnt near the capacity of the pan, but I was making scratch meatballs after work and didnt have time for a slow cooker and I wanted to try the new pan. The heat distribution was fantastic on my gas range. No burned edges on the meatballs and no sauce stuck to the bottom of the pan. Come cleanup time I was amazed that it just wiped out, even the ring that forms at the top of the sauce just wiped out. This is not a coated pan, but laser etched stainless steel. Im a customer for life as this is amazing. FWIW, the instructions have you season the pan, similar to cast iron. I followed the instructions included with the pan and it didnt take more than a few minutes and was easily completed while I prepped my meatballs. Im not sure how much this contributed to the ease of cleanup, but it was simple enough I wasnt taking a chance.

Love this cookware cleans really nice

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.

Amazing quality but you have to pay out the nose for it

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.

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

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!

Great pot !

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!!!

Lots of space for a decent serving! Heat distributes evenly and handles are easy to grip! Lid fits perfectly for simmering! Easy to clean & maintain!
