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

Its my favorite pot. Easy to use. Easy to clean. And I can make alot at one time. Some to eat and some to freeze! Love this pot.

This is a really great stock pot. If this hadn’t been up for review, there’s no way I could’ve purchased a $200 pot. When it arrived, the packaging was impressive. The lid and the pot are individually wrapped in a dust bag. The interior of the pot is really beautiful. It has laser etching, which is supposed to provide a nonstick surface allowing you to cook while using less oil, grease and butter. This pot consist of 3 layers. Stainless steel, aluminum, then another layer of steel that is diamond etched. This provides a durable, even heated non stick, no scratch pot. This pot is safe to use up to 500°. What I like most is that it is scratch resistant. Most of the pots I buy, after a year or two, I have to throw away because they have been scratched during washing or with cooking utensils. This pot says that you can clean it by scorching or using steel wool pads. Honestly, I can’t imagine taking steel wool to a $200 pot. If it’s truly nonstick, why would you need to use steel wool? Main important thing is to properly season before your first initial cooking. It’s simple to do. Bring your pot to a medium-low heat. Use 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Leave it on the heat for 2 to 3 minutes and that’s it. HexClad offers a lifetime warranty.

I have yhe whole set been buying them sine they had the 7 piece set at Costco Chef quality

Not only is worth the money you pay for this and that it has lifetime warranty, but the fact that there’s a lot for every need. I got all the pots that they make and I use them all but this one is the king because it makes easy to cook for lots of people or meals that need a big space.

If you havent owned one, nows the time. HexClad products are just legit-and-a-half. Just unpacking it, youd know immediately that youre unpacking what a lot of chefs are calling, The Rolls Royce of cookware. The material is solid and you know it will last for a very, very long time. It has a nice weight to it and that tells you the legitimacy of this product. The lid also has a nice weight to it. Seamless design that impresses everyone who uses it. All you need to do before using it is read the directions on how to correctly season it so you can take advantage of the non-stick feature of the HexClad and to ensure that it will last for a very long time. This is a great find.

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!!!

This is a nice, attractive pot. It is heavy, works well with induction, and heats evenly. So far I have only used it to make burgers - the high walls help to contain spatter. It cleans up well, but I havent tried making eggs in it, and likely wont. It recommends seasoning, which is utter nonsense. The black coating is ceramic nonstick, and the silver bits are stainless steel. Neither of these materials take well to seasoning, as they are not porous surfaces. It is trendy online to recommend seasoning stainless, but at best it is a waste of time and oil. At worst, you can polymerize the oil, and destroy the finish of your pot. Update: I did wind up using this for eggs this morning. I fried up a slice of bacon and a sausage patty in it (to control spatter) and then cooked two beaten eggs mixed with 3 tbsp of salsa. I used the bacon grease from the slice of bacon to cook the eggs.My expectations were low based on other reviewers experience with eggs. I was pleasantly surprised that the eggs did not stick at all. Normally, I turn the burner off shortly before the eggs are done, put cheese on top, and then cover to let the cheese melt from the residual heat. I forgot to turn the burner off this morning, but still no sticking - and the cheese didnt stick either. I used an induction burner set to 400 watts, which is approximately medium-low.

This pot is the highest quality I’ve owned. I’m impressed with its durability and anticipate it will last forever. There’s nothing I can say about it that I don’t love. You’re able to use metal utensils in it and it’s oven safe up to 500 degrees. It’s also dishwasher safe, but I plan to hand wash anyway for the sake of keeping it top notch and to save space. If you’re on the fence about purchasing this stock pot, do it! You will certainly not regret it.

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.
