Considering buying these to use for everything. Received a Hexclad wok as a gift last year and I've liked how it cooks and how easy it is to clean. However, I'm curious if anyone here has some of these and their thoughts. Some reviews are great, others at reddit not so much. I'm surprised a search for Hexclad brings up absolutely nothing here.
We have mostly Calphalon stuff right now and I've never really liked it, have had to have several pans and pots replaced over the years (at least they honor the lifetime warranty), and finally looking to move on. The other recommended option I'm seeing is All-Clad, which I'm open to getting, but haven't ever really used stainless steel for most of my daily cooking.
I have a cast iron skillet I use. I have a dutch oven. This is for pots and pans for most daily cooking.
So, let's hear it.
LOVE our All-Clad stuff. Got it in our wedding registry, and it is amazing and running full steam. I kind of expect it to last forever. It's very versatile, it looks great, and it cooks amazing. I've added more all-clad stuff over time because it's so good (like I wanted a saucier in addition to our saucepans to get better whisking for some dishes).
I tried hex clad at a friend's once, so very small sample, but it felt like it wasn't as non stick as the simple calphalon pan I use for eggs (legit only use it for eggs and potstickers, nothing else ever lol) or as an all clad heated up and then with cold oil added (like you should!).
If you do super hot stuff (like sear, or very high heat oven), all-clad seems better.
