    Hexclad Pan Review, Real World Real Time - Lots of Pictures!

    It is a big commitment for sure, but at 100 per pan and lid it’s not really more than any of the “name brand” ones. Like I’ve said previous we have our stainless and the Hex and we aren’t going to give either up soon.

    Hexclad Pan Review, Real World Real Time - Lots of Pictures!

    As far as I know the lawsuit is all done ie we got a claim letter if we wanted to get some $$ back, it was like 5% or something. I didn’t send mine back because we a very happy with them. All the new pans are the TerraBond or a ceramic that is rated at 900 degrees. I’ve only had the new pan...

    An air fryer is just a small convection oven in roast mode. They work very good for smaller cooks or two people.

    Chuck done right

    That’s a nice looking smoked chuck…. As an fyi I always just trim out the stubborn connective tissue (there is always some that needs trimming) as I pull it, chuck is a staple at our house and that one would fit right in!

    Hexclad Pan Review, Real World Real Time - Lots of Pictures!

    The seasoning isn't a seasoning like a CI pan, so not in the oven or at high temp. It is simply getting the pan medium hot (under 300 degrees surface temp) and coating it with oil to "seep" in the surface openings. It only takes 3 to 5 minutes. For pancakes take a cube of butter with the...

    I would wash it in the dish washer (or wash it with really hot water) then season it, ie get it med hot then wipe down with oil and let heat for 4-5 mins…..then let cool. Then when using pre-heat dry then wipe with oil or butter before. Be heavy on the butter or oil for the first couple of...
