HexClad cookware combines high-quality stainless steel with a laser-etched non-stick surface featuring our patented hexagonal design to provide the ideal hybrid cooking performance. Utilizing a tri-ply construction, our cookware has a layer of aluminum encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel for perfect heat distribution. HexClad pots are completely non-toxic and PFOA-free. The cooking surface is a combination of ceramic, diamond dust, and stainless steel for the best balance of utility and performance. HexClad Cookware is ready for any kitchen, thanks to compatibility with all types of cooktops including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic, as well as being oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Keeping your HexClad Cookware looking clean is a breeze; the surface is metal-utensil resistant to avoid scratches and can be cleaned with steel wool pads and scouring. In addition, all HexClad Cookware is dishwasher-friendly (though hand-washing is highly recommended). HexClad's products are created to last a lifetime.
