HexClad 12-Inch Frying Pan Quick Review: After Years of Daily Use
Quick ReviewBy SuperZydan1 min read
Bought it myselfI bought this myself. Nobody paid me or sent me anything for this review.
My take
I own all three sizes, 8, 10 and 12 inch, and the 12 is my go-to for family dinners. It's great for a pound of ground beef spread out, a bunch of chicken, or a one-pan dish. It comes with a big lid, and the lid has a little hole for steam.
I've owned mine for years, and I use it literally every single day. That's why it has a copper patina. With the right cleaning supplies you can bring it back to how it looked new, but I like the patina. It shows the pan gets love and gets used for my family.
I'm the primary cook in this house, and I've owned a lot of pans. A lot of them say they'll last a lifetime. This is the only one I actually believe will. I'll be able to pass it down to my kids, and it has a lifetime warranty too.
If you're looking for a high quality, long-lasting pan, look no further.
Heads up: with daily use it gets a copper patina. You need the right cleaner if you want it to look new again.
