Hexclad has what they call a “hybrid” design that uses both clad stainless steel and nonstick technology. The pans are standard tri-ply clad stainless steel with an aluminum interior for fast, even heating (see more on our performance testing below). They then add a nonstick coating and a laser-etched stainless steel lattice over the nonstick. The lattice is made up of hundreds of tiny hexagons, which give Hexclad its name.
The Hexclad website describes this lattice as a system of “peaks and valleys,” with the stainless steel being the peaks and the nonstick coating being the valleys. The slightly protruding stainless steel protects the nonstick coating from damage while still providing the benefits of a nonstick pan.

Hexclad also puts the nonstick coating/stainless lattice on the exterior of their pans. This is probably purely for appearance-the pans are quite beautiful-but it makes the pans easy to clean and scratch resistant both inside and out.

It’s a new design, but it’s not an entirely new idea. Other nonstick makers use reinforcements like granite, titanium, and diamond dust in their coatings to make them more durable, and for the same reasons: the reinforcement material protrudes above the nonstick coating to protect it.
However, Hexclad is the first (as far as we know) to actually place a protective layer of latticed stainless steel over a nonstick coating. (NOTE: One commenter below says that this idea was done before by a German cookware brand. We haven’t done any research to confirm this.)
It’s innovative, and it looks phenomenal. But does it really work?
Let’s find out.

To get a general idea of Hexclad’s performance, this chart compares Hexclad to tri-ply clad stainless and PTFE (Teflon) nonstick skillets.
Data given here should be similar for most clad stainless and nonstick brands of comparable quality, but we used the data for All-Clad D3 tri-ply and All-Clad HA1 nonstick; Hexclad prices are similar to All-Clad D3 prices, so we thought this would be a good comparison.
We did not include tri-ply nonstick-which might seem like a fairer comparison price-wise-because we don’t recommend buying it; cast aluminum pans are less expensive and heat just as well, so we think they’re the practical choice due to how short-lived nonstick coatings can be.
