Are HexClad pans worth it?

Buy some good stainless clad pans, from a brand you trust in your budget

All Clad, Made In, or Tramontina, to name a few we went with Misen and have been very happy with it. You don't need a everything to be stainless, there's still a benefit to having cast iron, carbon steel, enameled, and non stick in different shapes and sizes

If you looked in my cabinets you'd see a mix of pots and pans. I have several pieces in heavy duty stainless steel by Cuisinart and I use them a lot.

Then there's 6 pans and a griddle in cast iron and a few frying pans of varying sizes with the teflon coating on them that get used a good bit.

I quit buying big pots with any coating on them years ago and went with stainless steel and a few big cast iron pots. I found the coated pots would eventually start losing the coating even when using teflon, plastic or wooden implements when cooking in them.

Everyone I know who has gotten them say they flake.

I got a bunch of Circulon A1's instead and have been very happy with them.

No

I got a letter about some I purchased a few years ago being a part of a class action lawsuit because hexclad wasn’t using whatever coating they were claiming to use……

I have a set, they do everything I need them to do
