I'd been looking at the Hexclad pans for months as well as an Analon set of frying pans (which didn't have the stainless steel hi-lo mesh/induction) and so was very pleased to see these on sale.

We like them both for how well they are made as well as the searing ability they offer. They do have an engineered "dimple" in the middle of the pans to hold oil there and this is a brilliant solution to having oil run towards the outside.

They clean up easily, the eggs don't stick (when you let the pan heat up properly) and they feel very solid in hand.

The only thing I could wish for is more coverage up the sides of the stainless steel disk on the bottom, but I know that would make these pans heavier (I have the 12" version of these pans and it is indeed a bit too heavy already).

In short, I hope to be cooking with these pans for many years to come.
