To understand the quality of the HexClad brand, it's important to understand the hybrid technology. The hybrid design refers to the combination of stainless steel and nonstick properties.
Instead of choosing a pot or pan made with stainless steel materials or nonstick coating, you get both when you choose HexClad products.
Using a unique design of peaks and valleys, HexClad cookware products are unlike anything else available.
The HexClad hybrid technology also makes the products visually appealing. They use a diamond dust coating that not only lasts after frequent use but also gives the pot and pan sets a shiny design.
HexClad isn't the first brand to use a technology like this. Similar technologies include granite and titanium. The problem with these products is that materials like granite and titanium are not as scratch resistant.
The nonstick coating just doesn't stick to the other materials as well. This leads to pots and pans with a nonstick coating that eventually wears off. Not only does a worn nonstick coating affect your cooking ability, but it can also be dangerous.
Many nonstick coatings are made with harmful chemicals, so when you mix them in with your ingredients, they are potentially dangerous. HexClad also uses safer materials, so even if they could flake off, they're not as dangerous as other products.
