Hi Sweet Friends, Ben here! Today I’m sharing my experience with some HexClad items I’ve added to my kitchen. I’ve been testing their pots, bowls, knives, and even their magnetic knife holder—and I’m excited to show you what I think.

A Quick Glance: HexClad Cookware & Knives
I’ve been using HexClad for a while now, and here’s the short version:
- I love that their pans are non-stick but don’t chip like Teflon.
- The knives are razor sharp (my favorite!).
- The magnetic knife holder keeps everything organized and looking great.
While HexClad products are on the expensive side, the quality makes them worth it.
Why I Chose HexClad
I’d heard a lot about HexClad’s hybrid design—stainless steel combined with a non-stick surface—and I wanted to see if it really lived up to the hype. For me, cookware has to be durable, easy to clean, and perform well—no matter what I’m making. HexClad definitely checked those boxes. Here are my thoughts on all the HexClad items I reviewed.
Note: As I mention in my video, HexClad sent me a few of the products to review, and I purchased the rest so I could give you a complete review.
Pots & Pans
What stood out to me most about the HexClad frying pans and Dutch Ovens is that they’re truly non-stick but don’t chip or peel the way Teflon can. I can cook confidently, knowing I’m not going to ruin the surface with everyday use. Plus, they heat evenly, which makes a big difference in how food turns out.
👉 Ben’s Tip: I like to use these pans for searing chicken or steak. You get a nice golden crust, and cleanup is easy—just a quick wash and they’re ready to go again.
Mixing Bowls
The HexClad stainless steel mixing bowls are really practical. They’re sturdy, come with fitted lids, and nest nicely so they don’t take up too much space. I use them for mixing, marinating, and even storing leftovers.
👉 Ben’s Tip: These bowls are perfect for meal prep. I’ll chop vegetables ahead of time, pop on the lid, and stick them in the fridge. Makes cooking during the week much faster.
The Knives
The knives are easily my favorite HexClad item. They’re sharp, balanced, and feel great to use. In fact, to show just how sharp they are, I slice through paper in the video—it’s that impressive!
👉 Ben’s Tip: In the video, I also show the honing rod that came with my knife set. I’ll be honest—I still need to learn how to use it properly since I usually sharpen my knives with a wet stone. But I’m excited to figure it out and add honing into my routine to keep the knives cutting at their best.
The Magnetic Knife Holder
I also really like the HexClad magnetic knife holder. It’s a standalone piece that sits right on the counter, keeping the knives upright, organized, and easy to grab. It not only saves drawer space but also looks sleek sitting alongside the other HexClad items.
👉 Ben’s Tip: Place the knife holder in your main prep area on the counter. Having it right there makes cooking smoother since you don’t have to stop and dig around for the right knife.
Final Thoughts
HexClad products are definitely an investment, but I’ve found the quality to be excellent across the board. From the non-stick pans that hold up beautifully, to the sharp knives and the stylish countertop knife holder, everything feels built to last. If you’re considering adding HexClad to your kitchen, I can honestly say I’m glad I did.
