What reviewers say
The hybrid construction combines a nonstick surface with raised stainless steel peaks, creating a pan that bridges some of the qualities of traditional nonstick and stainless steel cookware. Its durability is a central focus, with the hexagonal pattern described as helping protect the nonstick coating while allowing the use of metal utensils in everyday cooking. In use, the pan is shown handling a range of tasks well, with good heat conduction and retention and a surface that is generally easy to clean. The hands-on testing also shows that eggs and other delicate foods can stick if the pan is not properly preheated or if too little oil or butter is used. Another noted detail is the pan’s intentionally concave shape out of the box, which is said to flatten as it heats, while the shorter, rounder handles give it a different feel from some competing designs.
- •The raised stainless steel peaks in HexClad’s hybrid surface are presented as protecting the nonstick coating and allowing the use of metal utensils.

- •It demonstrates good heat conduction and retention, heating quickly and evenly in testing.
- •Cleanup appears straightforward, typically needing only a quick wash with soap and water.
- •Testing indicates that eggs and other delicate foods may stick if the pan is not adequately preheated or if too little oil or butter is used; the shorter, rounder handles are also noted as less ergonomic for some grips and more prone to showing smudges.

About this product
The 4.5-quart HexClad deep sauté pan is built as a multi-use piece for searing, braising, frying, and simmering in one pan. Its hybrid surface combines stainless steel with TerraBond ceramic coating, and the tri-ply body with an aluminum core is designed for quicker, even heating across all cooktops, including induction. If you're comparing pieces in broader cookware, this pan leans toward cooks who want one deeper pan for everyday stovetop and oven tasks.
Best for
- ✓Home cooks who want one deeper sauté pan for searing, simmering, braising, and frying
- ✓People making one-pot meals or batch cooking in a medium-capacity pan
- ✓Households using induction or switching between different cooktops
- ✓Buyers who want a pan that is dishwasher-friendly and metal utensil-safe
- ✓Cooks who want an oven-safe pan with a tempered glass lid for covered cooking
Not ideal for
- ✗Shoppers who want a very lightweight pan, since it weighs about 3.5 pounds before adding food
- ✗People needing a larger vessel for big family batches beyond 4.5 quarts
- ✗Buyers who prefer a simpler skillet shape instead of a deeper sauté pan format
- ✗Commercial or restaurant kitchens, since the stated lifetime warranty excludes commercial and restaurant use
Strengths

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of cooking is this pan designed for?
Its main strength is versatility: the product description says it can sear, braise, fry, and simmer, which makes it useful for one-pot meals and batch cooking. If you want a deeper everyday piece instead of a standard skillet, this is the kind of role it fills.
Will it work on induction?
Yes. The pan is stated to be compatible with any home cooktop or stovetop, including induction.
How oven-safe is it?
The pan itself is oven-safe up to 900°F. The tempered glass lid is different: it is oven-safe only up to 400°F, so the lid becomes the limiting factor for covered oven cooking.
Is it easy to clean and can I use metal utensils?
According to the listed features, it is dishwasher-friendly and metal utensil-safe. That may appeal to buyers who want lower-maintenance cookware for frequent use.
What size is the pan?
This is a 4.5-quart deep sauté pan that measures about 11 inches in diameter, 2.8 inches in height, and weighs approximately 3.5 pounds. That size may work well for everyday meals, though larger households might still want a bigger pot for oversized batches.
Does it come with a lid and warranty?
Yes, your purchase includes the tempered glass lid. The product details also state a lifetime warranty against manufacturer's defects for HexClad products sold by HexClad Cookware, with commercial and restaurant use excluded.
Our take
This deep sauté pan makes sense for home cooks who want one versatile piece that can handle stovetop searing, covered simmering, and oven finishing across any cooktop, including induction. Its hybrid surface, tri-ply construction, and included glass lid make it a practical option for everyday multi-step meals, as long as the 4.5-quart size and lower lid oven limit fit how you cook.
