If you love to cook, you’ve probably heard of HexClad, especially as it's endorsed by none other than Chef Gordon Ramsay. And, the HexClad sale is heating up just in time for the Fourth of July – making it a good time to shop the brand’s revolutionary blend of stainless steel and non-stick technology.
With such high praise, it’s no surprise that HexClad cookware can be a bit of an investment. But thanks to this 4th of July blowout, it's your chance to score star-spangled savings on the best HexClad pans.
You can snag up to 42% off their best-selling sets, knives, and cutting boards, too. Speaking as a trained cook and kitchen appliance editor, these are my top picks from the HexClad sale.
My top picks from the Fourth of July HexClad sale
To celebrate the 4th of July, you can get up to 42% off on best-selling sets and individual pieces in the HexClad sale.
HexClad curated this set after studying cooks around the world. Home cooks reach these three pans for the most – whether searing a steak for one, baking a frittata for four, or sizzling chicken and finishing it in the oven. If you’re a beginner or a keen cook investing in good quality stuff for the first time, this is a great place to start.
Gordon Ramsey's favorite (and mine too). When I was working as a recipe editor, we used this 10-inch frying pan to test and shoot recipes, particularly sizzling steak, and seared seafood. This bundle comes with a tight-fitting glass lid, too.
If you take your pizza as seriously as I do, this lightweight Hybrid Pizza Steel delivers crisp crusts every time. The deal includes an accessory set (rocking slicer, server, and a cutting board that doubles as a serving tray), so you'll be slicing and serving like a true backyard pizzaiolo.
If you're into one-pot cooking, this is a winner. You can sear, braise, fry and simmer all in one. It has a stay-cool stainless handle, a steam lid, and it's oven-safe up to 400F. I loved the customer review that simply said: 'I am 72 and this is best cookware I have ever owned, just wish that I had gotten it years ago.
I have just tested and reviewed this HexClad knife set, and accidentally fallen in love. I've tested tons of knives from the most premium brands but now I've got used to the control, balance, and sheer sharpness of this HexClad set, it’s hard to reach for anything else.
This is my dream set. With over $700 off (yes, you read that right), you really get what you pay for. These are the best-selling frying pans, saucepans, Dutch ovens, mixing bowls, and chef’s knife you'll use daily for the rest of your life.
If you're keen to try the viral smash burger trend this summer but don't want to make a sticky mess, you'll love this non-stick griddle from HexClad. At just over $100, it's affordably priced in the sale.
The task might be a little boring, but everybody needs a good knife for slicing, dicing and chopping. I have to agree with Gordon Ramsay's proverb: a chef is only as good as their knives. I've been testing this one recently and it's not just good, it's excellent.
I'm a die-hard Le Creuset fan when it comes to slow-cooking and braising; but the HexClad Dutch Oven pleasantly surprised me. I tested the smaller 5-quart version, but even this 6.5-quart is more affordable and lighter than an equivalent Le Creuset. It will stand you in good stead for the colder months ahead.
Is shopping the HexClad sale worth it?
If you cook every day and take proper care of your tools, I think shopping for pieces in the HexClad sale is a good idea. Here are the pros and cons of the brand in my opinion:
Pros of HexClad cookware:
- Lifetime warranty: The brand backs its pans, pots and cutlery with a lifetime warranty against defects, so even if you're paying less in a HexClad sale, you're investing in a product designed to last.
- Durable & easy to clean: In my HexClad review, I found the pans to be robust. They're oven-safe up to 500°F and safe to use with metal utensils – a rare combination in cookware.
- Comfortable handles: Designed with ergonomics in mind, the handles make cooking a comfortable experience. I especially like the knife handles.
- Great non-stick performance: If you cook on a low-to-medium temperature (avoiding high heat) you'll get golden ingredients with no sticking or burnt bits.
Cons of HexClad cookware:
- Expensive: Even in the sales, the price tags can be high for this globally acclaimed brand. I have a feeling that celebrity endorsements push the price higher.
- The pans require seasoning: You need to look after the cookware properly to make them last – which includes seasoning the pan (rubbing it with oil) regularly to preserve the non-stick qualities. The same goes for the knives; they need to be treated and maintained very carefully. But in my opinion, that's a small price to pay for kit that lasts the years.
- Pans can be heavy: If you have weak wrists, you might prefer a lighter frying pan from competitors like Caraway.
How long do HexClad pans last?
HexClad cookware is built to last a lifetime, a claim supported by its lifetime warranty for defects. However, the longevity will depend on your proper use and care. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from improper cleaning or misuse, so it’s important to read the instructions carefully before you start cooking. Here are my tips to get the most out of your HexClad sale purchase
- Avoid using high heat on the pots and pans; low to medium-high is sufficient for most cooking tasks.
- Steer clear of harsh detergents or abrasive sponges when cleaning both pans and knives, since this can damage the materials.
- Season your pans with a thin layer of oil occasionally, especially during the first few weeks of use.
Is HexClad non-toxic?
Yes. HexClad say, 'Our cookware features our proprietary TerraBond™ ceramic nonstick which is PFAS-free, ensuring a better cooking experience. We tested our pots and pans for PFAS compounds and all results were below the laboratory's detection limits, known as 'Non-Detect'. That puts the brand in the best non-toxic cookware category.
When is the next HexClad sale?
HexClad haven't revealed when the next HexClad sale will occur. They also haven't explicitly stated when this 4th of July sale will end, but I'm hoping it might stick around for the weekend.
After that, Amazon is holding four days of Prime Day sales, so we might see some HexClad sale action over there, but I'll keep you posted.
