This Gordon Ramsay-Approved Cookware Set Is 42% Off — And Includes One of Our Favorite Nonstick Skillets
It’s no secret that navigating the cookware space can be a bit complicated. Every day it seems as if there’s a new brand hitting the market that everyone swears by, so sussing out the good from the bad is a must. That’s where we come in. Our team at The Kitchn is constantly putting brands big and small to the test to let you know if the hype is real, and one brand that talks the talk and walks the walk? Hexclad.
Chances are you’ve seen these chic, hexagon-laden pots and pans all over your social feeds. You’ve also probably seen Gordon Ramsey waxing poetic about these pans (he calls them “the Rolls-Royce of pans.”) And after we put this cookware to the test, we can confirm that these pots and pans are some of the best out there. That being said, they aren’t exactly cheap. Well, we have good news: This Labor Day, Hexclad is running a major sale on its cookware bundles and the one we think you should pick up? The Back to School Bundle. It not only offers a major bang for your buck, but it also comes with one of our favorite skillets.
What Is the Hexclad Back to School Bundle?
Before we get into the bundle, a little bit more on Hexclad. You’re probably wondering: “What makes this cookware such a standout?” Simple: It’s the definition of hybrid ingenuity. Each piece of cookware combines elements of stainless steel, cast-iron, and nonstick cookware. Its “triply” design features three layers: magnetic stainless steel, aluminum, and more stainless steel. The interior of each piece of cookware contains tiny hexagons, which in turn contain peaks and valleys. The peaks are made of stainless steel, and the valleys are made of a nonstick coating that’s infused with diamond dust. (According to Hexclad, these peaks and valleys make the cookware incredibly durable, provide even heat distribution, and create a good sear.) But the best feature? It’s all oven- and induction-safe, nonstick, easy to clean, dishwasher-safe, and doesn’t scratch. How’s that for a showstopper?
So, of all the bundles available this Labor Day, why should you pick up the Back to School Bundle? First of all, this set is perfect for anyone just beginning their affair with Hexclad. It comes with three must-have items: the 12-inch Hybrid Fry Pan (with a lid), the 2-quart Hybrid Saucepan (with a lid), and, exclusively for Labor Day, the 8″ Damascus Steel Chef’s Knife. With these three essentials in hand, you’ll get a perfect look at what the brand has to offer and be able to outfit your kitchen with some true essentials. And as mentioned above, the Hybrid Fry Pan is one of our personal favorites.
The Kitchn’s social media manager, Andrea, is “smitten” with the 12-inch Hybrid Fry Pan, sharing, “I can say this pan lives up to the hype. I’ve used it to sear meat, cook pasta, make a roux, cook eggs, and more. I never have to worry about anything sticking to the surface, and handwashing takes just 30 seconds because it really is nonstick. What I love the most is that I can get a good sear on proteins without worrying about damaging the nonstick coating, because this pan is built to take some serious heat.”
Interested in picking up this set? You can currently get the Back to School Bundle for just $259. While definitely an investment, at a regular price of $444, you’ll get to enjoy savings of 42%, making it one of the best deals we’ve come across on Hexclad in quite a while. After all, at the end of the day, we all deserve to have “the Rolls-Royce” of pots and pans at our disposal, right? It’s just a bit sweeter with savings on top of it.
