35 cm HexClad Wok with Lid | High End Cooking Wok | Hybrid Cookware

I cook lots of veggie dishes and the mess of the overflow left my stove a mess, so the size of this pan is a huge help. I’m happy with the quality and the ease of cleanup.Update: I’ve now had the opportunity to do much more cooking in my 14” hybrid wok. I LOVE this pan as much as I love my husband. Nah. Maybe more LOL. Just kidding honey. It continues to do exactly what I need it to do. I was skeptical about it being a pan that could be seasoned but honestly it does. I still add oil when cooking and the clean up is till a breeze. I don’t fry food often but I’ll be trying that out next time I do. Thank you HexClad. This pan was a real problem solver. Great size and quick cleanup. Maybe you can elaborate on the virtues of the cover because it is enormous. I will say ... MoreI cook lots of veggie dishes and the mess of the overflow left my stove a mess, so the size of this pan is a huge help.

I’m guessing it is because the dome is so high.

I HAD to see if it lived up to the hype

After seeing the hype I decided to research and find the hexclad piece that felt like the most bang for my buck. This inbred wok did not disappoint, in any way! It’s light, but sturdy and well constructed. It heats quickly and evenly, but cools for cleaning and handling remarkably quickly. And I’m able to achieve a beautiful sear that’s hard to match on any of my other cookware. This wok was worth every penny and has me already planning my next-clad!

Manufacturing flaw and Hexclad refused to admit

The center part of the wok has non-uniform pattern and lacks the silver "hex" shape dots elsewhere has, fresh out of the box. I contacted Hexclad multiple times trying to get a replacement and they claimed it is normal and it" It appears there is some food grade oil remaining on your wok. We recommend washing it with Bar Keeper's Friend and an SOS steel wool pad as this should fix the issue. "" This is not a defect. We use food grade oil as a part of our polishing process. We recommend washing it with Bar Keeper's Friend and an SOS steel wool pad as this should fix the issue."This is an expensive wok and Hexclad asks customers to perform such special treatment to just clean its manufacturing residual?I followed their instruction and tried.

Not meant for medium-high to high heat cooking. What's the point of having a wok.

I have now used the Wok 4 times within the last 10 days on an induction range. I followed the seasoning procedure according to the instructions. I also used low to medium heat as instructed for the first 3 times. On the 4th time, I cooked lamb burgers at 375 degrees and when done, there was quite a bit of residual that required serious scrubbing with the rough side of a blue sponge. I was a bit disappointed considering the cost and hype about the pan. I do use a steel wok which requires the use of oil, but it performs well over high heat. In my opinion, a wok should be capable of handling high heat, and I'm afraid the Hexclad Wok will require the use of oil, just like any other much cheaper steel wok when cooking over high heat.

Sophisticated and Versatile

The term hybrid applies both to the stainless/nonstick surface, and to the shape and proportions of this cooking vessel. Although it's too shallow to qualify as a traditional wok, it serves pretty well in that role if you have to make do with an induction cooktop. Obviously, you can't flambé the food as you can with a giant gas burner, but for all the other stir-fry techniques, you can make it work. For modern, reduced-fat, fusion cooking, it's really pretty good. With the tight-fitting lid, it works very well for steaming. The combination of steel and glass in the lid makes it click and pop periodically, as the two materials expand and contact at different rates as they heat and cool. It's annoying, and sometimes quite loud, like a kernel of popcorn popping and ... MoreThe term hybrid applies both to the stainless/nonstick surface, and to the shape and proportions of this cooking vessel.

It's annoying, and sometimes quite loud, like a kernel of popcorn popping and hitting the lid. The pan itself is first-rate, though. It's quite efficient for browning and braising a big batch of beef for goulash, and sears a ribeye steak perfectly. It's a wonderful, versatile addition to my kitchen.

Take your cooking to the professional level!

I researched HexClad inside and out. These pans are not cheap and they are worth every penny. Follow the directions on how to use the pans and you will not be disappointed! Wash, season (heat and add a small amount of oil, cook, cool and clean) I watched a bunch of video's some of the worlds best chefs liked them and some did not. One of the chefs said if you don't over cook scrambled eggs and dry them out the eggs will stick, this is not true at all. The chef that had problems with making scrambled eggs put his approval on another brand he just happened to have on hand for a side by side comparison, I found that a little suspicious. When I season a pan prior to using I put a drop of oil in the pan and once its hot I use a paper towel and wipe the oil out so its not ... MoreI researched HexClad inside and out.

When I season a pan prior to using I put a drop of oil in the pan and once its hot I use a paper towel and wipe the oil out so its not visible in the pan. I do use a little extra grape, peanut or olive oil in the Wok because it's required in my Chinese food recipes. I have no problems with sticking food or cleaning the pans, the one place that has proven tough to clean is the stainless parts of the pan not covered with HexClad. I purchased the 6 PC pan set and 14" Wok with a lid.

The black coating gradually removed from my 4th time of cooking.

I received this wok on 12/13/2023. I only used it 4 times. The 4th time, I tried to clean the bottom of the wok due to there were some over-burned food stick at the bottom. I then found there were some white color showed up at the bottom. The more I tried to remove the white stuff, the more I realized it was the black coating gradually removed from the work. How could the black coating easily to be removed from the normal cooking? I need to either get a refund or get a replacement. Please check my shipping, I only got this wok on 12/13/2023. It was only less than 3 weeks ago.

Wok lid a lemon?

My husband purchased this wok for me as a gift. I absolutely love the wok itself but was highly disappointed in the lid. I'm hoping that the warranty will cover it, because I believe the lid we got was defective. I've only used the lid once or twice, even though we've had it for several months now, because both times we used it, it made strange popping sounds. Then I later discovered that the lip of the lid that fits down into the wok had split and spread in multiple random places. Now it is difficult even to get the lid to fit back on the wok. I've never heard of this happening. I'm not sure what the deal is - it was very strange and unexpected. The lid to the Hexclad 10-quart stock pot my husband also gifted me has had no problems, but it's a totally different ... MoreMy husband purchased this wok for me as a gift.

Would love to get a replacement lid so that I could see if that's the case.

[Rewarded Review] Great Wok. Stands up to the Manufacturer's claims

I must admit that I was very skeptical of the claims made by the manufacturer. However, we found this wok to be top quality and stood up to all the claims made about it. My wife stir fried some green beans in it first, and she loved it. I decided to try it to make my scrambled egg "mess". I used a metal spoon just because they said you could. First, I fried up some vegetables, hash browns, bacon, and ham. Then I added eggs. When the eggs were done, I added the cheese and turned the heat off. Eggs and cheese usually make for a tough clean up. That was not the case. Although, I did use steel wool to test the manufacturer's claims, I didn't need to. Clean up was very easy and the steel wool didn't bother a bit, as the metal spoon didn't seem to bother it, either. We ... MoreI must admit that I was very skeptical of the claims made by the manufacturer. However, we found this wok to be top quality and stood up to all the claims made about it.

[Rewarded Review] Pan is good! Shipping and what I got not so much.

I ordered 3 of this same pans for family for Christmas. It was shipped right to their addresses. One received it in a Hexclad box. Inside was this gray type bag which had the pan and the instructions. One received just the bag and the pan plus half the instructions. Yes I said that just the bag No box. Sent from California across the Country to Indiana. I am not sure if this was a return thats why there is no box. Or it was setting in their defective pan section. Oh but it gets even better. One family member received the pan in the gray bag. No Instructions No box nothing! Same thing was this a return or defective where is all the stuff that comes with this pan. You would think any company with putting so much into this pan saying its so great. Would actually take ... MoreI ordered 3 of this same pans for family for Christmas.

You would think any company with putting so much into this pan saying its so great. Would actually take care of their product and make sure their customers are happy. I have contacted Walmart they said they would contact Hexclad and I should hear something in two days. I went a step farther. I Emailed Hexclad themselves. Same response, I would hear something in two days. Well two days has come and gone. I am beyond MAD. You spend that kind of Money for what is supposed to be a great product. Then you end up with 2 out of 3 pans that your not sure the history behind it. I didnt order used pans. I paid for New! But yet I am not sure what I got, or should I say my family members got for Christmas! I have lots of questions, but no one is giving me any answers!
