How do I season my cookware?

As with most fine cookware, HexClad cookware should be seasoned before the first use or after a deep clean. You do not need to season your pans before every use. To season your pans properly:

1. Heat your pan on medium-low
2. Spread 1 teaspoon of Vegetable, Avocado, or Olive Oil around the interior of the pan
3. Leave your pan on medium heat for 2-4 minutes

If you are ready to cook, feel free to use the pan right away. If you are not ready to cook, please let the pan and oil cool down before washing it out with warm soapy water. 

Over the first few weeks of use, your HexClad Hybrid cookware will perform better and better as it re-seasons itself on its own from the fats in the food you are cooking.

LOW HEAT is key! Our technology allows our cookware to heat up much faster and distribute heat much more evenly than most cookware. Sticking almost always occurs when the heat is too high. We recommend cooking things like eggs on medium-low. Keep in mind, our pans do require a little bit of oil since they are hybrid pans.
