Hybrid cookware

Hybrid pans such as HexClad and Anolon X set stainless steel into a nonstick coating. Follow the coating's care rules, not just the steel's.

Read how your pan is made

Two makers here sell hybrid pans, and they are built differently. HexClad’s TerraBond pans put raised stainless steel hexagons over a ceramic nonstick. Anolon X lays a stainless steel mesh into the nonstick of an aluminum pan with a thick stainless steel base, and Anolon’s disclosure page lists the X line among its fluoropolymer nonstick lines, with intentionally added PFAS.

The limits differ too: HexClad rates its pans to 900°F and its glass lids to 400°F; Anolon rates X pans to 500°F and gives no separate figure for the lids that come with them. Both makers allow metal utensils and the dishwasher. Don't carry an oven limit over from an older coating generation; read the surface, care and lid limits for the pan you own.

The table compares how each is made, which stoves it works on and how to wash it.

Questions before you choose

Do hybrid pans work on induction?

HexClad and Anolon both say theirs do: each has stainless steel on the bottom, which induction picks up. Check that the flat base is big enough for your cooking zone.
