HexClad 13-piece cookware set
Non-stick cookware is fairly reliable when it comes to quick cooking tasks like frying eggs and flipping pancakes. But if your dad does any serious cooking that involves complicated techniques like sauteeing and flambe, he's going to need a sturdier set of cookware. HexClad packs the reliability of a non-stick pan, with the versatility of stainless steel, and the raw heat dispersion of cast iron.
The naturally non-stick HexClad set is far more versatile than any other pan in its class. It's less non-stick than regular pans, but with a few drops of oil or butter, it can fry eggs and pancakes just as well as any Teflon pan. HexClad sets itself apart by how well it handles the heat. These pans heat up quickly and evenly, with temperatures built for stir-frying, deep frying, or even searing. Whether dad is browning pork chops or searing a filet mignon, HexClad can dish out whatever cooking task you throw at it. Unlike other non-stick pans, your dad doesn't have to worry about scratching the surface of these pans with metal utensils. HexClad is built differently, built better. In our rigorous testing, it browned chicken thighs to golden perfection better than any other cookware set in its class. And despite all the extra heat dispensation, clean-up was just as easy as if we used a typical non-stick pan. Tasks big and small can be cleaned up with a simple wipe with a paper towel.
Even when these pots and pans heat up, the handles on the cookware is designed to stay cool. It works on cooking surfaces including induction, and is even oven safe. This 13-piece set comes with three different-sized frying pans, two saucepans, one big pot, a wok and even lids to match. The HexClad 13-piece set usually goes for just under $1,000 but you can nab this gorgeous set for only $700 for a limited time.
