What the Cooking Surface Is
A tri-ply pan, meaning stainless steel layers around an aluminum core, with a laser-etched pattern of raised stainless steel hexagons. The low areas between the hexagons hold TerraBond, HexClad's ceramic nonstick coating.
Earlier HexClad Hybrid pans used a PTFE coating, so check which version you have.
What the Brand Says About PFAS
HexClad says its TerraBond ceramic nonstick coating is "PFAS-free" and "free from PTFE and forever chemicals."
Published Test Results
HexClad's product page shows PFAS results it says were verified by a third-party lab, covering PTFE, PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFBS, and other PFAS, all below detection limits.
The page does not name the lab, give a test date, or say which pan sizes were tested.
Heat and Care
HexClad states the pan is oven-safe up to 900 °F (482 °C), and that it can be used with metal utensils and washed in the dishwasher.
