If I didn’t already own half the HexClad lineup, I’d be jumping on this Labor Day deal. There's 42% off the Kitchen Refresh HexClad Set, and the value is honestly hard to overstate.
I’ve tested a lot of cookware over the years, but my HexClad set is one of the few brands I keep coming back to. I only use the best non-toxic cookware, so I appreciate that their hybrid design is PFAS-free – and as a trained cook, I take comfort knowing Gordon Ramsay backs them too.
If your non-stick pans are starting to peel, or September's 'back-to-school' energy has you craving healthier eating routines, this HexClad set is one of the best Labor Day deals I've seen – it's basically a full kitchen refresh in one box.
There is so much included in this HexClad set, you'll need to clear some cupboard space. You’ll get three of the best HexClad fry pans (the link goes to my review) and three different size saucepans for side dishes or soups, all with lids.
Next up: a deep sauté pan for one-pot dinners, curries, and pastas, the HexClad Hybrid wok I rated 4.5 stars for weeknight stir-fries, and a griddle pan for pancakes, veggies, or smash burgers. Finally, HexClad's trio of stainless steel mixing bowls with airtight lids (my personal favorite – non-toxic, no plastic leaching, and surprisingly stylish) and the chef’s knife that makes light work of slicing fruit or chopping veg.
I've counted, and the Kitchen Refresh HexClad set includes 11 complete pieces for $999, which breaks down to around $90 per piece. Compared to replacing each pan or pot individually (not to mention quality knives and mixing bowls), this deal adds up.
Personally, I've collected my own small HexClad set with the famous HexClad fry pan, wok, medium saucepan, and the HexClad knife set (which I recently reviewed).
I like that the brand uses proprietary TerraBond™ ceramic nonstick, which is PFAS-free. That means no 'forever chemicals' and no worrying about toxic coatings flaking away. I have some steel tongs and metal fish spatulas that I can use on these pans without worrying about scratching the durable surface.
There's no compromise on performance either. I've found that the hybrid stainless steel and ceramic surface gives you the best of both worlds: the golden sear of stainless with the easy cleanup of the best non-stick cookware.
Make your own HexClad set in the sales
If you’re new to HexClad and don’t want to invest in a full set, you can still pick up the brand’s standout pieces during the sale. Individual items are currently 15% off. Here's what I recommend.
In my testing, I cooked perfect eggs, halloumi, and sticky tofu with minimal oil with this pan, and everything slid right off effortlessly. This 8-inch size is best for individual portions.
I've tested tons of knives from the most premium brands, but now I've got used to the control, balance, and sheer sharpness of this HexClad chef knife set, it’s hard to reach for anything else.
I absolutely love Asian cuisine, but hate cleaning sticky sauces and stuck-on rice and noodles. I only use this HexClad wok now; it sizzles and stir-fries without sticking, and it cleans in seconds. I use it most weeknights.
In my experience, HexClad really lives up to the hype, but a few tips can help you get the most from your investment. Each pan should be seasoned before use by warming it on medium-low heat and spreading a teaspoon of oil across the surface for 2–3 minutes. Over time, the cookware naturally re-seasons as you cook, enhancing its performance.
