Not sure of where to look? In the words of Gordon Ramsay, "Don't get your knickers in a twist!" The celebrity chef is a fan of HexClad, the brand behind the cookware he says "cooks to absolute, utter perfection." As if a celeb endorsement wasn't enough, the HexClad Black Friday Sale is already in full swing, with discounts of up to 40% on nonstick cookware sets and kitchen tools.

What sets these pans apart is their hybrid construction, which combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, "is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well." They're made of aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel for expert heat conduction and distribution, and their nonstick interiors make them a breeze to clean. Plus, the signature hexagonal etching helps encourage browning. So, what are you waiting for? Let's get cookin'!

With this starter set, you'll get the 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch Hybrid pans, plus lids for each. 

"Best pans ever," raved a reviewer. "Sauté game has been elevated to a new echelon: I've never caramelized onions so perfectly and so quickly (always had to slowly sweat them down for 45 minutes). Sirloin came out perfectly medium-rare and ideally seared — first try! Eggs don't stick! Wow, these pans do all the things!"

(Psst: This set made it onto our list of the best cookware sets of 2024.)

Do you enjoy cooking for a crowd? This mega set includes 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch Hybrid pans, plus 2-quart, 3-quart and 8-quart Hybrid pots and lids for all. 

"This is the best set of cookware out there," gushed a fan. "I bought these two years ago and they still look brand new. We use them every day and they are a five-star quality set. No sticking, no scratches and they heat up evenly across the pan. Cleanup is a breeze. My next purchase will be the knife set. Great job, HexClad!"

Not only will this stunning knife set elevate the look of your kitchen, it'll also make chopping vegetables a joy, thanks to the 67 layers of Damascus steel making up the blades. You'll get an 8-inch chef's knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, a 5-inch utility knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, an 8-inch serrated bread knife and a 9-inch honing steel to keep things sharp, along with a beautiful magnetic walnut block. 

"I’ve had a lot of knives," shared an impressed slicer. "This set is by far the nicest-looking and easiest to cut. No pressure on the knife and it cuts. You don't even have to try. I cut a potato and ran to everyone in the house who has cut a potato before and made them try it. It was so easy, the knife basically cuts by itself. Best set … plan on adding more."

"I love that they have a bottom on them so I don't have salt and pepper crumbs on my countertop!" wrote a customer. "I also love that I can grind salt and pepper into the bottom and easily scoop out the amount I need with a measuring spoon. They look nice too."
