When I gave my dad a mini HexClad pan for his birthday earlier this year, I didn't quite expect him to love it so much. I've had texts and calls praising the ease of cleaning, describing it as the 'best non-stick pan he's ever used.' His old pan is in the garbage. He makes fried eggs in the HexClad every morning.
I just have one regret. I could have saved money by buying the version without the lid, which is discounted by 20% on Amazon in the last day of the sale. I completely fell for the bundle I saw, and I didn't think about what he'd be using the pan for. The truth is, unless you're simmering or steaming dishes, you don't really need a lid. The best HexClad frying pans are quite shallow, so they really work best for searing and sizzling anyway.
