HexClad’s hybrid cookware has earned a reputation for its distinctive hexagonal pattern. The 18-inch Double Burner Griddle applies that same laser-etched technology to a large, flat cooking surface. It combines raised stainless steel ridges for searing with a ceramic nonstick coating in the valleys for easy food release. This design aims to solve the classic griddle dilemma: getting a good sear without everything sticking.

The oversized surface efficiently covers two burners, turning a standard stove into a short-order station. You can cook a full breakfast or a dozen sliders at once. The aluminum core heats quickly and evenly, while the cast iron base provides stability. It’s oven-safe up to 900°F and works on every stovetop type, including induction. Cleanup is straightforward—it’s dishwasher-safe, though a quick wipe often suffices.

For tougher, baked-on messes, the manufacturer explicitly advises using an abrasive sponge or steel wool. This is a practical nod to the durability of the hybrid surface, but it’s a stark contrast to the babying most nonstick requires. The handles do stay relatively cool, but using oven mitts for extended cooking or a hot oven transfer is still a smart move.
