HexClad is introducing high-heat nonstick bakeware with its first Hybrid Bakeware collection, extending the brand’s signature cooking technology from the stovetop to the oven. Developed over four years, the six-piece collection uses a new formulation of PFAS-free TerraBond ceramic nonstick designed to withstand temperatures up to 900°F. The bakeware is also metal-utensil and dishwasher safe, while its construction is engineered to distribute heat evenly and resist warping. The collection includes cake pans, a baking sheet and a stainless-steel cooling rack.
For HexClad, entering bakeware expands its premium kitchenware portfolio into another frequently used cooking category. Applying recognizable hybrid technology to ovenware can encourage existing cookware customers to purchase across categories while reinforcing the brand’s performance-focused positioning. Offering both individual pieces and complete sets also gives HexClad multiple price points for attracting home cooks seeking durable alternatives to conventional nonstick bakeware.
