Score more than 40% off on the cookware Gordon Ramsay calls 'utter perfection' with HexClad Presidents' Day Sale
Need a kitchenware overhaul? These pots and pans combine the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick.
If there are scratches on the surface of your cookware and your knives are dinged, it is time for a refresh. When you do decide to plunk down your hard-earned dollars, it's a safe bet to choose items endorsed by one of the most demanding chefs we know — Gordon Ramsay! The celebrity chef recommends HexClad, which he says "cooks to absolute, utter perfection." And lucky for us, the brand is offering more than 40% off nonstick sets and knife sets as part of its Big Game Sale ahead of Presidents' Day.
The pans' hybrid construction borrows from stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, "is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well." Aluminum is sandwiched between stainless steel, making for expert heat conduction and even distribution, and the nonstick interiors make it a breeze to clean. Bonus: the signature hexagonal etching helps encourage browning.
Read on to learn more about some of HexClad's greatest hits including more ways to (bundle and) save. We also found a pot on sale at Amazon for those who just want to add a little something to their collection (and more Presidents' Day deals are right this way).

"Love, love, love it!" exclaimed a five-star shopper. "Very aesthetically pleasing, even cooking and easy to clean. I've made caramel, forgot soup was cooking ... and the cleanup was so easy. ... This product is such great quality."
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. It includes an 8-inch chef’s knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 5-inch utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, 8-inch serrated bread knife and 9-inch honing steel to keep things sharp, along with a beautiful magnetic walnut block to display everything on.
"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."

"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!"
