Quick Answer

Clean your HexClad Hybrid Oval Roasting Pan after each use by hand or in the dishwasher, avoid abrasive tools, and store it with care to preserve the nonstick surface.

Why Proper Care Matters for Your Hybrid Surface

The HexClad Hybrid surface combines stainless steel with a nonstick coating, giving you the best of both worlds: superior searing and easy food release. But that coating needs gentle treatment to stay effective. Harsh scrubbing, high heat without oil, or stacking heavy pans on top can degrade the nonstick layer over time.

This oval roasting pan is designed for oven-to-table use, so it will see everything from roasted meats to baked feta and fruit crumbles. With the right care routine, you can keep it looking great and performing well for years.

Step-by-Step Cleaning and Care Routine

  1. Let the Pan Cool Completely: After cooking, allow the roasting pan to cool on the stovetop or a trivet until it is warm to the touch, not hot. Placing a hot pan under cold water can warp the metal or damage the nonstick surface. Always cool the pan before washing to prevent thermal shock.
  2. Hand Wash with Mild Soap and a Soft Sponge: For best results, wash the pan with warm water, a few drops of mild dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth. Avoid steel wool, metal scouring pads, or harsh cleaners, as they can scratch the hybrid surface. Stubborn food residue can be loosened by soaking the pan in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes before scrubbing.
  3. Use the Dishwasher for Convenience: The pan is dishwasher safe, so you can place it on the top rack for a thorough clean. However, frequent dishwasher cycles may gradually reduce the nonstick performance compared to hand washing. If you use the dishwasher, remove the pan promptly after the cycle to prevent water spots or mineral deposits.
  4. Dry Thoroughly Before Storing: After washing, dry the pan completely with a soft towel or let it air dry upside down. Any leftover moisture can lead to water spots or, over time, minor corrosion on the stainless steel exterior. Stack the pan with a soft cloth or paper towel between it and other cookware to protect the nonstick surface from scratches.
  5. Store in a Dry, Protected Place: Keep the roasting pan in a cabinet or on a shelf where it won't be knocked around. Avoid stacking heavy pots directly on top of it. If you must nest it, place a protective liner or cloth between pans. Hanging the pan on a wall rack is a great space-saving option that also prevents accidental scratches.
