New hybrid cookware pairs stainless steel searing with titanium-reinforced ceramic nonstick performance, independently certified PFAS-free by TÜV Rheinland – without the premium markup
TORONTO, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ProClad today announced the launch of ProClad Hybrid 2.0 Pan, a hybrid nonstick pan that combines the searing performance of stainless steel with the easy food release and cleanup of nonstick cookware. Designed for everyday home cooks, the pan uses a 3-ply clad stainless steel body and proprietary TitaniumShield™ cooking surface to deliver fast, even heating and high-heat cooking performance while protecting the nonstick surface from scraping and wear common with traditional alternatives. The result is a versatile pan engineered to handle everything from delicate eggs and vegetables to perfectly seared, oven-finished steaks.
"After 26 years of manufacturing cookware, we've learned where pans perform and where they fall short," said Peng Lin, CEO of DKK Brands. "With ProClad, we had the opportunity to put that experience behind our own brand and rethink hybrid cookware around what actually matters to home cooks: strong searing performance, easy food release, thoughtful durability and a premium product without the premium markup."
At the center of the ProClad Hybrid 2.0 Pan is TitaniumShield™, ProClad's next-generation hybrid cookware technology. It combines two layers of titanium-reinforced ceramic nonstick with raised stainless steel ridges that protect the recessed cooking surface from direct utensil contact. Unlike traditional nonstick cookware that can wear down over time, this hybrid construction is engineered to deliver long-lasting durability, even heat distribution and reliable food release under the demands of everyday cooking.
Key Features & Benefits
Sear, brown and cook with confidence: 3-ply clad construction with a 3 mm aluminum core delivers fast, even heating for consistent browning, searing and temperature control. Go from vegetables to high-heat proteins, searing, simmering and oven finishing without switching cookware.
Next-generation hybrid nonstick performance: TitaniumShield™, a two-layer titanium-reinforced ceramic nonstick system protected beneath raised stainless steel ridges, provides easy food release and cleanup while protecting the surface from scraping and wear from direct utensil contact, including metal utensils.
Built to perform for years, not months: Durable clad construction, fully riveted stainless steel handles and sealed rims that protect the aluminum core from exposure and corrosion are designed to withstand the demands of everyday cooking.
Go from stovetop to seriously high heat: Oven safe up to 900°F and built with a magnetic stainless steel base, ProClad works securely across gas, electric, and glass cooktops for greater cooking versatility.
Control with confidence: A balanced, flat-grip handle is designed to resist the rotating and slipping that can happen with rounded handles, providing greater stability when lifting, tilting, pouring or flipping.
Cook with peace of mind: The cooking surface is independently certified by TÜV Rheinland to be free from PFAS, including PFOA, PFOS and PTFE.
Performance with personality: ProClad launches in Slate, with Cream and Terracotta exterior finishes coming soon, bringing a more considered design aesthetic to an everyday kitchen essential.
Glass lids made to fit: Secure-fitting glass lids support everything from steaming and braising to simmering and finishing while allowing cooks to monitor food without lifting the lid.
Buy with confidence: ProClad is backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and a 100-day satisfaction guarantee.
ProClad Hybrid 2.0 is available in 8-, 10- and 12-inch pans starting at $109, with lidded options starting at $119. The 4-piece and 6-piece sets are available for $239 and $319, respectively, and a wok with lid can be purchased for $159. Visit www.Pro-Clad.com for more info.
