Two dated sources name pans used by Gordon Ramsay: a 2021 MasterClass equipment guide names ScanPan, and a July 2021 HexClad partnership announcement quotes him saying that he uses HexClad pans at home.
These sources tell us what was said in 2021. They don’t establish every pan in Ramsay’s kitchen today or prove that either brand is his exclusive favorite.
What Do the Dated Sources Say?
ScanPan in the 2021 MasterClass Guide
In an equipment guide last updated on August 3, 2021, MasterClass says that Gordon uses nonstick pans made by ScanPan. The same entry says that a well-made pan with a solid, heavy base can also do the job.
The guide doesn’t identify a ScanPan collection or model. If you’re trying to buy the exact pan from that source, the brand name alone isn’t enough to identify it.
HexClad in the 2021 Partnership Announcement
HexClad announced Ramsay as its lead ambassador on July 29, 2021. In that announcement, he said that he used the pans at home.
This is a statement about his reported home use at that time, and it comes from a commercial partnership announcement. It isn’t an independent comparison of cookware or a list of everything he owns.
What About Mauviel, Viking, and All-Clad?
We also checked the claims about these three brands, but we couldn’t verify the specific personal-use claims below. That doesn’t mean Ramsay has never used them.
For Mauviel, we couldn’t verify the claim that its carbon-steel skillet is Ramsay’s preferred choice. Mauviel’s FAQ also distinguishes M’Heritage copper cookware with a stainless-steel lining from M’Steel carbon steel.
For Viking, a company article dated August 9, 2018 discusses supplying The F Word and MasterChef in the context of its ranges. Its Professional 7 Series is a range, so that reference doesn’t verify a frying-pan model or Ramsay’s personal preference.
We couldn’t find primary evidence for the specific claim that Ramsay used All-Clad pans on Hell’s Kitchen. That claim remains unverified.
Check the Exact Pan Before You Buy or Use It
Even when a brand is documented, it doesn’t tell you which current pan to buy or how to care for one you already own. Check the model, product generation, coating, lid, and heat-source instructions.
For example, HexClad’s FAQ describes an aluminum core between steel layers, with magnetic stainless steel on the outside. It also warns that sharp utensils can scratch the surface.
HexClad’s current 12-inch pan page describes a TerraBond ceramic nonstick coating. Don’t assume that the coating or care instructions for a pan sold today are the same as those for an older one.
If a pan is approved for oven use, use oven mitts when moving it. Mauviel’s FAQ says that all handle materials get hot in the oven, even when a handle stays cool during stovetop cooking.
Check cleaning instructions too. All-Clad’s current stainless-steel comparison marks the listed collections as not dishwasher-safe, while ScanPan’s nonstick-care guide recommends handwashing its nonstick cookware. Follow the instructions for your particular pan rather than assuming that all pans from one brand need the same care.
The dated use statements above are from 2021; the product and care pages were checked on October 18, 2026. Manufacturer product descriptions are not our own product tests.
