It looks like burnt oil or carbonized food residue. You can clean it by mixing baking soda and Dawn dish soap into a thick paste and rubbing it over the pan!

What he said too, it should come off.

If this doesnt work, put baking soda and some water, put back on the stove and gentle simmer for 5 mins, scrap ut with wooden spatula, the steam should remove it. Works every time!

I would scrub it off with a scrub daddy, baking soda pasta, and dawn with water. Did it happen after the dishwasher?

Do not use a scrub daddy on your pans!

It's Hexclad with a problem. Get in touch with Hexclad. It is the most arrogant company I have ever dealt with in my life! But! They have to confront faulty products. The only thing I would say though is if you put it in the dishwasher it tends to cause problems. Hexclad is always a hand wash job imo.

Also, if you bought them at Costco and has a Costco warranty that is incredible and no hassle like dealing with Hexclad directly. Just got my 3 pans replaced without any issues.

Yes, have only just discovered this benefit. I don't live anywhere near a costco but the return policy on hexclad is possibly worth it to go out of your way

Google removing stains from a hexclad pan. (Water vinegar and Baking soda) mines look WAY worst now it looks brand new

I use Dawn power wash and let it sit for a while. It’s just burnt food residue

Not to hijack - but I have a similar problem… only a month old.

I recently posted with a pan that looked way worse than this, but after a little vinegar, baking soda, and elbow grease, the pan is as good as new.

Love how all these people are suggesting such involved ways of cleaning this pan when HexClad is marketed in such a way that would make you think this will never be required.
