    Stainless Clad

    The Made In brand is a forerunner in the direct-to-consumer cookware movement, in which the products are sold directly from the company’s website and aren’t available in retail stores. To design their wares, the founders worked with professional chefs such as Tom Colicchio and Nancy Silverton, who use the cookware in their own restaurants, so you know the pans can stand up to punishment. But does the cookware measure up in our rigorous tests? In a word, yes. Cleanup was a breeze, and as with the other stainless steel models we tested, this 10-inch frying pan cooked evenly. And you can use it on any range or cooktop, including induction. While this pan is far from being the most expensive in our ratings, we’ve also seen stainless steel options that perform just as well but cost less.

    Detailed Test Results

    • Cooking evenness: This model was excellent for cooking evenness across the entire cooking surface. We expect all cookware in this set to perform similarly for this and other food.
    • Food release: This model was very good in releasing multiple eggs from the frypan. Four eggs are cooked in the frypan consecutively. The pan is initially seasoned with vegetable oil prior to cooking the first egg. An Excellent score indicates that all four eggs slid off the pan without assistance; A Poor score indicates that scraping was needed to release any egg from the pan and some egg residue was left on the pan.
    • Handle temperature: This set's handles were excellent at keeping temperatures low enough to touch without a potholder when used on the stovetop. You'll definitely need a potholder for sets scoring Fair or Poor. We also consider the size and shape of the handle when scoring.
    • Handle sturdiness: This set scored very good for handle sturdiness, which gauges its resistance to bending or breaking under increasing force.
