Just got made ins 10 piece set for Christmas and we love them so far. Had a bad experience with my first egg cook on stainless years ago and swore them off. Of course I didn’t let it heat up enough and things stuck everywhere. Know better now and these cook like a dream.
I use all clad Copper core and I really enjoy them, and they look amazing. I did buy a 12 qt stockpot from made in and it is a excellent piece and I’m very impressed with it. It almost makes me wish I would have chose made In instead of all clad, almost. With that being said as far as quality and affordability I’d say made in is very hard to beat, and if I ever need any new pieces for my collection I will definitely consider and likely choose made in.
Bubbles are formed in nucleation sites. Uniform bubbling is very likely to be the result of uniformly polished surface, which is not a surprise when the pans are brand new.
You helped me make my choice, and I received my first made-in-pan today. I can't believe I nailed the cooking technique on my first attempt! I went big with my initial dish-I made breaded pork chops along with a mushroom and onion sauce. Nothing stuck or burned. After washing the skillet, I noticed it has sharp edges and dents on one side, so I'm going to exchange it. Other than that, I love it and have already ordered additional sizes.
Thank you for the review. My stainless is primarily Hestan, with a couple of All Clad pieces. I am looking for a rondeau and have been considering between the Hestan and the Made In, and after this, I may just give the Made In a go. Appreciate all of the technicals on your review.
Thanks for the unbiased review! I, too, bought my Made In Cookware more than three years ago, after seeing a favorable comparison to All Clad. We were/are on an anti-PTFE kick and wanted quality cookware not made in China. I love the stainless steel set (the rivet issue is a minor one for me, as I’m not bothered by a little buildup) but have never warmed up to their blue carbon steel pan. I just can’t get the hang of cooking with it and have never been able to get it to season properly. Would love your opinion on that product. I’ve always thought my cooking technique was the problem, but I’d love your thoughts.
In the next week or so I’ll be posting a video about seasoning cast iron and the process in that video applies to carbon steel too. I think that will help you out. Stay tuned!
I have an All Clad 12" and paid only $75 for it because of a $50 discount for getting an Amazon credit card. I have had it for 5 years and it is perfect. All Clad is considerable more expensive for stock pots and sauce pans, but their 12" frying pan is reaonable. I would also recomment Tramontina for other try ply cookware, as their sauce pans and stock pots are considerable cheaper than All Clad but perform just as well.
Okay, personally, I still prefer my All Clad D5 pieces. I think they are somewhat more forgiving when it comes to heating certain trickier foods although may be slightly less responsive (by design) to immediate temperature changes than the D3 or Made In pans. I feel like D5 requires slightly less supervision and I also prefer the polished stainless look. That said, that is being extremely nit-picky they are all excellent pans. I will say, price wise only certain types of pans are significantly cheaper from Made In - the price difference is not as wide as you may think. I do have the Made In Dutch Oven which I am VERY happy with. I nearly bought a Staub instead but am happy I saved the money. It is a truly excellent Dutch Oven that offers a nice blend of features. I have heard mixed things about Made In’s carbon steel pans (mostly with the seasoning process) although I’m definitely interested in giving them a try.
This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They advertise their pan to be non stick and I bought it in good faith. When I received it the pamplet says that it is not non stick and has to be sized like an iron skillet. I have sent numerous emails and calls with the only response to fill out a return at my expense. This was false advertising. and I feel they should have to pay for the return and refund my money. When calling many times they say they will give a recall within an hour, now three days later and many calls I have had no response. Only auto generated responses to my many attempts to contact customer service, have I received in 8 days since receiving the Carbon steel pan. They are the worst company I have ever dealt with and I plan to post a review everywhere I can, including the BBB in hopes others don't get taken by this bad, bad company. You should buy anything except Made In if hyou want to be happy with your purchase and the company you bought it from
If you’re watching this video and looking to get some good cookware like All clad and MadeIn, please sign up for his newsletter. I did and brought a lot of All clad cookware on sale. I just started my collection but I have like 7 pots and frying pans already.
Thank you for your reviews. Bought 12 inch Made in, based on you recommendation. Like the handle. Don't like the flared rims. After 3 uses on the ceramic top on wide ring on the heat set to 6 the bottom went out of flat.
Thank you for pointing out the angle of the handle. I won't want to need to use a brush to clean that little nook. I already own all clad, and find it easy to clean. I just wish all clad offered some made in options like the 3 quart saucier.
Love my 12" fry pan bought 6 months ago, the only real annoyance is that little spot that you have to clean with a toothbrush. Other than that, easily the best pan I own.
@@wingolden it's more of an issue of access. At least on the 12" there isn't even really enough space between the lip of the pan and the top of handle to get anything much in to agitate whatever cleaning product you use, it's what you'd call in the trade a "crap trap" I guess... Lol
@@jfinnie78 true, I hv to use a scouring pad which is wrapped on a thin surface with a handle to scrub that very hidden spot. The brushes are for cleaning the area around faucets cleavage etc.
Love my Made In cookware!! My only con is that they don’t offer handle slip pot holders for their fry pans, have to use a giant pot holder to get out of oven and keep on not to get burned.
Twelve years ago I bought Marcus Samuelson stainless cookware by Regal, made in Wisconsin. Evidently it didn't sell well, but I found the quality outstanding. I purchased two 12 piece sets, two strainers and four larger pots for a grand total of $600. They're still like new despite all the use we get out of them.
I always enjoy your videos. This was very helpful. I almost bought some Made In pans, but opted for the All-Clad instead. I hate the handles on the All-Clad,. The Made In handles look much better. For future pans, I will probably go for a Made In pan.
I'm headed to William Sonoma to return my all clad saucepans because the handles are horrible. It's a shame but I don't see myself going back to all clad because of their handles. It's a deal breaker.
My made in 10” frying pan is slightly concave ( or convex depending where you’re viewing from) and not flat on bottom, so cooking oil is gathered to the periphery, rather than level. Does All Clad have the same problem?
@@PrudentReviews it’s not a big deal and I just work with it like swirling the oil around the pan before adding my food to fry and move their positions periodically during the frying process. Actually if you look at some forums/reviews online, they mentioned that too.
Made In cookware is inferior to All Clad on their craftsmanship. Recently I bought their 8-qt stock pot, but noticed the rivets that were used to attached the lid handle were of different sizes and shapes. When I contact Made In about their inferior quality control, they said I can return the product for a refund, less a restocking fee. I will never buy from them again, as they don’t back their own warranty.
I do like the brushed exterior 'look'. But cleaning it is another story. Even with Barkeeper's Friend, the exterior sidewalls & bottom don't clean anywhere near as well as the cooking surface. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I have this cookware set (stainless clad), it cooks well and they have good pan options except for a practice griddle (for pancakes/waffles). Only problem with it which is getting worse over time is the cookware stains easily and is a nightmare to clean, requires buying specific cleaning products (like their powder or BKF Powder) and even then after rigorous washing and cleaning/drying following insurrections the pans are still stained and this happened in two weeks from when I got them. The stainless clad should really be called stained clad because it absorbs everything like a blank canvas.
I have long been a fan of Tramontina cookware. But unfortunately the selection isn't as big as I would like at times. I'll take a look at Made In the next time I want a piece that I can't find in Tramontina.
Can anyone comment on their pro coat non stick pans? I find it strange that most brands say no ptfe no pfas no pfoa etc etc. yet made in only says fda approved for food contact. Reviews are great at various sources, but the light language on the material seems sketchy. Thoughts? Should I just go ceramic clad for non stick?
I could not wait to buy some of Made In's products after all the fabulous reviews, so I bought their "Unwarpable non-stick sheet pan". I used it once at 425degrees and it warped and bent and will not go back into shape. They offered to allow me to return it with a restocking fee. I have been waiting WEEKS for a manager to contact me back to get a full refund, (no stocking fee and my shipping refunded), for false advertising of their product. No one will respond to me. (I keep getting the "We will respond in 48 hours" email) This seems like a complete and total scam to me. I'm sorry but I don't trust any of these grand reviews not to be paid for.
@@kenyoung4881 I am sure I could have, but it wasn't worth my effort at the time. It just wasn't worth it for the price of the one pan. I figured it's better to put a review here to stop them getting money from someone else making the same mistake I made, than the time to get the credit with my bank.
Right now 10.5" All-Clad D3 Everyday and 10" Made In Stainless Clad Frying Pan are $99. Is either one a better buy? All-Clad is USA made and USA materials sourced and China for the handles. Made In is Italy made, but where are the materials sourced from?
Hi, do you have any recent information on where made in stainless steel pan is made? It seems like is no longer in Italy. The one I purchased from Amazon is made in USA? Which one has the better quality?
Can someone tell me what's the weight from the Clad Stainless Steel pan? i would love to buy one but Im from Costa Rica, so i need shipping, and i might consider buying it if the weight is a lot
There are pros and cons to each type. This video should help you. Cookware Materials 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Picking the Right Pans th-cam.com/video/NzNx_q9IpvI/w-d-xo.html
They are not necessarily cheaper than All clad. Because all clad is carried by so many stores, at any given moment you can find them on special, sometimes as low as half price. I own a mix of d5 and made in. I bought the d5 pieces on sale snd cheaper than the made in equivalents.
Just buy your cookware at a restaurant supply stores. Same places where restaurants buy their stuff. You know restaurant cooks/chefs abuse their cookwares (like toss it in the sink) so you know the cookwares are sturdy quality than the ones you mentioned. 🤙
I have a Made In saucier, a D3 saucepan and another D5 saucepan (bigger). The Made In feels a little thinner than the D3 material, with the D5 far thicker than both. I actually like the D3 handle that nobody likes, but I like the control you have when you are pouring. The rounder "more comfortable" handles never feel as locked it. The Made in its good for people who favor a lightweight set and a slightly darker finish. But if I usually steer people to the D3 everyday collection if they ask, just cause it ends up a little less expensive and like you mentioned I like the shape of pan walls, less shallow, and the bottom area is even wider for the same size diameter (normal D3 is only for people like me who like the handles lol). A few cosmetic things and nitpicks about the Made In. Brushed finish on the D3 seems brighter, at least on my pieces held side by side, and the polished all clads I think look better, but will make you crazy if you care about fingerprints. My made in is a little darker, almost nickel tinged instead of silvery. But my biggest beef with made in pans is when I got mine new, I washed it, but kept finding when I wiped it with a paper towel some residue was still left (this was the stainless steel not the carbon steel which is also a bear to prep for seasoning). I eventually had to hit it with some barkeepers friend, and a real thorough soak and rinse to get it to not have any more residue. I don't know what thats about.
I’ve had their 10” nonstick for about two years. It gets nearly daily use in our house on our Reagan-era electric coil stove, and cooks beautifully. Nice even heating, and, despite sometimes lackadaisical cleaning from one member of the family, easy to clean, too! Still looks practically brand new. We’re pretty careful to not scratch the surface, though, and we don’t put any of the made in pans in the dishwasher, even though they’re (mostly) dishwasher safe. I suspect that’s added to the longevity.
@@PrudentReviews just finished the review and it was very detailed and helpful! I plan on reading the Misen Vs. Made In next. One thing I would like to point out is Misen website says they have a lifetime warranty, so not sure if your review needs to be updated or I’m missing a detail.
I always enjoy your reviews, and I love the long term stuff! That said, I'll not be a Made In customer anytime soon (if ever). Their prices here in Canada are NOT any better than All Clad. $140 CAD for a 3/4 quart butter warmer?! [Insert expletive here] off.
People have been making gourmet food for centuries before the invention of the Clad Cookware. Copper is by far a better conductor and is generally preferred by Chef's where money is no object - they are expensive. However - today there are plenty of Brands of Clad cookware made in the USA and CHINA that are all generally pretty good. Spending huge amounts of money for the original brand is for the status conscious, but really makes no sense. Get a clad pan whose size fits your needs and is comfortable to handle for you. It is really personal preference there. Remember that you really do not need fully clad cookware for dishes that are cooked in Liquid - a stock pot with a Clad Disc on the bottom will work fine in that case and an Aluminum pot conducts heat even better. I suggest you comb the local flea markets for cookware - that you can clean back to life. With the exception of No-stick which are worthless - these pans are probably better than you will get today.
Made In stainless steel pans are not non-stick. But if you follow the tips in this video, you can minimize sticking: th-cam.com/video/p5XcN3AyITY/w-d-xo.html
Prices have increased due to supply chain issues but are still less than All-Clad. For example, the Made In 12-inch stainless fry pan is $119, and the All-Clad D3 stainless fry pan is $199.
@@PrudentReviewsCostco Canada has d3 12-piece set which includes 8,10,12” pan, 2 Sauce pans, stock pot , and sauté pan and lid for $799 cad which is equivalent to about $600 USD Do you think that’s a good deal?? Or would you still buy made in?
@@gymconceptscanada that’s a very good deal. That set usually sells for around $900. I recommend watching my comparison of Made In vs All-Clad before you decide - they have a few big differences (mainly handle design) and since these pans will last a long time, you want to get something you’ll love. Check it out here: Made In vs. All-Clad: My Unbiased Comparison After Testing Both for 3+ Years th-cam.com/video/Z1IlebodD-4/w-d-xo.html
I have been looking for the best cookware for induction. tried a few recommended on you tube, but have been dessapointed. And please do not recommend cast iron. It is great but not best for quick reheating etc.
I don't buy those expensive advertised kitchen tools/cookware. I get my pots and pans from the same place restaurants get their supplies... at restaurant supplies store. You know restaurants doesn't use Made In cookwares or any brand name cookwares. They're too expensive specially if they're buying loads of them. Their costs would cut into their already small margin of profit. My cookwares from restaurant supply are not terribly expensive as Made In and thy're widely used and tested/abused by cooks and chefs that works in the industry. Expensive named brand cookwares are for suckers. 😂
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I just spent $1,100.00 dollars on the 13 piece set, and as far as the carbon steel pan and wok, THEY ARE JUNK. I'm not a carbon steel newbie, so I know all about the seasoning process, etc... The stainless pots and pans are fine so far, but the biggest problem is their CUSTOMER SERVICE. TOTALLY RUDE and the lady hung up on me. I was not even being disrespectful, so my thinking is that she got offended with my feedback that the carbon steel product is complete crap. Stick with De Buyer or similar folks.

@@PrudentReviews im no near professional but Im seeking for a great pan! Have you tried the non stick? If so, do you recommend it?
There are pros and cons to each type. This video should help you.

WHy you have glass and gas?
They are not necessarily cheaper than All clad. Because all clad is carried by so many stores, at any given moment you can find them on special, sometimes as low as half price. I own a mix of d5 and made in. I bought the d5 pieces on sale snd cheaper than the made in equivalents.
Could you maybe have a video where you compare this to cheaper alternatives like Kirkland, tramontina, or cuisinart?
Great idea!
Just buy your cookware at a restaurant supply stores. Same places where restaurants buy their stuff. You know restaurant cooks/chefs abuse their cookwares (like toss it in the sink) so you know the cookwares are sturdy quality than the ones you mentioned. 🤙
Does it stay flat? I have a ceramic stove top and I HATE cookware that spins around when I'm cooking.
Yes it does
@@PrudentReviews thank you for replying, im having a difficult time deciding what to buy. Now Legend has been tossed into the mix.
I have a Made In saucier, a D3 saucepan and another D5 saucepan (bigger). The Made In feels a little thinner than the D3 material, with the D5 far thicker than both. I actually like the D3 handle that nobody likes, but I like the control you have when you are pouring. The rounder "more comfortable" handles never feel as locked it. The Made in its good for people who favor a lightweight set and a slightly darker finish. But if I usually steer people to the D3 everyday collection if they ask, just cause it ends up a little less expensive and like you mentioned I like the shape of pan walls, less shallow, and the bottom area is even wider for the same size diameter (normal D3 is only for people like me who like the handles lol).
A few cosmetic things and nitpicks about the Made In. Brushed finish on the D3 seems brighter, at least on my pieces held side by side, and the polished all clads I think look better, but will make you crazy if you care about fingerprints. My made in is a little darker, almost nickel tinged instead of silvery. But my biggest beef with made in pans is when I got mine new, I washed it, but kept finding when I wiped it with a paper towel some residue was still left (this was the stainless steel not the carbon steel which is also a bear to prep for seasoning). I eventually had to hit it with some barkeepers friend, and a real thorough soak and rinse to get it to not have any more residue. I don't know what thats about.
What is D3, and D5?
@@patrickkelly8095 oh those are All-Clad models. D3 is three ply, and D5 is five ply.
@@jonuiuc thank you.
Good review. I signed up for your news letter.
Awesome! Thank you!
Matty Matheson is the most glamorous chef Made In has picked for branding its line!
I have no problem using affiliate links when it's addressed. Honesty is so rare it hurts.
Can you do a review of their knives. Also how badly does the food stick to these pans
Is their a review on how and what tools used to not scratch up a pan? Anyone know...
I am looking at the Made In Non-Stick sets. Does anyone have experience with this portion of their line?
I’ve had their 10” nonstick for about two years. It gets nearly daily use in our house on our Reagan-era electric coil stove, and cooks beautifully. Nice even heating, and, despite sometimes lackadaisical cleaning from one member of the family, easy to clean, too! Still looks practically brand new. We’re pretty careful to not scratch the surface, though, and we don’t put any of the made in pans in the dishwasher, even though they’re (mostly) dishwasher safe. I suspect that’s added to the longevity.
Also tu for the great videos. Which stainless steel is the smoothes on the bottom of pan. I have Anolon but it has the huge logo on the bottom.
Most stainless steel pans are completely smooth on the bottom - All-Clad, Made In, Demeyere, Viking, Misen - just to name a few
I thought about getting a Dutch oven from them but theirs is too small. The normal sized Le creuset and others are 7qt and Made In is 5.5qt.
Do you use a consistent starting temp for your boil test?
Great question. Yes! The starting temperature is always 55F (give or take 1 degree)
Thank u- I am getting them:)
Do they work with induction cook tops- if not then a deal breaker
Yes they do
@@PrudentReviews It doesn't look like they indicate that on the bottom
Has anyone used this with a glass top electric range? The bottom seems pretty smooth so i hope it wont scratch
Yes, it’s completely safe on a glass top range
Have you reviewed Viking 3 Ply Stainless or the 5 Ply stainless pans/pots ???..... I think those are an absolute steal (3ply)
I haven’t made a video review yet but here’s the article prudentreviews.com/viking-cookware-review/
Thank you!
Thank you
You're welcome
Hi, can you make a review for the legend 14 piece copper core, stainless steel, 5 - Clad ply
and can it be used with induction cooktop?
Yes, all Made In cookware (except the copper collection) is induction compatible
@@PrudentReviews thank you! Couldnt find this anywhere on their website!
If you had to choose the best of the best who would it be brand wise?
Top picks for stainless steel are Made In, All-Clad, and Demeyere
What about Ledgend and 14 piece cooper stainless has anybody try then
Good review
Thank you!
made in d3 fry pans appear to be about the same price as all clad now.
I felt like I missed the cons section because it was so short :D
Any plans to do a Misen review?
Yes, it’s in the queue. In the meantime, here’s the written review prudentreviews.com/misen-cookware-review/
@@PrudentReviews just finished the review and it was very detailed and helpful! I plan on reading the Misen Vs. Made In next. One thing I would like to point out is Misen website says they have a lifetime warranty, so not sure if your review needs to be updated or I’m missing a detail.
@@drewksidetour thank you. I believe that changed recently - I’ll update that review. Thanks for flagging!
I always enjoy your reviews, and I love the long term stuff! That said, I'll not be a Made In customer anytime soon (if ever). Their prices here in Canada are NOT any better than All Clad. $140 CAD for a 3/4 quart butter warmer?! [Insert expletive here] off.
I didn’t like them… so hard to clean
People have been making gourmet food for centuries before the invention of the Clad Cookware. Copper is by far a better conductor and is generally preferred by Chef's where money is no object - they are expensive. However - today there are plenty of Brands of Clad cookware made in the USA and CHINA that are all generally pretty good. Spending huge amounts of money for the original brand is for the status conscious, but really makes no sense. Get a clad pan whose size fits your needs and is comfortable to handle for you. It is really personal preference there. Remember that you really do not need fully clad cookware for dishes that are cooked in Liquid - a stock pot with a Clad Disc on the bottom will work fine in that case and an Aluminum pot conducts heat even better. I suggest you comb the local flea markets for cookware - that you can clean back to life. With the exception of No-stick which are worthless - these pans are probably better than you will get today.
👍👍👍👍👍
My pan is warped, wobbling on the ceramic hob. And i have Hot Spots while Cooking. Got the 12 Inch pan
Where is it made?
When it first came out in 2017/2018 it was made in the US, but now their stainless steel cookware is made in Italy
what about being non-stick??? thats the one area you didn't cover
Made In stainless steel pans are not non-stick. But if you follow the tips in this video, you can minimize sticking: th-cam.com/video/p5XcN3AyITY/w-d-xo.html
The prices are getting more and more comparable to all clad, which I’m not too happy about
Prices have increased due to supply chain issues but are still less than All-Clad. For example, the Made In 12-inch stainless fry pan is $119, and the All-Clad D3 stainless fry pan is $199.
@@PrudentReviewsCostco Canada has d3 12-piece set which includes 8,10,12” pan, 2 Sauce pans, stock pot , and sauté pan and lid for $799 cad which is equivalent to about $600 USD
Do you think that’s a good deal?? Or would you still buy made in?
@@gymconceptscanada that’s a very good deal. That set usually sells for around $900. I recommend watching my comparison of Made In vs All-Clad before you decide - they have a few big differences (mainly handle design) and since these pans will last a long time, you want to get something you’ll love.

Some of your stuff is just nitpicking, overall made in products are great.
Agreed. Trying to give you all the little details so you know exactly what you’re getting. Made In is fantastic overall.
I have been looking for the best cookware for induction. tried a few recommended on you tube, but have been dessapointed. And please do not recommend cast iron. It is great but not best for quick reheating etc.
Great pan. Customer service sucks
Such a lame name for a quality Italian product. Made in? Come on..
It doesn't have toxic aluminum core like other stainless steel thats the game changer
Why no glass lids- a deal breaker for me
No it’s not
I don't buy those expensive advertised kitchen tools/cookware. I get my pots and pans from the same place restaurants get their supplies... at restaurant supplies store. You know restaurants doesn't use Made In cookwares or any brand name cookwares. They're too expensive specially if they're buying loads of them. Their costs would cut into their already small margin of profit.
My cookwares from restaurant supply are not terribly expensive as Made In and thy're widely used and tested/abused by cooks and chefs that works in the industry. Expensive named brand cookwares are for suckers. 😂
No difference, just dollars $$$$ disappointment & fraud!
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I just spent $1,100.00 dollars on the 13 piece set, and as far as the carbon steel pan and wok, THEY ARE JUNK. I'm not a carbon steel newbie, so I know all about the seasoning process, etc... The stainless pots and pans are fine so far, but the biggest problem is their CUSTOMER SERVICE. TOTALLY RUDE and the lady hung up on me. I was not even being disrespectful, so my thinking is that she got offended with my feedback that the carbon steel product is complete crap. Stick with De Buyer or similar folks.
You know why I hate shorts on You Tube. . . Because You cannot you know. . .
I don't like Made In. I would NEVER buy this product.
What about their non-stick pans? @PrudentReviews
