Construction: 5-ply stainless steel with two layers of professional-grade nonstick coating.Pieces included: 10-inch frying pan, 4-quart saucepan with lid, 4-quart sauté pan with lid, 8-quart stock pot with lid.They’re easy to clean and quick to dry, too. Made In’s cookware proved to be heavier than some competitors, but the weight is a worthy tradeoff for the quality and performance of these pots and pans. We also appreciate the safety notch that lets you know where you need to stop your hand from burning yourself when using this cookware. In addition, we found the handles to be flatter than most other sets, although they aren't uncomfortable to hold. The beveled lip on all pieces of the set makes for easy pouring with minimal drips or spills, and in general, we found each piece of this set roomier than most, which helps with overcrowding. We like how the sides of the Made In nonstick sauté pan curve gently away from the center, which makes it easy to move food around without anything getting lost along the edges. These pans even passed our rice test without a hitch, offering up lovely crispness with no hot spots or pesky adhesion. And rest assured, these pans are 100% non-toxic and made without PFOAs.ĭuring testing, our fried egg came off the pan with crispy edges and a nicely browned underside, our scrambled eggs were tender and yielding, and our onions browned nicely without a hint of sticking. With a 5-ply stainless steel construction and internal nonstick coating, this attractive, modern, and well-designed set comes with everything one needs in a basic cookware set, including a perfect-sized fry pan, saucepan, sauté pan, and stock pot. If heavy pans are an issue for you, consider testing a few different brands’ pans in a store before you buy.Made In makes some great cookware, and this nonstick set is no exception. Depending on these pans’ size, and the thickness of their metal, they’re probably heftier than the lightweight Always Pan. For about $40 more, the All-Clad HA1 Hard Anodized Nonstick Weeknight Pan features two cast stainless steel handles that offer a more secure grip.
We haven’t tested wok-shaped pans at Wirecutter yet, but if you’re interested in a nonstick one and want a place to start your search, this Anolon pan, with a grippy silicone handle and a domed lid, looks like a solid deal at less than $60 at this writing. And if you think a wok isn’t an egg pan, this Kylie Kwong recipe will probably change your mind.
Plus, the wide flared side is ideal for sautéing vegetables because it allows moisture to evaporate quickly. The tapered design allows you to nest bamboo steaming baskets inside with plenty of room for water to bubble beneath. If you do a lot of sautéing and steaming, nothing beats a wok-shaped pan. She found that the technique was effective on darker stains but took a lot of elbow grease, and it still left behind some lightly discolored spots on the pan’s pale blue exterior. Marguerite tried cleaning the stains from her Equal Parts pan with a paste of baking soda and water, letting it sit for a few minutes and then scrubbing with a soft sponge. But all of that takes work, which may be more than you bargained for. You could probably try it on the Always Pan, too, although Our Place offers no advice for dealing with stains. Caraway and Equal Parts recommend a similar technique (with either baking soda and water or baking soda and vinegar, and never with an abrasive sponge). And usually you can scrub stains off with a slurry of baking soda and water or Bar Keepers Friend. Stains don’t show on darker-colored nonstick pans or cast iron, but you can see them on a stainless steel skillet or a nice Le Creuset Dutch oven, as well.
That’s not unusual: All cookware stains when you use it. The Equal Parts Essential Pan that senior editor Marguerite Preston is using has fared similarly. Wirecutter supervising editor Marilyn Ong, who has been testing the cream-colored Caraway Sauté Pan over the past few months and hand-washing it after each use, says her cookware is already spotted with stains.
