Made in Stainless Clad Fry Pans

It seems to have been reviewed well and believe I may have seen reviews that said some things would stick to it, unlike a modern coted stick-free pan. But, I was looking for aluminum-free and a round 12", well-made. It has aluminum, but it is 5-layered and aluminum in 2 of the layers between other materials. I like it except for the sticking of things like scrambled eggs, but other than that, I believe it is a very well-made frying pan and not too heavy such as an iron skillet, and a better price than some skillets. I also purchased a smaller glass frying pan elsewhere at the same time, so I have these plus my Westbend Aristocraft pots, pans, skillets, that I bought approximately 1974, but didn't have a round skillet. The latter are in very good condition, too. ... MoreIt seems to have been reviewed well and believe I may have seen reviews that said some things would stick to it, unlike a modern coted stick-free pan.

This pan was horrible! I got it, I cleaned it, I dried it well and then I made scrambled eggs in the pan. I used avocado oil. The scrambled eggs stuck to the pan so bad that soaking it overnight in hot soapy water did nothing. Then after scrubbing diligently I soaked it again and the next attempt to get out of the grunge from the egg sticking I used stainless steel cleaner and that did not work. Then I used baking soda and that did not work. Then I used baking soda and vinegar. I soaked it again in hot soapy water. That didn't really help so then I boiled water in the pan. That didn't make much difference. Finally, after getting majorly aggressive with the pan most of the residue came out but not all of it.If I'm going to pay this much money for a pan and I used it ... MoreThis pan was horrible!

Returning it!I highly doubt that this review will make it through and show up on the website because it's a negative review. Time will tell and I'm suspicious that they don't post the bad reviews. All I saw was really good ones.

There's something about truly refined products that just becomes very apparent when you're around them. For example: the way a BMW door closes, the drape of a Brooks Bro's sport coat, the hand-feel and finish of an Apple iMac or MacBook, the functional physics of a Dyson Vacuum. They don't feel cheap. They feel ... substantial, thoughtful, precise, intuitive. There's a subtle elegance about the materials, the way they're put together, the daily use of them.The MadeIn 12" Stainless Steel Fry Pan is one of these truly refined products. The box and its packing is beautiful, like unboxing a culinary version of an Apple product. The handle has an intuitive and comfortable shape and a slightly knurled brushed finish which provides a secure hold in the hand.

The box and its packing is beautiful, like unboxing a culinary version of an Apple product. The handle has an intuitive and comfortable shape and a slightly knurled brushed finish which provides a secure hold in the hand. Picking it up, the pan feels substantial in the best way: heavy enough to feel solid like a tank, but light enough to be easy to manipulate and move around. Placed on the induction cooking surface, it was perfectly flat. I placed a marble in the middle. It didn't move: perfection. I placed an ice cube in the middle and 6 around the perimeter, and then slowly heated the pan. The ice cubes melted symmetrically. Beautiful! I let the water evaporate and then poured a couple tablespoons of cold-pressed grapeseed oil. It stayed in a perfect circle in the middle and slowly radiated outward symmetrically. I added minced garlic and minced vidalia onion. It cooked beautifully; the ingredients fragrant. I added chicken, rosemary sprigs, paprika, and multi-colored fingerling potatoes. The food never crusted, the surface heated uniformly, and it was a pleasure to move the ingredients around. I played the food. Delicious. And cleaning off the pan under the faucet once it cooled down was a cinch. It wiped down easily and looked brand-new again.I'm so happy with this pan. And I say this as someone who was not at all happy with a prior MadeIn product.I bought a carbon steel paella pan months ago. I followed explicit directions to heat the pan slowly, even when seasoning with grapeseed oil just like in the MadeIn website videos. But then it warped and wobbled terribly on the induction surface. I reached out to MadeIn about a replacement. They kindly agreed. I tried using the new one in the same careful way again. I reheated super slowly from low to medium over 20 mins — and it warped immediately on the first use. Horrible.It's a beautifully finished product, but too finicky for normal execution. It's a product that requires re-tooling; I'd suggest making the metal gauge thicker.I sent them video evidence of the warping happening in real time. They didn't argue. They agreed and MadeIn immediately sent me this new stainless pan as a replacement and let me keep the warped carbon steel pans for baking & grilling.Class act, service wise. While I would politely stay away from the paella pan, this 12" stainless pan is a home run. No wonder Grant Achatz uses it at Alinea un Chicago.
