Here are the best Made In products to buy:
A cookware essential for any egg dish
Nonstick Frying Pan, $89-$129
The PFOA-free coating means eggs are always perfectly cooked and never leave any crusty bits behind. It’s also lightning fast to heat up, which is great for whipping up last minute meals. Plus the handle stays cool so I don’t have to worry about getting burned! And when dinner is finished, cleanup couldn’t be simpler – no more hours spent scrubbing away at pans. Now that’s something worth celebrating
A pan commonly used in European cooking
Blue Carbon Steel Frying Pan, $69-$99
Carbon steel is the unsung hero in home cooking! Combining all stainless steel and cast iron’s best qualities, it has everything you need to whip up a perfect meal. The sloped edges provide ultimate stir-frying power that can’t be done with straight-edge pans, plus its lightweight design ensures quick heat control for searing meat or fish – deliciously. What more could any cook ask for?
A large and sturdy stock pot
Stock Pot (6-Quart), $179-$229
I’ve finally settled into my new place, and nothing makes me happier than adding this Made In Stock Pot to my kitchen! Not only is it a handy 6-quart size that can be used for all sorts of yummy recipes, but its tall narrow shape ensures no boil-over messes in your cooking adventures. A must-have culinary essential if there ever was one!
If you’re looking for the perfect stockpot to host your backyard bash, then Made In has just what you need – except that it comes in one size. But they should make an XL version so their premium steel can help bring your outdoor feasts to life!
I wanted quality cookware without breaking the bank, so I opted for a cheaper pot to reduce my stock. After six hours of low and slow heat bubbling over, it was time to transfer into something reliable – enter my new 8-quart stainless steel stockpot from Made In! This beauty lived up to its reputation with even heating across the entire surface (no pesky hot spots!) – easy on your wallet & tough against high temperatures. Who said you couldn’t have both?
Two knives to perform delicate and difficult cutting tasks
The Knife Set, $311
For me, the true beauty of a Made In Paring and Utility knife lies in its exquisite design – reaching back to more romantic periods. Unsheathing them releases a rush of nostalgia that evokes images from the long past!
It’s like a scene from “The Princess Bride” every time Danny Bakst slides his knives in and out of their sheathes! The paring knife is perfect for dicing up an onion or slicing through some hard cheese, while the utility knife could use just a bit more length – ideal for larger loaves such as sesame semolina. But no worries; its serrated edge works wonders on narrower pieces of bread (baguettes) and much softer foods (tomatoes? grilled peaches?). Slice away with ease thanks to the senior manager of story production, Danny Bakst!
A pan with a rounded bottom that’s perfect for making sauces
Saucier, $99-$169
Made In’s stainless-clad cookware is rugged and crafted with care right here in the US. It takes a bit of effort to season, but once you do that – oh boy! Say goodbye to sticky rice – it won’t be an issue anymore. Cooking success awaits!
Owen Burke, senior reporter and now devoted admirer of the saucepan, raves about its weighty handle that promises sturdiness. And no need to fear spills with this pan’s beveled edges, which allow you to easily maneuver it on your stovetop—making it Owen’s must-have kitchen essential!
The staple of all staples: a stainless steel pan
Frying Pan, $79-$99
I’m sure glad I got my hands on Made In’s stainless steel frying pan! Cool handle while cooking? Check. On-trend kitchen look? Double check. Evenly cooked food every time? Absolutely!
Cooking with stainless steel pans can challenge even the most experienced chefs. But when you’re short on time, they may only sometimes fit into your busy schedule – it takes much longer to clean than other nonstick options! However, despite its challenges in cleaning up after use, reviews and ratings are mostly positive across the board – except for some who note that as their only con.
A wok to make delicious stir fry
Blue Carbon Steel Wok, $95
Get the best of both worlds with Made In’s Blue Carbon Steel Wok! It gives you all the sautéing power of a stir-fry pan and has just enough wok flair to make the cooking feel like an adventure. Perfect for every Western kitchen (no rounded bottom required)!
A beautiful block serving tray
The Butcher Block, $129
Look no further than the remarkable Made In American Maple Butcher Block for those looking for an item that blends beauty and utility. This stunning block of wood is made from sustainably sourced recycled maple in Wisconsin, so you can rest easy knowing it looks great and was ethically produced as well!
Forget about the monotonous days of cutting and slicing – a board is much more! Its flat side was thoughtfully crafted to act as both a serving tray AND cheese plate. While its weight may be daunting, two helpful handles make it surprisingly easy to move around your home. Who knew chopping could be such an adventure?
