Made In Cookware – 12-Inch Stainless Steel Frying Pan – 5 Ply Stainless Clad – Professional Cookware – Crafted in Italy – Induction Compatible

Always learning home chef
In my many decades of fun and irreverent home-cheffing for my family and friends, I’ve made nearly every mistake in the book! But I’ve always eventually mastered my goals. In that time, I’ve realized my cookware and appliances really matter, and that every one worth its weight has a learning curve.What I have to say doesn’t pertain to synthetic “non-stick” surface coatings — it’s assumed we all know how toxic they’ve always been, and never owned any …For starters, my cooktop, a GE electric coil, is over 50 years old, but I love it. It’s identical to the one Julia Child used in several of her early (late 60s, early 70s) cooking shows. Until its bottom element spontaneously kinked two years ago, my oven, also a GE electric over 50 years, was identical (though Julia’s was the double-oven model). I’ve always felt, if Julia could master a dish on them, I can never blame my appliances.I’ve learned cast iron is my friend. But getting there has been an excruciating journey. I will never forgive myself for giving away my mother’s beautifully seasoned cast iron cookware 35 years ago, after stupidly putting the pieces in my dishwasher, destroying their (fixable) sleek finishes, and thinking they were ruined. In the time since, I’ve bought new CI, taken down their grainy pre-seasoned surfaces in my backyard with a palm-sander, learned the best foods (bacon, potatoes, and anything in tallow) and high-smoke-point oils to re-polymerize their seasoning, and learned how to clean them (dish soap and even an SOS pan can be your friends, but only if used sparingly).I should have known I’d fall in love with this Made In SS frying pan. Over 40 years ago, I’d mastered making perfect crepes using my little SS crepe pan. For years, nearly every time my husband and I entertained, I made our overnight guests breakfast crepes, especially ham and fresh asparagus with Mornay sauce or as dessert, rhubarb crepes or pie. I stopped at my local farmer’s side stand so frequently for asparagus and rhubarb, the farmer knew my car. One torrential rain day, she walked up to my car in her hooded slicker and announced, “I ain’t pickin’ no asparagus or rhubard!”This Made In SS 10” skillet is my culinary circle back to the basics. Already I love its spectacular ability to sear meat for the prized Maillard reaction and brown, scrapeable savory bits for gravy and sauces, alternatively cook eggs, and stir fry. Cleanup is even more forgiving than CI.All that said, several points need to be made for those new to SS. First, NEVER try to heat any cookware fast. Both CI and SS can warp or even crack if they’re subject to a sudden temperature change. Second, neither CI nor SS should be subject to high or even medium-high cooktop temperatures to perform. Rather, slowly heat the cookware to the desired temperature. For dishes that start or complete in the oven, slowly warm the piece to the same.

Great pan, love it!
This is a fantastic pan, well worth it, and doesn’t make me wonder about the more expensive brands.This is the first high-end stainless pan I’ve ever gotten, and now have been using it a while, I’m very happy with it. It’s quite versatile and useful, and have used it from sauteeing meats and veggies to cooking pasta and sauces.I was looking at All Clad and other more expensive brands, but after doing significant research chose Made In, and am extremely satisfied. Well made, comfortable in hand, and tough.As long as you follow a few habits when it comes to stainless, keeping it clean and in good condition isn’t difficult. Expect a little staining and scratching, they’re cosmetic and don’t detract from performance.

No lid is included
Just be advised, there is no lid shipped with pan! I didnt realize this. Im just glad I have another lid that can fit it. Kind of annoting for the price.

Great skillet
You might travel with this one, it’s that good.

This is supposed to be a premium buy-it-for-life product. It came warped or bowed out so very little of the base of the pan is in touch with the cooker. I thought this would correct over time through thermal expansion but that was not the case. If you’re in the market for a stainless steel pan, go with a firm with more experience and knowledge like all clad.

Responde bien al fuego, se siente lo bien construida y no se le pega nada,la verdad que estoy muy contento, la.unica razón por la que le doy las cinco estrellas es por qué no llego su manual, por lo que da la sensación de que fue abierta.

¡Después de un año, todavía se ve genial! Los huevos saben mejor así.
