Performance-First Cookware Built for the World's Toughest Kitchens
Made In doesn't build kitchen tools for the average home cook — they build them for the line cook in the middle of a Saturday night rush. Born from a 100-year family legacy in restaurant supply, Made In focuses on metallurgical integrity and ergonomic efficiency in every piece, so your cookware can withstand constant thermal cycling without warping or losing its edge.
That professional-first approach is why Made In is trusted by some of the best chefs in the world — and why Knife Merchant carries the full range: Signature 5-Ply stainless clad cookware, ProCoat non-stick, CeramiClad mineral-based non-stick, and hand-forged carbon steel, all crafted in the USA and Europe for a lifetime of performance.

Made In Seasoned Carbon Steel Grill Basket 12"
Professional-Grade Char Without the Cast Iron Bulk For the chef who demands the sear of cast iron but requires the thermal responsiveness of carbon steel, the Made In 12" Grill Basket is a mission-critical tool for the line or the patio. Unlike traditional stainless mesh baskets that warp under extreme temperatures, this basket is constructed from heavy-duty Swedish carbon steel, pre-seasoned and ready for immediate service. It thrives in high-heat environments—from live-fire wood grills to high-output propane setups—handling temperatures up to 1200°F without compromising structural integrity. The engineering focus of this piece is the 53 dime-sized perforations. These are not merely decorative; they are precision-calculated to maximize the Maillard reaction by allowing direct flame-to-food contact. This creates the signature smoky profile and char that defines professional grilling, while the depth and wall angle ensure that delicate items like shishito peppers, bay scallops, or spring ramps stay contained and away from the charcoal bed. At 4.4 lbs, this basket provides significant thermal mass for consistent searing but remains roughly half the weight of a comparable cast iron vessel. This weight reduction is a vital ergonomic benefit during high-volume service, reducing wrist fatigue when tossing ingredients over the flame. It responds rapidly to heat adjustments, allowing for precise control when moving between direct and indirect heat zones. This is an essential high-heat tool that expands the versatility of your grill, turning it into a high-performance roasting and searing station. Learn More -
Made In Professional Carbon Steel Griddle
The Ultimate Upgrade for the Serious Home Cook Forget the frustration of thin, warped pans that steam your meat instead of searing it. The Made In Carbon Steel Griddle brings the power of a professional flattop into your home kitchen, specifically engineered to fit across two burners on your standard range. Crafted in Sweden from heavy-duty 4mm carbon steel, this griddle provides the incredible heat retention of cast iron but with the thermal responsiveness of a high-end skillet. This means you can go from a screaming hot sear for smashburgers to a gentle warmth for pancakes in a fraction of the time. Dual-Zone Mastery on Your Stovetop Because this griddle spans two burners, it allows you to create distinct heat zones—something a round pan simply cannot do. You can sear your ribeyes on one side while gently blistering asparagus or keeping hash browns warm on the other. The 4mm gauge is the 'Goldilocks' thickness for home use: heavy enough to maintain a constant temperature when you drop cold proteins onto the surface, yet light enough to maneuver into the oven or onto the grill. Naturally Non-Stick and Chemical-Free Unlike disposable non-stick pans coated in synthetic chemicals, this griddle is pre-seasoned with a proprietary blend of coconut and shea nut oils. As you cook with it, the surface becomes darker and more non-stick over time. It is 100% free from PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE, ensuring that the only thing you're serving is great flavor. Whether you are cooking over a gas flame, an induction cooktop, or even an open campfire, this griddle is virtually indestructible and rated to handle temperatures up to 1200°F. Learn More$179.00 -
