Care and Accessories
Protect what you stack
The Made In Silicone Pan Protectors sit inside a frying pan so pans stack without scratches. They are especially useful for CeramiClad and ProCoat coatings.
Keep carbon steel seasoned
Made In Carbon Steel Seasoning Wax and the Made In Carbon Steel Cleaning Set clean, restore, and protect the seasoning on pans, woks, and griddles.
Made In Questions
Where is Made In cookware made?
It depends on the line. Stainless Clad is made in Italy or the USA, and the country is marked on the bottom of each pan. Carbon Steel is made in Sweden. CeramiClad’s ceramic coating is applied in the USA.
What is the difference between CeramiClad and ProCoat?
Both put a nonstick surface on the same 5-ply stainless clad body. CeramiClad is a ceramic coating made without PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE, and it is oven safe to 550°F. ProCoat is Made In’s traditional multi-layer nonstick coating, oven safe to 500°F.
Should I choose stainless clad or carbon steel?
Choose Stainless Clad for pan sauces, acidic dishes, and a pan that goes in the dishwasher. Choose carbon steel for the highest heat, use on the grill or over a campfire, and a surface that grows more nonstick as it is seasoned.
Does Made In cookware work on induction?
Yes. Stainless Clad, CeramiClad, ProCoat, and the carbon steel frying pans all work on induction as well as gas and electric cooktops.
