Fry Pans

The Made In CeramiClad™ 10-inch Frying Pan represents a significant evolution in cookware technology. Unlike standard non-stick pans that rely on thin aluminum cores and potentially harmful chemicals, this pan is built on the foundation of Made In’s award-winning 5-ply Stainless Clad body. This provides the uniform heating and temperature stability that professional chefs demand for consistent searing and reduction, while the CeramiClad™ coating ensures that even the most delicate proteins—from sea bass to over-easy eggs—slide off without resistance. This is a tool designed for the health-conscious high-performance kitchen. The ceramic coating is formulated without PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, lead, or cadmium, providing a 'clean' cooking surface that doesn't sacrifice durability. While typical ceramic pans lose their effectiveness within months, the CeramiClad™ process involves a high-performance application designed to withstand the rigors of daily stovetop use. Its thoughtfully curved walls are optimized for flipping and sautéing, while the lightweight yet sturdy 2.5 lb frame prevents wrist fatigue during long service windows. Whether you are finishing a dish in a 550°F oven or working on a high-output induction range, this pan delivers the thermal response of professional stainless steel with the zero-friction experience of modern ceramics.

The Tom Colicchio Carbon Steel Frying Pan started with a pan the chef bought at Zabar’s in the 1980s and cooked with for decades. Made In spent 18 months working with Colicchio, using 3D scanning to capture the shape of that pan, then built it in thicker Swedish carbon steel with a long, solid brass handle. The result is a limited-edition searing pan that feels like a well-used favorite from the first cook.
Why It PerformsThicker steel: At 2.5 mm, the pan is heavier gauge than Made In’s standard 2.0 mm carbon steel, so it holds more heat when a cold steak hits the surface.Broad, flat floor: The wide cooking surface gives room to sear without crowding, and the tapered walls make flipping and basting easy.Solid brass handle: The long, riveted handle reaches to the back of a hot oven, and the brass darkens with age along with the pan.Pre-seasoned: The pan arrives seasoned and ready to cook, and the surface becomes slicker each time it is used and oiled.
What It Does BestSteaks, chops, and burgers with a deep crustScallops and fish with crisp skinSearing on the stove and finishing in the ovenPan sauces made from the fond
Choosing the Right Made In PanColicchio’s design also comes as the Made In Tom Colicchio Carbon Steel Roasting Pan. For an everyday carbon steel pan, see the Made In 10-inch Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan. Keep the seasoning in shape with Made In Carbon Steel Seasoning Wax. Learn More

The Made In 8-inch ProCoat Non-Stick Fry Pan is the dedicated egg pan: sized for a folded omelet, a pair of fried eggs, or a single portion that needs a clean release. Made In bonds multiple layers of professional-grade, FDA-approved nonstick to the same stainless clad body used in its Stainless Clad line, so even this small pan heats evenly and responds quickly when the burner is turned down, which is what keeps eggs tender rather than rubbery.
Why It PerformsClad stainless body under the coating: Heat spreads evenly across the small floor and up the walls, so an omelet sets uniformly from center to edge.Multi-layer professional coating: Made In applies several layers of nonstick and builds the pan for the pace of a commercial kitchen. Made In states that the coating lasts up to 70 times longer than ceramic nonstick.Flared lip and long handle: The flared rim and long, ergonomic handle make it easy to fold an omelet, flip an egg, and slide food onto a plate.Stovetop to oven: The hollow Stay Cool Handle stays comfortable on the burner, and the oven-safe coating allows a small frittata to finish in the oven.
What It Does BestFrench and folded omeletsFried, over-easy, and scrambled eggs for one or twoSearing a few scallops or a small fish filletToasting pine nuts, seeds, and spices without stickingCrepes and single pancakes
Choosing the Right Made In PanFor more than one or two portions, ProCoat also comes in the Made In 10-inch ProCoat Non-Stick Fry Pan and the Made In 12-inch ProCoat Non-Stick Fry Pan. Cooks who prefer a ceramic surface, or a slightly higher oven rating, should compare the Made In 8-inch CeramiClad Non-Stick Frying Pan. For searing and small pan sauces at the same size, choose the Made In 8-inch Stainless Clad Frying Pan. Learn More

The Made In 8-inch CeramiClad Non-Stick Frying Pan is the small, everyday egg pan for cooks who prefer a ceramic surface to conventional nonstick. It is sized for a folded omelet, a pair of fried eggs, or a single chicken breast. Made In applies its ceramic nonstick to the same 5-ply stainless clad body used in its Stainless Clad cookware, so even this small pan heats evenly, holds its temperature, and responds quickly when the burner is turned down.
Why It PerformsCeramic nonstick surface: Eggs and delicate fish release with little oil, and cleanup takes a soft sponge.Clad stainless body: Layers of stainless steel and aluminum spread heat evenly across the small floor, so an omelet sets uniformly from center to edge instead of browning in one spot.Curved walls: The rounded profile makes it easy to fold an omelet, flip an egg, and slide food onto a plate.Stovetop to oven: The riveted, hollow Stay Cool Handle stays comfortable on the burner, and the pan carries a higher oven rating than Made In’s ProCoat nonstick, so a small frittata can finish in the oven.

The Made In 8-inch Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan is the small, quick-heating pan for cooking one portion well. It brings the searing ability and heat retention of carbon steel to tasks a larger pan handles poorly: a single egg, a handful of scallops, a pan of toasted nuts or whole spices. At this size, carbon steel comes up to temperature quickly on any burner, and the pan is light enough to swirl, toss, and pour from one hand. It also packs easily for the grill or a camping trip.
Why It PerformsSeasoned at the factory: Made In applies the first two coats of seasoning, a blend of shea nut oil and coconut oil, before the pan ships. Those coats are the most difficult to build at home, so the pan cooks well from its first use and develops a darker, slicker patina over time.Stamped from one disc of steel: The body is a single piece of stamped carbon steel, with no coating to chip or wear away. Made In rates it at roughly half the weight of cast iron, which at this size makes one-handed tossing and pouring easy.Concentrated heat: A small floor over a standard burner heats evenly and quickly, which suits short, hot tasks such as blistering peppers or searing a single portion of fish.Sloped walls: The flared sides make it easy to toss food, baste with butter, and slide an egg onto a plate.Hollow Stay Cool Handle: The hollow handle slows the transfer of heat and remains comfortable to grip during stovetop cooking.
What It Does BestFried eggs and omelets for one, once the seasoning has maturedToasting nuts, seeds, and whole spicesSearing scallops, a small fish fillet, or a single chopBlistering shishito peppers and charring small vegetablesCooking over a camp stove, grill, or campfire
Choosing the Right Made In PanFor two portions, the Made In 10-inch Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan is the everyday size; the Made In 12-inch Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan handles family-size batches. Cooks who want eggs to release from the first day, without building seasoning, should compare the Made In 8-inch ProCoat Non-Stick Fry Pan or the Made In 8-inch CeramiClad Non-Stick Frying Pan.

The Made In 12-inch Stainless Clad Frying Pan is a professional-grade, 5-ply stainless pan built for high-heat searing, browning, and oven finishing, and sized for cooking several portions at once. It holds several chicken thighs or a full batch of vegetables in a single layer without crowding, which is what separates a deep sear from a steamed, gray one.
Why It PerformsFully clad from floor to rim: The conductive layers extend up the walls, so heat stays even across the full 12-inch surface, edge to edge.Built for fond: A bare stainless surface browns proteins and builds the browned bits that become a pan sauce when deglazed with wine or stock.Broiler-ready heat rating: The pan’s rating is well above that of nonstick cookware, so it moves from the burner straight under the broiler.Stay Cool Handle: The hollow stainless handle slows the transfer of heat and remains comfortable to grip on the stovetop.Rolled rim: Sauces and rendered fat pour cleanly without dripping down the side.
What It Does BestSearing steaks, chops, and chicken thighs for a familyBuilding and reducing pan saucesBrowning a full batch of vegetables or mushrooms in one layerShallow frying cutletsFinishing dishes under the broilerStainless is not the best choice for eggs or other delicate, low-fat cooking, where a nonstick surface performs better. It excels instead at high-heat browning and fond-building, which a nonstick coating cannot deliver.
How It ComparesCompared with All-Clad’s 12-inch D3 fry pan, a common benchmark in this category, the Made In pan uses 5-ply construction instead of 3-ply and carries a higher oven rating: 800°F versus 600°F for the D3. The two pans are similar in size. Made In’s Stainless Clad Frying Pan was named “Best Overall Stainless Steel Frying Pan” by Food Network.The same pan comes in the Made In 10-inch Stainless Clad Frying Pan and the Made In 8-inch Stainless Clad Frying Pan, which suit smaller households and single servings. For eggs and fish, pair it with the Made In 12-inch ProCoat Non-Stick Fry Pan or the Made In 12-inch CeramiClad Non-Stick Frying Pan. Learn More

The Made In 12-inch Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan is the size for cooks who feed a family or a table of guests. Its wide cooking floor holds a pair of large steaks, a full batch of chicken thighs, or a skillet of potatoes in a single layer, and a single layer is what produces an even, deep crust instead of a steamed surface. Carbon steel retains heat like cast iron but responds to the burner much faster, and this pan carries that performance from the stovetop to the oven, the grill, or a campfire.
Why It PerformsSeasoned before it ships: Made In completes the first two rounds of seasoning, a blend of shea nut oil and coconut oil, at the factory. These are the most demanding coats to build at home, so the pan is ready to cook from the first use, and its surface grows darker and slicker with each meal.One piece of stamped steel: The pan is stamped from a single carbon steel disc, with no coating to chip, peel, or wear thin. Made In puts its weight at roughly half that of cast iron, which matters most at this size, when a full pan has to come off the burner or out of the oven.Room to work: The broad floor and flared walls give a spatula clear access and leave space to flip, toss, and baste without crowding.Built for the highest heat: With nothing on the surface to protect, the pan goes onto a grill grate, under the broiler, or directly over flame.Hollow Stay Cool Handle: The hollow handle slows the transfer of heat and remains comfortable to grip during stovetop cooking.
What It Does BestSearing two large steaks or several chops at onceRoasting a spatchcocked chicken or a full pan of thighs in the ovenStir-fries and fried rice with room to tossCrisping a full batch of potatoes or hash for a family breakfastCooking over a grill or campfire, where the pan doubles as a griddle
Choosing the Right Made In PanFor two people or smaller portions, the Made In 10-inch Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan is lighter and heats faster on a standard burner; the Made In 8-inch Seasoned Carbon Steel Frying Pan suits single servings. Cooks who want the same 12-inch size without seasoning to maintain should compare the Made In 12-inch ProCoat Non-Stick Fry Pan. For wine reductions and tomato sauces, which can strip seasoning, the Made In 12-inch Stainless Clad Frying Pan is the better tool. Learn More

The Made In 12-inch CeramiClad Non-Stick Frying Pan is for cooks who want a large, easy-release pan without conventional nonstick chemistry. Made In applies a ceramic nonstick surface to the same 5-ply stainless clad body used in its Stainless Clad cookware, rather than to the thin aluminum base common to ceramic pans, so this pan holds its heat when food goes in and spreads it evenly across the full 12-inch floor. It cooks eggs for a family, a batch of pancakes, or fish fillets for several people in a single layer.
Why It PerformsCeramic nonstick surface: Eggs, fish, and starches release with little oil, and cleanup takes a soft sponge.Clad stainless body: Layers of stainless steel and aluminum carry heat evenly across the floor and up the walls, and the added thermal mass keeps the pan from cooling sharply when a full batch of food goes in.Curved walls: The rounded profile makes it easy to toss vegetables, flip an omelet, and slide food onto a platter.Stovetop to oven: The riveted, hollow Stay Cool Handle stays comfortable on the burner, and the pan carries a higher oven rating than Made In’s ProCoat nonstick, so family-size frittatas and skillet dishes can finish in the oven.
What It Does BestScrambled eggs and omelets for a familyPancakes, French toast, and crepes in batchesDelicate white fish and crab cakesSautéed vegetables and large-batch stir-friesGentle reductions, such as a balsamic glaze

Made In’s other nonstick line, the Made In 12-inch ProCoat Non-Stick Fry Pan, uses a conventional professional-grade coating on the same body.
