Tips for Best Results
- Cook over low to medium heat. Made In notes that ceramic releases food best at medium temperatures rather than high heat.
- On a standard home burner, allow a little extra preheating time so the outer edge of the 12-inch floor comes up to temperature.
- Use silicone or wood utensils. Avoid aerosol cooking sprays on the coating.
- Let the pan cool completely, then hand wash with a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and the dishwasher.
- Heat and cool the pan gradually to prevent warping.
- If stacking, place a Made In Silicone Pan Protector 12 inch or a kitchen towel inside the pan to protect the coating.
When We Recommend the Made In 12-inch CeramiClad Non-Stick Frying Pan
Who it Fits Best
Home cooks and professionals who want the heat control of stainless clad cookware with the easy release of nonstick, and who prefer a ceramic surface made without PFAS or PTFE.
Where it Excels
Temperature-sensitive tasks such as reducing a balsamic glaze or cooking delicate white fish, where even heat and a clean release matter more than a hard sear.
Professional Comparisons
At 1.5 kg (3.3 lb), the pan weighs less than half as much as Le Creuset’s 11.75-inch enameled cast iron skillet, 3.1 kg (6 lb 14 oz), which makes it far easier to lift and toss when full. Against the Made In 12-inch ProCoat Non-Stick Fry Pan, which shares its body and dimensions, CeramiClad offers a ceramic surface and a higher oven rating: 550°F versus 500°F.
Chef Feedback
“The handle angle is the standout. It provides excellent leverage for flipping without putting strain on the wrist during long prep sessions.”
Trade-offs & Considerations
The ceramic coating needs gentler care than stainless steel. High heat, metal utensils, and the dishwasher can reduce its slickness over time.
