Because of its non-stick coating, the lifespan of non-stick pans is not very long. As time goes by, the non-stick properties of general non-stick pans will also decrease. So it is not easy to find a durable non-stick pan. So when Made In launched this non-stick pan, it caught our attention and claimed that it has two layers of non-stick coating, which means it will last longer and be more durable than ordinary non-stick pans.
I have been using it for about half a year since I bought it, and I feel very good about using it. Except it’s a little heavy. If you also want to know whether it is worth buying, then continue reading our article. I introduced its material and usage experience in detail.

Made In’s stainless steel pot has a stainless steel exterior as a whole, and the details have a brushed design, which can better hide scratches caused by daily bumps. The internal non-stick coating is PFOA chemical that does not contain toxic substances, and this pot has two layers of non-stick coating, so it will last longer. And you can choose the color of the pot by yourself, including gray and blue. To be honest, the blue bottom of the pan is eye-catching to me, because most of the non-stick pans on the market now have gray bottoms.
The Made In logo, size and production location will be printed on the bottom of the pot. The sides of the pot are different from other pots in that they are not enclosed but in a trumpet shape, which allows the contents in the pot to be poured out more smoothly. The bottom of the pot is flat and can fit well with your glass stove. Of course, you will have no problem using other stoves. It is suitable for any stove. Its handle is flat and elongated and made of frosted material, making it comfortable to hold and non-slip. The hole in the bottom of the handle also allows it to be hung on the wall.
Its overall design and materials are very careful, taking into account the user’s daily convenience and comfort.
Performance

I will be using it to fry eggs and boil water to test its non-stick properties and how quickly it heats up.
I’ve cooked a lot of food with it, beef, salmon, pancakes, etc. There was no sticking to the pan. Generally, when testing the non-stick properties of non-stick pans, I use fried eggs to test them.
I will put a small amount of oil before cracking the eggs. After cracking the eggs, the bottom of the eggs and the surface of the pan will react quickly. After the bottom of the eggs is completely solidified, the eggs can slide smoothly in the country without sticking. Moreover, the eggs were fried very crispy and very quickly, which solved my breakfast problem very well.
The second time, I would use cold water to test the pot’s thermal conductivity. I poured three cups of cold water into the pot, set it over high heat and watched how fast the cold water bubbled. After about two minutes, the water began to boil. I put the pot on the countertop and let it sit for about ten minutes, and it was still very hot. It conducts heat well and retains heat very well.
And after I used it for a period of time, there were no obvious scratches on the pot surface.
Cleaning
Cleaning this non-stick pan is very simple, just use warm water and dish soap. Although the manufacturer says it can be cleaned in the dishwasher, we still do not recommend cleaning non-stick pans in the dishwasher, as this will damage the coating. Gentle hand washing can increase its lifespan. Be careful to avoid using hard tools when cleaning to avoid damaging the coating.
Is it worth to buy?
The overall performance of this non-stick pan is very good, and its price is relatively moderate among many brands. After a period of use, its pot surface is indeed more scratch-resistant than ordinary non-stick pots. Not only is it durable, its thermal conductivity and thermal insulation properties are also excellent. And it can be adapted to induction cookers. You must know that the bottom of some non-stick pans is not compatible with induction cookers. If you are looking for a non-stick pan that performs well in all aspects and is affordable. Then it will be a good choice for you.
