(We loved Made In so much, we convinced them to sponsor this post.)
No Coating, No Chemicals, No Bullsh**. Just Lifetime-Lasting Cookware.
I used to be a pick up the discount cookware set from Target and let it ride type of home cook. Cooking has always been more of a necessity in my household, not so much an art. But when I started to see some of the horrid chemicals that are used in cheap-made pans (like the “forever chemical” PFAS that can lead to cancer, liver damage, and thyroid disease)… I knew it was time to make a change.
A friend of mine (who very much sees cooking as an art) recommended I try Made In’s Stainless Steel. According to her, it’s like professional-grade cookware at a fraction of the price without any harsh chemicals, cheap metals, or sketchy coatings. As a bonus, it’s built to last a lifetime.
When I saw Made In’s Stainless Steel is used in over 2,000 restaurants and has garnered over 125,000 reviews from home cooks like me for 4.9 out of 5 stars, I figured it was worth a try. And let me tell you, investing in this cookware set has been the best decision I’ve made for my kitchen, my home, and my family. Let me explain…
Professional-Grade, Chemical-Free, and an Endless Stack of Accolades
Made In knows a thing or two about good cookware that doesn’t break the bank. Founded in 2017, they’ve rapidly distinguished themselves as an industry leader by delivering the best products at the best prices… a commitment that’s landed them in Forbes, GQ, Architectural Digest, and more.
Made In keeps it simple, combining craftsmanship, durability, and sleek designs. Their Stainless Steel line is powerful enough to be used in more than 100 Michelin-starred restaurants (like Le Bernardin in New York) and accessible enough to be used in nearly a million home kitchens.
While frequently associated with restaurant kitchens, Made In’s Stainless Steel is actually one of the best ways to rid your kitchen of chemicals and toxins and ensure durable & clean cooking for years and years and years. (I’m so passionate about this, I’ve become an expert. Let me explain.)
Clean Cooking Without All the Compromise
When I first unboxed this Stainless Steel 6-piece set, I was already in love. The polished surfaces gleam like they mean business (and let me assure you, they do). What impressed me the most was their weight—not too heavy to handle, but substantial enough to show their quality.
The 6-piece set costs $626 $529 and comes with the essentials for a clean-cooking reset: a 10” non-stick fry pan, a 10” stainless clad fry pan, a 2-quart saucepan, an 8-quart stock pot, and two fitted lids (you can also add a pasta insert or a pan protector set).
In addition to containing absolutely 0 harmful chemicals, this set is also non-reactive, meaning it doesn’t alter the taste of food… and it’s 100% safe for acidic or high-heat foods. There’s a reason the best restaurants in the world use these pans. I thought there’d be a learning curve to cook with these things, but they instantly became the easiest and most responsive pans I’ve ever used.
The USA and Italy-Made 5-Ply Stainless Steel Makes Cooking a Breeze
The difference between Made In and the cheap aluminum pans I used to use that would warp and chip is that Made In bonds 5 different layers of stainless steel to create a base for best-in-class heat conduction and even heating across the entire surface of the pan.
And here’s what big non-stick doesn’t want you to know… when used properly, stainless steel pans are non-stick. Check out this video on their Instagram of someone flipping pancakes around like it’s pure chemically-packed Teflon:
The premium construction also means this set is compatible with any stovetop (even best-in-class for induction) and oven-safe up to 800°F (500°F for the non-stick pan). I knew I was investing in a clean kitchen with Made In, but I didn’t realize I was getting an auto-upgrade to my cooking skills. I’m starting to see the art in this after all.
Made In Passed the Test of Daily Use With Flying Colors (Not Discoloration)
After months of using these pans nearly every single day (I got a bit carried away), these pans look as good as new. No warping, no discoloration, no telling evidence of a hidden layer of cheap-made material. Just pure, polished stainless steel that looks as good as the food tastes.
On top of their world-class durability, these pans are super easy to clean. Just a quick soak and a light scrub bring each piece back to its original luster. There’s something to be said about pans that don’t just cook clean but look clean, too. I came for the chemical-free meals, but I stayed for the unending stream of compliments I get from my guests.
With Made In, You Can Elevate, Simplify, and Purify Your Kitchen in One Fell Swoop
I didn’t realize how much joy cooking could bring until I upgraded my tools. Made In’s Stainless Steel cookware isn’t just cookware; it’s a commitment to cooking better, cleaner, and smarter.
It’s worth mentioning that Made In offers free shipping on orders over $49 and accepts returns or exchanges for up to 45 days. If you’re on the fence, here’s my advice: take the plunge. Your food—and your health—will thank you.
