Helping chefs and home cooks procure the highest quality set of cookware to use in restaurants and their own kitchens is the goal of the kitchenware company MADE IN. Coming from a multi-generational kitchen supply business located in Boston, Massachusetts, Jake Kalick partnered with childhood friend and business mastermind Chip Malt to co-found the business in 2017.
They set out to build a cookware line that will “last a lifetime” and that “chefs actually want to use” by crafting their products with the world’s best raw materials. And it seems they’ve nailed it. With their network of over 2,000 chefs globally, they have the endorsements to back it up.
Which MADE IN Product Is Sold at Costco?
One of their most popular cookware sets – in an exclusive color – is now sold at Costco. The MADE IN 4-Piece CeramiClad Non-Stick Frying Pan Set features 2 frying pans – a 12- and 10-inch, with 2 fitted silicone pan protectors.
The pans are made with 5-ply construction with a ceramic coating that’s free of PFAS, PFOAS, PTFE, BPA, lead and cadmium and is naturally nonstick.
Functionality, Durability of MADE IN Cookware
The pans are cladded for even heating and longer lasting performance, per the maker. The pan protectors should be housed between the pans for storage to avoid scratching, scuffing or damaging the surfaces.
The lightweight, yet durable frying pans can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops as well as the oven and grill, as they’re safe up to 550 degrees with a “stay-cool handle”. It’s recommended to hand wash the cookware, yet the silicone liners are dishwasher safe.
The co-founders’ goals were to make their cookware free from harmful chemicals, beautifully crafted for performance and nonstick and easy to clean, and the rave reviews solidify the achievement.
What Are Fans Saying About This Cookware?
“I’ve been curious about these pans for a bit, as I’ve seen a lot of chefs rave about them. There are 100% correct! The non stick works flawlessly, the heat retention is great, and the color combo is easy on the eyes. I have bought competitor ceramic pans before, and these leave the others in the dust”, said one person.
“In over 50 years of using various nonstick pans these are the VERY best I have ever owned and used. Highly recommended that users follow the cooking instructions, tips and guides provided by the company. Because of construction the pans heat up at a lower temperature and cook more evenly than other pans”, exclaimed another reviewer.
Others are calling them “supreme pans”, “the best skillets ever”, “easy to use and clean” and “heavy duty”, with “incredible nonstick performance”. A few folks wish they offered an 8-inch skillet that matches the Costco set, and another desires lids for the skillets.
The Costco exclusive, online only set retails for $229.99, with a current sale price of $179.99, for a $50 savings. If you’re interested, don’t sleep on it, as the sale ends September 14.
