Fun Summer Colors for a Seriously Well-Made Pan

Made In, a direct-to-consumer cookware company that sources and manufactures in the United States, has launched a Summer Fry Pan Collection. The bright colors—Bikini Blue, Fresh Cut Green, Popsicle Red—are the icing on the cake.

The colors are fun, but the five-ply stainless steel pans are high-performing and seriously well-made. After testing them out in the kitchen for a couple of weeks, I found they conducted heat evenly and surprisingly quickly compared to my regular cast iron pan. The clean-up was also much easier.

The pans are made of 18/10 stainless steel, induction compatible, and oven- and dishwasher-safe.

Co-founder Jake Kalick said manufacturing in the U.S. gives the company a competitive advantage.

“We are able to easily be onsite at the factory with little notice and we are able to quickly bring new products to market because we work so closely with the entire supply chain,” he said. “An example of this is our saucier pan—this item was frequently requested by customers, and we were able to take it from concept to market in two months.”

$89 for a 10-inch pan; $99 for a 12-inch pan. MadeInCookware.com
