If you’ve spent any time browsing our cookware reviews, you know that Le Creuset, Staub, and All-Clad regularly rank among our top picks. It’s not a cookware conspiracy or favoritism. Those brands are built on decades of durability and craftsmanship. But a new kid on the block, Made In, has quickly joined the ranks of these legacy brands.

Since it launched with a stainless-clad frying pan in 2017, the Austin, TX-based company has built a loyal following among chefs—and among us on the BA shopping team. We’ve found the brand’s Dutch oven to be a more affordable alternative to Le Creuset; my colleague Wilder Davies says the 5-ply stainless steel pan rivals his longtime favorite All-Clad D3; and I plan to use the brand’s flatware until I die. And Made In’s CeramiClad frying pan has earned a spot on our list of the best nonstick pans.

I first tried Made In’s original nonstick pan (now called the Procoat Nonstick line) in early 2024 and liked it. The 12-inch pan I tested was super slick, nicely weighted, and had great heat distribution thanks to a 5-ply stainless clad base. But in early 2025, BA stopped recommending traditional (Teflon-coated) nonstick cookware, so I had to look for a worthy replacement. I didn’t have to look hard: Made In had recently released Ceramiclad—an alternative to its traditional nonstick pans with a ceramic-coated nonstick cooking surface that’s free of PFAS, PTFE, PFOA, lead, and cadmium.

I loved cooking in it even more than I loved cooking in the brand’s original nonstick pan. The Ceramiclad pan has a 5-ply stainless-clad base—just like the original Procoat pan—so it feels sturdier than most ceramic nonstick pans. And the sand-colored ceramic nonstick coating is just as slick as the original Procoat cooking surface, even after months of use.

It’s the only pan I reach for when I want to make eggs and quesadillas. And because it’s so slick and easy to clean with a soft sponge and soapy water, I also use it for lots of other things when I want to put the absolute bare minimum into hand-washing my dinner dishes.

The sand-colored cooking surface is aesthetically pleasing and makes it easy to see if you’ve turned your heat up a little too high. And while the ceramic coating only comes in that one color, the stay-cool handle is available in two finishes: brushed stainless steel and antique brass.
