Made In Review
Made In was founded by Malt and Kalick in 2013. They were driven by a simple idea. High-quality cookware should not only be affordable for home cooks, but also not prohibitively expensive. They sell directly to customers and not through retailers.
There are many options for cookware, including ceramic, stainless steel and nonstick enamel. Their cookware is also nonstick enamel and PFOA-free.
Their cookware is easy-to-clean and won't rust like traditional stainless. They're also safe to use on induction and gas cooktops, a major plus for any serious cook.
The company's best-selling product, a 14-piece cookware set, received a five-star rating from testers for performance, ease of use, durability and price. The stockpot, saucepans, and frying pans have an aluminum core sandwiched between stainless-steel and a nonstick coating called "Stratanium technology". This combination of materials gives more even heat distribution that most cookware. This reduces hot spots, and allows food to brown evenly.
Scanpans Review
Scanpans' multilayered construction impressed our testers. The pans combine aluminum and ceramic with Stratanium technology by the company to improve scratch and dent resistance. The handles of the pans are easy to use, keep cool and can be washed in the dishwasher.
Hexclad Review
HexClad XT cookware is a hybrid that combines the benefits of nonstick and stainless steel. According to its makers the XT is capable of sear and impart heat to the surface just like cast-iron, but it has more consistent temperature control that nonstick. It's also heat-conducting so it's a good choice for induction cooking.
Although the nonstick coating repels stains and is easy-to-clean, it can be scratched easily. It's important to wash and dry the surface before it is stored so that it can last longer.
Investing in a high-quality set of pots and pans can make all the difference when it comes to preparing tasty meals, but finding the right set isn't always easy. You should choose a set with several sizes.
Ceramic or stainless steel cookware sets are the best choice for a glasstop stove. They're lightweight and won’t scratch or smear. It is important to remember that pots and pans heavy can be cumbersome to lift from the glass top stove.
