The Pan: Made In Frying Pan ($75)
The Specs: The stainless-steel pan is made with five layers of sheets of four different metals to create a professional-grade choice.
What I Cooked in It: I learned that this pan is great for heat retention, and that's great for searing. My parents helped me sear some scallops and other seafood on this, and they were amazing.
My Favourite Feature: Most pans like this don't come with lids, but what I thought was genius about this brand is that you can buy the Frying Pan Silicone Universal Lid ($59) to use when you need it. The size makes it easy to use on pretty much anything from any brand.
Why It's Worth It: I learned that most other brands with similar stainless-steel options offer this kind of quality for a lot more money. Made In is focussed on cutting out the middle man and selling these directly to consumers for more reasonable prices.
