This is the cheapest that I've seen this particular pan go for on Amazon.
$280 AUD RRP on the official website:

I'm a big fan of cast iron pans but stainless steel is better for acidic dishes.
CamelCamelCamel.
Made In branded cookware is used in professional kitchens. You are right that they are expensive but they are regarded as quality cookware.
Does it cook food better or just more longer lasting and durable?
Most stainless pans would last a lifetime I’d imagine. It could cook food better compared to lower quality cookware with more even heat distribution.
Quality cookware make frying eggs sticky?
Well, stainless steel is not great for eggs. If you want to cook eggs, I would recommend you look for non-stick or cast iron pans. If you really want to cook eggs on stainless steel then you should at least season the pan. If anything I've said doesn't make sense to you, I'd say you should avoid buying this pan to avoid giving yourself a bad time.
@2-1: I agree, stainless is very hard to get right for newbies. Once you know how to season, right temps for certain products, then it gets easier.
The only thing that turns me off this product is the Masterchef looking M, their products are landfill.
Do that brand also do induction cookware?
Just be careful, if you accidentally click the link and take 10 seconds to read, you might just find out. But if you are illiterate, just ask Siri or Alexa.
Extraodinary waste of money.
Understand professionals will value this.
Majority of people are not this though.
I don't need the Limousine of fry pans though.
Damn, very good price on the 3qt saucier too. I picked it up at $255 a couple of weeks back and thought that was pretty good, $199 now. It’s $165 USD on the made in US website.
Me too! Very annoyed considering Black Friday sales are suppose to be the best of the year
In which ways is it better comparing to cheaper brands when cooking food?
More (and hopefully thicker) layers = better heat distribution and retention.
need to improve my cooking skill to match this price tag
Love the review- absolute garbage
Thanks, got the 10" for $139.
Would get the 12" but our induction elements are too small.
The 12" pan has a 9.5" (24cm) cooking surface.
The absolute flat part is less than quoted. It's only about 19cm from the quoted 21cm on my ten inch pan. I'm on induction as well. Can recommend
Prefer 11” seems to happy medium between too small and too big
@Whodis: Afaik made in only make 10 or 12 stainless, but it's been a while since I bought mine. *from the official site
@Fullhalter: Yeah I know 11” is not that common. I found mostly Cristal and Demeyere made 11” when I was looking.
Thanks - these a great pans. Picked one up.
The Ikea steel pans will work just as well and if you do not know what the Leiden Frost effect is I would say stay away from stainless steel utensils… but do not use non stick pans for high heat cooking..These pans are meant for commercial use with a steel spatula constantly scraping the pan and the thick steel will last forever.. not worth it for a home master Chef.. IMHO .. but if you want the high end stuff.. go nuts
I've got the Made In sauteuse and very happy with it. Most of their cookware is made in Italy.
The only gripe with their fry pan which has put me off buying one is that the the walls are lower than other brands which means extra splatter to clean up
Noticed that although they are shipped by Amazon, they are sold by Made In Cookware International which is a recently launched retailer. Is there a cause of concern or am I thinking too much?
That does seem sus actually. Very barebones storefront, zero feedback and the about section just says 'Made In Cookware International is committed to providing each customer with the highest standard of customer service.'
Since it's shipped, and fulfilled by Amazon you're covered by Amazons protection and change of mind policies - so you'll be able to get a refund if you want, or if they don't actually send you the pan - but how would we confirm for sure whether the pans themselves are fakes..?
It doesn’t seem sus at all to me? It just seems like the official company just launched a store?
I ordered one last week and it’s arrived in the official packaging, but you could email the company directly for confirmation re: the store if you have concerns.
This is what most storefronts look like. Very obnoxious, lots of big photos, hard to navigate. (To be clear, I hate this - but this is just what amazon storefronts usually look like)
https://www.amazon.com.au/stores/nutribullet/page/69D5CE4B-9…
The lack of effort put into the 'Made In Cookware International' storefront, combined with the lack of feedback and detail is what seems sus to me.
Not saying it's definitely not legitimate - just that there's no real way of telling if it is without asking them directly, like you suggested.
This is a fair call - thanks for taking the time to research a bit further for us. I'll compare this with my mate's Made In set and report back if it doesn't feel right.
I could buy an entire kitchenware section for that price at Kmart. This pan doesn't even have a good Teflon coating, they probably charge extra for that :)
Teflon is poison why would you want that.
And Kmart pans are all you need to cook crap out of a can.
Please it’s called a microwave.
That’s crazy
Plenty of ignorant people in the thread who also seem to be poor. Not a coincidence I’m sure.
These are fairly well regarded. Also check out all-clad if you’re after a solid pan with good heat distribution
Stainless promotes cooking on really high heat which leads to a not very healthy end product.
You're over complicating it. Just cook at the right temperature for the intended food.
No, you are oversimplifying it, make it sound as if the cooking surface does not affect the way you cook.
With stainless preheating is a big thing, further, you would be unable tp cook on low. Preheating may burn the oil (produces harmful chemicals) and higher temperature cooking breaks down the food making it less healthy. More oil is needed as well.
Preheat and cook at the right temperature lol, skill issue for sure.
@quorg: The "right temperature" is different for different pans. No preheating is needed on some pans.
@Musiclover: If you’re not preheating all your pans, I’m not really going to trust your opinion on cooking.
@Whodis: Nonstick pans generally don't require preheating in the same way that stainless steel or cast iron pans do. In fact, preheating an empty nonstick pan can be detrimental to its coating.
At that price point you might as well go with Oz made ones, like solidteknics
Not for their stainless steel as part of the point of stainless steel is better heat retention for the cooking process. The Noni ones are single ply and as someone on reddit said, worst of all worlds
“This seems like a really bad concept to me, the price is on par with very high-end clad stainless or even copper which will vastly outperform it, and magnetic stainless steel will be just as sticky and impossible to take seasoning as 304/18-8.
Stainless is by far the least conductive of the cookware metals, its only real advantage is toughness and it's harder to corrode than most, which is why it's almost always sandwiched around a more conductive metal. Their marketing language about "ferritic" stainless being twice as conductive as austenitic stainless, and therefore not needing a conductive layer, probably relies on customers not understanding just how poorly stainless conducts heat. Twice as conductive as 304 stainless is still only about 60% as conductive as carbon steel, 13% for aluminum, or less than 8% for copper.
Outside of the rivetless construction this is sort of the worst of all worlds at a premium price. The only people I can imagine actually wanting it while understanding what they're getting are the ones who are paranoid about nickel in stainless steel, and otherwise try to tolerate cooking on insulators like Visions glass, Xtrema ceramic, etc.“
This guy swears by the IKEA SENSUELL SS pans, which would be more than enough for most people:
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16076802/redir
You won't find a better value triclad SS pan than the SENSUELL.
The IKEA pan is thicker than most triclad stainless pan, but for the price I would highly recommend it.
Why so expensive?
