Skip it for now. It scores 72, well short of the 80 a Keeper needs. The weakest part is the makers' track record.

Where the 72 comes from

Warranty23/30

Lifetime warranty on stainless clad against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It excludes wear and changes in appearance, staining, thermal shock, misuse and dishwasher use, and claims need an order number or a receipt.

Build27/30

5-ply, 2.7mm build with an 18/10 stainless exterior and aluminum core, oven safe to 800F, made in Italy and the US.

Track record10/20

Made In sold its first stainless clad pan in 2017, out of a family kitchen supply business in Boston that dates to 1929.

Repairable12/20

There are no coatings to wear out, so stains and dullness scrub off, but there is no repair service listed.

How the score works

Things

  • Warranty, 30. What the company will actually fix or replace, read from their own policy.
  • Build, 30. Materials and construction, and whether there's anything to wear out.
  • Track record, 20. How long the maker has been making this well.
  • Repairable, 20. Whether you can get it fixed instead of replacing it.

A Keeper is our bet on what lasts. Some releases show it right away: the reviews, the players and the people behind them all point the same way, the way they did for Elden Ring. For albums, games, films and shows, 85 or above is a Keeper and 75 to 84 is worth your time. Things need 80. We score everything again as time goes by, and a Keeper that fades loses the label. Nobody pays to be here or pays for a score. Every score links to where its numbers came from. Each one has a link to find it on Amazon, and as an Amazon Associate, Keepers earns from qualifying purchases.
