Roundup: Made In MDW cookware sale Tout

Serious Eats / Madison Woiten

Over the years, we’ve tested nearly every piece of kitchen equipment under the sun, and we’re especially passionate about stainless steel cookware. From small saucepans to large rondeaus, our favorites rise to the top only after rigorous performance and durability tests. 

For years, Made In has continued to impress our editors with its stainless steel skillets, its stainless steel saucier, and its sauté pan. We even recommended its cookware set — a rarity for us, as we personally believe the best cookware set is the one you build yourself. While investing in high quality stainless steel cookware might seem like a splurge, Amazon has deals on Made In that we couldn’t help but notice, including $150 off one of our favorite dinnerware sets.

Editor’s Picks From Made In’s Memorial Day Weekend Sale

The Best Stainless Steel Skillets

The Made In 10-inch and 12-inch skillets were top performers during our skillet tests. Their 5-ply construction meant quick and even heating that produced perfect crepes and beautifully seared chicken breasts. It was also comfortable to hold — something we can’t say about all stainless steel skillets. While each skillet is on sale independently, you can get the best deal on the 3-piece set at $30 off, which includes the 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch skillet.

While we believe that the perfect cookware set is one you assemble yourself, we wanted to find the best options for those who might be starting out or replacing worn-out gear. Made In’s 6-piece stainless steel cookware set is $30 off and has the essentials, with the addition of a nonstick pan for more delicate cooking. All of the pieces heated evenly and the flared rims on the pots made for easy pouring.

One of the Best Stainless Steel Rondeaus

Stainless Clad Rondeau

Amazon Made In Cookware - 6 Quart Stainless Steel Rondeau Pot

Amazon

A cross between a sauté pan and a brasier, the rondeau is a versatile piece of cookware that can sear, stew, shallow fry, slow cook, and more. During our tests, the Made In rondeau made flavorful beef stroganoff, perfectly braised chicken and cabbage, and was easy to maneuver despite its size. Half way between a shallow pot and a tall pan, it has a 12-inch diameter and 6-quart capacity, making it large enough to whip up one-pot meals for a crowd.

A Great Butter Warmer

Amazon Made In Cookware - 3/4 Quart Stainless Steel Butter Warmer

Amazon

Made In’s 2-quart saucepan is our favorite from various tests of small saucepans, and while it isn’t on sale, it’s smaller sibling, the ¾-quart butter warmer, is. Sometimes, you just need a saucepan big enough to warm a bit of milk, melt a few tablespoons of butter, or or whip up the smallest amount of lemon curd. For those moments, the ¾-quart butter warmer is the perfect piece of cookware to complete small tasks with ease. Right now, you can save $10 on this little, but majorly helpful saucepan.
