Made In Cookware - Seasoned 8" Blue Carbon Steel Frying Pan - (Like Cast Iron, but Better) - Professional Cookware - Crafted in Sweden - Induction Compatible

I'm not talking about seasoning/stickiness mess, first of all pan definitely not heating evenly. I tried ceramic and induction but result was still same. Central location of the pan is heating rapidly and more, and the edges are alyway cold, to prevent food from sticking you have to make sure pan is not heating too much or have to use alot of oil.... With this kind of price tag you can buy some real cast iron pods even 2 or 3 pieces... or buy some high quality non-stock pans and switch them in every one year.... I really hated myself after paying 130 euro just for this crap....

The pan is a little more hard work than most. Even though pre-seasoned it suggests doing another season (placed in oven at a high temp after oiling for about an hour) for better non-stick. Food stuck regardless of me doing this. Further oiling is needed after each wash which isn't easy when food sticks.

Love this frying pan but it is crucial to season it properly. Once you've done that it cooks and cleans up nicely. So glad I decided against cast iron which was my first choice but hate the weight of cast.

The first thing I noticed taking the pan out of the package was a chip on the rim of the pan. Not a big deal, but for the price of this pan it’s a shame. Searing burgers actually stripped my pans seasoning at 550F. I had to re-season the pan with grape seed oil after the first burger cooked in it. I really hope I don’t have to baby this like a non-stick. It also did not pass the fried egg test with several tablespoons of beef tallow. I’ll do some more gentle cooking with this pan on medium, but the lodge at $30 is look like a better pan. The pan seems to stick on the edges and has a 50 degree drop in temperature from the center. I have a Wolf gas range using the large burner. I would say the 12” is too large to heat evenly and I regret getting the 12” and wish I had gotten a 10”. Edit: my previous review was 2/5 stars, but I have changed mind on the brand as WHOLE because their customer service reached out to me and was extremely helpful. I plan on trying some more of their cookware in the future just because their customer service was so good. To be clear I edited this review on my own accord. I have not had good experiences with other brands reps, so Made In really impressed me.

Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong frying pan. I wanted a non-stick one. This catbon steel one does not suit my cooking. It was expensive so I really regret the mistake.
