so that's the big big advantage of why you would spend money on atlantis and on proline is that it gives you that nice buffer things happen more slowly heat kind of moves through the pan up and down at a slower rate and you don't find all of a sudden you've gone from kind of browning to burning it just doesn't happen…

it is you know the capacity in terms of the searing is much much higher with a prolong okay and i would even say it's disproportional um when you consider the 30 percent temperature sorry when you consider the 30 percent weight difference okay it seems that this perline can handle much much more in you know relative…

in the last video i i said that um even with a 28 centimeter model pro line i was able to beautifully seal ten chicken drumsticks and that's a pretty heavy load you know 10 chicken drumsticks that's what is a kilogram or maybe even more medium sized chicken drumsticks

so in that sense the pro line for me is also an easier pen it's a more friendly pen to use because it gives you a larger margin for error and that was you know in my cooking test and that was very easy to see

this is 2.4 kilograms so the 28 centimeter model of the problem 7 is still heavier than the 32 centimeter version of the industry 5. okay and this is able to give you that really beautiful sear it's able to take a much higher load compared to this 32 centimeter industry 5.

And I like this little thing. So, you can just hang them up. Very nice little hole.

Hands are nice. Not too heavy. Handles are really good. They feel fantastic in the hand.

But the weight is good.

I wipe this out just to blot off some of the grease. That's what you got left. That's not bad.

Not much in the pan. As you can see, I've wiped it out.

And because it's got like a kind of satin finish, there's no slip on it. So, I've got a really good grip.

The sidewalls of the frying pans have too shallow of a slope. This design, plus the flared rims, makes it easy to slide food onto a plate but it also makes it easier to spill and splatter.

The rivets on the Made In pan I got years ago jet out further than most brands. It's hard to clean around the rivets so oil and food bits would often bake into the pan.

Still they don't offer flush rivets or rivetless options like several other brands.

I mentioned that I like the handle design but I need to call out the handle angle. Made In handles are almost even with the top of the pan. You can fit the pan in the oven with less space between racks but since the handle isn't angled upward like most, your hand is a little bit closer to the heat.

Also, there's a small space where the handle bends that's extremely difficult to clean unless you scrub it with a toothbrush.

The third feature is its brushed exterior. While I appreciate a shiny polished finish, I really like the matte look of Made In pants. They do a great job hiding fingerprints and smudges and it's a more modern look in my opinion.

Overall I love the design of Made In pans but I have one minor complaint.

Number one is the handle design. It's flat on the top and bottom so you have plenty of control when tilting but it's rounded and smooth on the sides so it's comfortable to hold.

Number two, the lid handle and helper handles are large. You can fit your entire hand around them for a firm grip.

Fortunately Made In made some updates and the rivets on the pans made today are much flatter.

And it can handle up to 800 degrees in the oven.

Based on my real-world testing, Made In lives up to the hype.

As the water heated up, tiny bubbles were uniform across the entire cooking surface, which indicates even heat distribution.

I've run this test with 20 other brands and Made In was the second fastest to boil the water, which is a good thing, but surprising considering the pan is relatively thick.

As you can see in the chart, Made In had the highest water temperature after 10 minutes.

The last feature I'll highlight is the large cooking surface. The diameter of the 12-inch fry pan's cooking surface is 9.5 inches. Most 12-inch pans are closer to 9 inches, so you get a little more flat space to cook.

there's also a reliability benefit if you were to weld a pan and handle together you can sometimes get a very strong bond but if that weld is done poorly you will never know that it's done poorly until the day comes where you have a giant pan full of hot food and the handle snaps right off in an instant and your food…

personally I think Maiden has made the right choice here they have found a balance that it makes it a joy to cook with every day

this pan has all around the surface rolled rims that stick out allowing you to pour liquids or slide delicate Foods off of the pan without fear of spills or leaks down the side of the pan wall

Maiden also uses flattened handles with subtle indents for better grip when you're tilting the pan or pouring something out of it and it also has smooth smooth Corners around the edge of the handle for better Comfort while you're cooking

this handle also has a Hol core which keeps it cool while cooking on the stove top and cuts down on extra weight

So, the handle is supposed to be stay cool. Closer to here is definitely hot. you will burn yourself. But up here at the minute, it is definitely cooler. Um, I'm not sure after a long extended use if I would say that that is a really stay cool handle. So, that's one potential little ding there.

the cooking surface of the 12-in pan is 9.5 in across which is slightly larger than most Maiden has some steeper walls giving it a larger cooking surface so you get a little extra food that you can cook on your pan

I don't mind having these two little protrusions and as you can see there's not a whole lot of food that has gotten stuck in or around that area

once you have mastered the art of preheating your pan before you put food on it you can confidently cook most foods without any fear of stuck on food

if you do happen to burn food on your pan you can always soak it you can toss it in the dishwasher and in really extreme cases I've always found that baking soda and vinegar gets the job done
