Cites even heating (against)

At 275 degrees, it evaporated much quicker but it still wasn't ready.
The same thing happened as I tested it all the way up to 390 degrees.
At 400 degrees, the water balled up briefly at the center of the pan but evaporated when it flowed to the sides.
This continued at 410 and 417, although the water balls lasted slightly longer as the pan got hotter.
At 430 degrees I noticed something interesting. When I dropped the water in the pan, it bounced around until it landed on a spot where water previously evaporated.
Finally, the Leidenfrost Effect was fully achieved when the pan reached 450 degrees Fahrenheit at the center.

I'm getting a nice crispy edge all around that egg.
How's the underc carriage look? Yeah, it's actually very nice. Little bit of browning. You got a little bit of crisp. The crisp is really nice.
So, I didn't actually take the pan heat above medium at all. I was kind of like low to medium the whole way pretty much. So, this thing definitely retains heat very well indeed, I must say. Like, there's still tons of heat in this. And this has been off the heat for about almost 10 minutes. So that's really good.

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.

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.

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.

Cites ease of cleaning, even heating, heat conduction, learning curve, size and capacity

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

Made In recently opened a branded shop in Austin, Texas, near its headquarters but it's not available in any other retail stores so you can't pick it up and look at it in person before you buy it.

Like I'm coming from this which I've had forever which is a three ply but a similar weight to that. Honestly, this is lighter. So, I would say that these are lighter for sure.
