this is two separate pieces that are bonded together that have the base and the upper shell and the marriage here is absolutely perfect

so cast doesn't absorb energy as quickly as atlantis atlantis really is amazing how fast

so using the cookware makes you a better cook so that's a big bold claim for me to to make but it just does

if i'm using a lower quality piece of cookware and i'm using a piece of atlantis things may take a little bit more time things don't react so incredibly quickly in a piece of atlantis so i need to be more patient but the balance to that is that things turn out so incredibly well all the time

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…

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

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

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.

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.
