With America’s 250th birthday upon us, there’s an influx of folks seeking out cookware made in the U.S. Not only does shopping for American-made options support local industry, but it also ensures that the materials used comply with strict FDA safety guidelines. That means there’s no lead, microplastics or PTFE sneaking into unexpected places.
But why not go a little further and make one purchase serve two purposes? Made In, the brand behind the TikTok-famous blue carbon-steel pans, recently launched a summer-ready line perfect for the grill. Here’s everything you should know about these classy new cast-iron pans.
Made In Cast-Iron Cookware
These pans are pre-seasoned, so they arrive ready to use.
What is the new Made In cast-iron collection?
Made In doesn’t make your average cast-iron skillets. Each piece comes pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil, so there’s no complicated prep required before putting your new pans to use. Plus, the pans are all made in the U.S. and come with a generous lifetime warranty, so you can ensure you’re making a smart investment. But those aren’t the only qualities that set this cookware apart.
First, they’re easier to clean than typical cast-iron pans thanks to a bowl-shaped design. This eliminates any crevices or edges inside the cooking surface, meaning fewer trapped particles and burned-on bits. Hand-finished details—including seasoning each pan by hand—and a 16-step manufacturing process ensure that each piece arrives in perfect condition. This dedication to detail also gives Made-In cast iron cookware a smoother, lighter build.
Our Top Picks
Seasoned Cast-Iron Skillet
Is there anything the Made-In skillet can’t do? If so, we haven’t found it. Slap it on a grill or over a live fire during the summertime for flawless cookouts. It also performs well indoors during the cooler months thanks to its induction-friendly build. Gorgeously polished and pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil, the pan also offers pour spouts for removing grease or plating sauces. The skillet is available as a three-piece set or as 8, 10 and 12-inch skillets.
Seasoned Cast-Iron Dutch Oven
Hand-poured and cast in a single American foundry, the Made-In cast-iron Dutch oven offers all the versatility of a cast-iron pan, married with the tall edges of your favorite Dutch oven. It’s ideal for braises, breads, chili, and even deep-frying. The walls are slightly thinner than the bottom, reducing the pot’s overall weight and ensuring the sides retain even heat.
Seasoned Cast-Iron Butter Warmer
Small yet mighty, the seasoned cast-iron butter warmer keeps butter, ghee and sauces at the perfect temperature. Whether you’re making a delicate sauce for a seafood cookout or whipping up a batch of cowboy butter for burgers, it’s the ideal sidekick. The small footprint also allows this tiny pan to slide right onto the grill or cooking surface without taking up much room. You can even use it to roast garlic and make clarified butter for popcorn!
Pollo Plug
What is a Pollo Plug, you might ask? While it looks a bit like a tripod, this clever stainless steel device fits a whole bird stably and upright on your cast-iron pan. It ensures that each side of the roast gets nice and crispy, so you don’t end up with an overly soggy bottom or dry sides. Those using it over a pan of onions or potatoes can also utilize the drippings for extra flavor. It’s oven-safe up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit and, of course, works well on a grill or over an open flame. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe for easy post-meal cleanup.
