Discover Made In's New Cast Iron Collection: Timeless Style Meets Modern Performance

This collection is a fantastic addition to any kitchen, as Made In enters the cast-iron market with a dedicated range of cookware.

I've always valued cast iron cookware for its outstanding durability and ability to enhance flavors, but Made In's offerings have captured my attention with their stunning vintage aesthetic, crafted for optimal performance without needing extensive seasoning.

Exclusively available at Williams Sonoma, the collection includes various frying pans, a Dutch oven, a braiser, and a two-handled skillet, all designed for both indoor and outdoor cooking — perfect for your summertime gatherings. Here's why I'm eager to try it out.

Available Sizes

The Made In® Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet comes in three sizes: 8", 10", and 12". Each frying pan is made from high-performance cast iron that evenly retains and distributes heat, making it excellent for searing, roasting, frying, and baking.

I'm a fan of Made In for their dedication to producing non-toxic cookware, including their Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven that I've previously reviewed. Their products consistently earn high ratings in our hands-on evaluations, making them some of the finest in the kitchen.

This new line is constructed from chef-grade, American-made cast iron, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 900°F. It can be used on all types of stovetops (including induction), your favorite grill, and even for campfire cooking—making it a perfect pre-summer purchase.

Moreover, the hand-finished cookware arrives pre-seasoned, providing a smooth cooking surface that enhances heat-up time, ensures quick food release, and improves with each use. Plus, the chef-inspired 'bowl' corners prevent food from getting stuck, making cleanup a breeze.

What I find most fascinating is the manufacturing process behind these pans. Made In employs a unique lathing and ceramic tumbling technique to create a surface that is both smoother and lighter, offering the performance reminiscent of vintage cookware while maintaining modern durability. As someone who enjoys cooking extensively, both for personal pleasure and professionally as a Kitchen Appliances Editor, I am eager to see how much of a difference this makes in my cooking experience and whether it eases any strain on my wrists.

Even if nothing changes, the vintage cast iron design adds a touch of rustic charm to any kitchen, making it both functional and visually appealing. I wouldn't want to hide such beautiful cookware; it deserves a spot on my countertop as a decorative element.

The collection is currently available at Williams Sonoma and will launch at Made In in early June.
