Compare Non-Stick Pans
Made In ProCoat 10-Inch Nonstick Frying Pan scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
This pan uses a ceramic coating — no Teflon, no PFAS chemicals. Independent lab testing of ceramic pans consistently finds zero PFAS. Unlike PTFE coatings, ceramic cannot release toxic fumes at high heat.
Made In ProCoat discloses PTFE in the product line name and AB1200 filing. FDA-approved for food contact. Modern PTFE made without PFOA — but PTFE is still a PFAS compound.
California requires cookware brands to list all intentionally added chemicals on their website. KitchenAid has not published this disclosure page — we can't independently verify what's in the coating beyond the brand's own marketing.
Made In's AB1200 page explicitly lists PTFE, FEP, and PFA for the ProCoat line — full chemical disclosure.
Rated oven-safe to 500°F — high enough for most roasting, broiling, and finishing tasks. The limit is set by the stainless steel handle spec, not the ceramic coating itself.
500°F is ATK's maximum safe-use ceiling for PTFE — the degradation threshold where PTFE can begin releasing fumes. Made In meets this threshold exactly.
Hard-anodized aluminum is the gold standard base for nonstick pans. It heats evenly — no hot spots that would burn food or degrade the coating early. More durable than regular aluminum.
5-ply stainless clad distributes heat evenly and enables induction compatibility. Same base construction as Made In's premium stainless cookware.
KitchenAid does not disclose how many layers of ceramic coating are applied. More layers generally means longer durability — this is information we'd expect a transparent brand to share.
2 coating layers is CI's minimum tested threshold. More susceptible to wear than 3+ layer designs. Use medium heat and avoid metal utensils to extend coating life.
This pan won't work on induction cooktops. If you have or are planning an induction range or portable induction burner, this pan cannot be used — it lacks the ferromagnetic base required.
5-ply stainless outer layer provides full induction compatibility with no warping risk. Works on all cooktops.
KitchenAid has not published the weight for this pan. We score this neutrally — no penalty, no bonus — until the spec is confirmed.
At CI's ideal weight ceiling for a 10-inch pan. Easy to lift and pour one-handed.
Stainless steel handle is oven-safe to 500°F and won't melt or degrade. Downside: it conducts heat, so use a mitt during stovetop cooking if the pan has been on the burner a while.
Hollow Stay Cool stainless handle dissipates heat better than solid stainless. Fully oven-safe to 500°F. Use an oven mitt for anything above 5 minutes of stovetop use.
Technically dishwasher-safe, but ceramic coatings last significantly longer with hand washing. Harsh dishwasher detergents and high-heat drying cycles degrade ceramic surfaces over time.
Hand-wash only — the right recommendation for PTFE pans. Dishwasher detergents and high heat degrade nonstick coatings.
Lifetime warranty — KitchenAid backs this pan for as long as you own it for manufacturing defects. That's the strongest warranty commitment available in this category.
Made In states lifetime warranty for ProCoat. Note: some customer reports cite 1-year warranty — confirm with brand before purchasing if warranty is important.
We were unable to confirm a current price for this pan. Check Amazon (ASIN B09BNPNKRT) or Williams Sonoma for live pricing.
At $149, this is priced well above WC's recommended nonstick range. Nonstick pans have a 3-5 year coating lifespan — the premium price is harder to justify vs. the Viking Hard Anodized at $49.99 with comparable scores.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You cook on gas or electric and want a PFAS-free ceramic pan with a lifetime warranty.
You are comfortable trusting brand-level ceramic claims without published AB1200 regulatory documentation.
The stainless steel handle and 500°F oven-safe rating fit your cooking style.
You prioritize coating safety over versatility and do not need induction compatibility.
You already use Made In cookware and want a matching nonstick pan with the same 5-ply stainless base
You're comfortable with disclosed PTFE and want induction-encapsulated performance for precise heat control
You'll hand-wash and use medium heat — proper care can extend a 2-layer coating well beyond the 3-5 year benchmark
The main thing to know
KitchenAid has not published a California chemical disclosure page (required since January 2023), which means buyers have to take the brand's PFAS-free claim on faith without regulatory documentation — and the pan doesn't work on induction cooktops.
At $149, this is the most expensive pan in this batch — and it uses PTFE with 2 coating layers. If budget allows, the GreenPan Venice Pro offers ceramic (PFAS-free) at similar pricing with more coating layers.
Skip this if you...
You cook on an induction cooktop — this pan won't work on induction cooktops.
You require independent AB1200 chemical transparency before purchasing — KitchenAid has not published this disclosure page.
You want a PFAS-free coating — this is PTFE, not ceramic
You're price-comparing — Viking Hard Anodized ($49.99) scores nearly as high with 3 layers
You're uncertain about the warranty — Made In's ProCoat warranty term (1-year vs. lifetime) is ambiguous
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
I've reviewed all Non Stick Pans options at every price pointEvery Non-Stick Pans in our database is scored using R3's deterministic scoring system - the same inputs always produce the same score.

Straight answers - no sponsored content, no filler.
I'd start with Made In Made In ProCoat 10-Inch Nonstick Frying Pan - it scored 6.9/10 overall in our scoring system. Safety is our top-weighted scoring pillar, followed by efficacy, and usability. Check which pillar matters most to your family and compare those specific scores.
R3 uses a deterministic scoring system - the same inputs always produce the same score. We evaluate each Non-Stick Pans across Safety, Efficacy, Usability using independently verified data. No sponsored rankings. No paid placements. Every score is fully reproducible.
Not necessarily. The overall score reflects our weighted rubric, but your priorities may differ. If you care most about safety, compare the safety scores directly. If budget drives your decision, the prices tell a clearer story. The "right" pick is the one that matches what matters most to your family.
