Misen

Misen was born in 2015 in New York when it launched a Kickstarter and raised over $1.7 million to bring its direct-to-consumer vision to life. Since its launch, Misen has been endorsed by multiple media outlets and has gained nearly 70,000 followers on Instagram. Misen cookware is designed for anyone who loves to cook, from professional chefs to home cooks and everyone in between. 

The brand name "Misen" comes from the French culinary term "mise en place" (pronounced MEEZ-ahn-plahs), meaning to put in place. Part of mise en place is to have the right tools ready before you need to cook, and Misen's motto is that "people should have access to quality tools at affordable prices. Because no matter your skill level, quality kitchen tools will help you cook better."

Why Misen?

  • Misen offers a wide range of cookware and kitchenware. 
  • Prices are kept low by selling directly to customers, cutting out the middlemen.
  • Products are made with high-quality materials and put through a rigorous testing process. 
  • Thoughtful designs are made to enhance usability.

Made In

Made In is another startup from Austin, Texas, that joined the ever-expanding direct-to-consumer marketplace in 2017.

As a result, the brand has received endorsements from media outlets such as Business Insider and Forbes. 

Made In is now used in hotel groups and 3-star Michelin restaurants throughout America, and with good reason. They specialize in producing top-performing 5-ply stainless steel-clad cookware for half the price of their competitors.

From Our Reviewer

"Aside from its superior cooking capabilities, one of my favorite aspects of the Always Pan is its thoughtful design," says Kelly Weimert, who reviewed the Always Pan for Living Cozy. "The design features all sorts of thoughtful details that set it apart from its competition, like a built-in spoon rest that perfectly holds the pan's included beechwood spatula, helping to keep your cooking area tidy.

The Fry Pan also boasts Caraway's signature nonstick coating, stainless steel handles, and an anodized aluminum core. It's perfect for slide-off-the-pan eggs, sautéed veggies, and more.

By nonstick, they mean seriously nonstick, not just a little bit...like you wonder if a frying egg will stay in the pan as you swish it around."

Blanc Creatives

Blanc Creatives was established in 2012 in Charlottesville, Virginia, by Corry Blanc. The brand sells a wide range of kitchenware, from roasters and skillets to cutting boards, and everything is handmade. Blanc Creatives is devoted to time-honored craftsmanship methods and aims to reintroduce handcrafted goods to today's homes. 

Blanc Creatives makes each product last for generations to come, focusing on functionality and form. Their cookware is made from carbon steel, which offers all the benefits of cast iron pans without the limitations.

The Pro Roaster is a light pan great for stovetop eggs, frittatas, baking, small roasts, fajitas, and more. The Pro Saucier is a versatile pan with loop handles designed to save space in the oven and stove. It's an all-around workhorse that can handle anything that can be done in one pan, from roasted veggies to bacon and eggs.

Field Company cast iron pans are dependable and designed to last a lifetime, like any good cast iron cookware. These versatile pans can do everything from skillet cookies to holiday roasts. Field Company pans come pre-seasoned and according to customer reviews, they take seasoning well.

Whether you're a long-time fan of cast iron cookware or new to cast iron, we recommend the Field Company No. 8 Cast Iron Skillet. It's lighter and smoother than your average cast iron pan, with a naturally nonstick surface. Cast iron skillets work well for frying, sauteing, roasting, and searing. The more you cook on your skillet, the more nonstick the seasoning will become (especially with foods like bacon, roasted vegetables, or anything fried). 

Ensembl

Ensembl was founded by Kate Swanson, a former lawyer whose struggle with storage space inspired her brand. Between 2012 and 2018, Kate practiced at a global law firm and lived the apartment life. After living in six different apartments, each with worse storage than the previous one, Kate developed and patented a removable handle to bring her cookware brand to life. 

Today, Ensembl sells a collection of high-performance cookware known as Stackware for everyday use. And according to Kate, it's only the beginning. The brand is guided by three core principles: radical improvement, form as function, and consciously creating. With a solutions-oriented approach, Ensembl has quickly gained a large following, and they don't seem to be slowing down any time soon.

All-Clad

All-Clad has become the industry standard for clad stainless steel cookware. Their products are high-quality, time-tested, and still made in the US. All-Clad sells tri-ply stainless steel cookware with an aluminum core, known as the D3 line, in addition to the copper core, hard-anodized nonstick, enameled carbon steel, and several other lines. 

All-Clad was founded in 1971 by John Ulam, a renowned metallurgist with over 75 metal crafting patents and an avid home cook. Ulam bonded layers of stainless steel with aluminum and shaped his creation into pans, giving birth to All-Clad cookware and the cladding process used throughout the industry today. This newly bonded surface didn't alter flavors or warp; as a bonus, it was easy to clean. So, John Ulam raised the company and opened a factory near his hometown in Western Pennsylvania soon after.

Expertly crafted with everyday versatility, the Round Dutch oven can handle everything from braising and roasting to frying. Available in a range of sizes and colors, you could find yourself wanting more than one. To top it off, it's also the lightest cast iron Dutch oven on the market.

T-Fal

T-Fal was founded in 1956 by Marc Grégoire, the creator of nonstick cookware. Grégoire was inspired by his wife, who requested that he coat her pots and pans in the same nonstick materials he used for his fishing gear. The results revolutionized how we cook today, making life easier for chefs everywhere. Today, T-Fal sells a wide range of cookware, kitchen appliances, accessories, and more. 

T-Fal brought many innovations to the home goods market. In addition to the cordless iron, the brand developed a trademarked Thermo-Spot. The Thermo-Spot indicates when the pan has reached a high enough temperature for use by becoming solid red. What better way to support new home cooks?
