Misen Nonstick Pan Review

Misen is still fairly new to the market – hence, it is no surprise that the majority remain skeptical about their cookware. Their ‘thing’ is offering high-quality pots, pans, and cookware sets that are well-suited for either modern or traditional styles at low prices compared to other brands and this has made them rather popular – particularly amongst millennials. Their products are all made in China and each one is made with high-quality materials, aesthetically pleasing design, and guaranteed durability.

But are they actually as good as they sound?

In this article, we will be giving you a Misen nonstick pan review. They also offer stainless steel and carbon steel pans for those interested. If you are considering a nonstick pan from Misen, you might want to read this next part carefully.

Misen Nonstick Pan Review – Is It as Good as People Say?

While the general belief is that no nonstick pan out there can stand the test of time, Misen has put in a lot of effort into making theirs come close. The pan is built with 3 layers of PFOA-free nonstick coating and plasma primer. These materials are known for their excellent durability, release, and efficiency.

One fun way to test the quality of the pan is by blowing an egg around in the pan. This was done by Misen’s founder in the promotional video for the pan. A lot of customers have tried this out with nothing but good feedback. Aside from its superior nonstick capabilities, the Misen nonstick pan also offers decent heat distribution, an ergonomic handle, and compatibility with dishwashers, ovens, and all induction cooktops, electric stoves, and gas. It is available in three sizes – 8 inches, 10 inches, and 12 inches according to your needs and can be purchased on the company website or Amazon.

The Misen Nonstick pan is incredibly easy to clean regardless of what you’re cooking, and the varying sizes allow you to choose which would be best for you and your space. The silicon wrapper on the handle improves grip and easily comes off to allow for oven use. The solid base of the pan is sleek and flat for better balance and weight. The pan is incredibly user-friendly and built with a great cooking experience as the end goal.

One of the most popular praises sung about Misen is that they sell directly to customers online just so that they can offer honest prices. This is also one of the many things that have helped to shape their good reputation, and in turn, grow their customer base. Many buy for the prices, others for the quality, and some for the thoughtful design.

Now, the downside…

While very few, there are some ‘important-to-note’ downsides to getting the Misen nonstick pan. First, the steel plate on the bottom of the pan has small cutouts that are bound to lose their color and accumulate brown spots. This will become very difficult to clean and eventually end up looking a lot less appealing.

Second, the handle without the silicon wrapper is flat, thin, and not as user-friendly. This should not be a big deal since one would only remove the wrapper for oven use and replace it right after. Lastly, the nonstick coating is durable and looks like it will last very long with proper care and use. However, you might notice early signs of wear. This is not a sign of deteriorating quality, it’s just better to be more careful when using metal utensils.

As earlier stated, the company is fairly new to the market and it’s fair to remain skeptical – it’ll take a few more years for it to become a trusted brand. It is also good to note that Misen does not offer any warranty, but they have a 60-day refund policy.

So, should you buy a Misen nonstick pan?

Yes, if you want to upgrade your cookware with a good-looking and inexpensive pan that is versatile, built with high-quality materials, and provides good heat distribution.

No, if you prefer American-made cookware, a trusted brand that has been around for several years, a brand with a warranty, expensive cookware, or buying in person.

Conclusion

Overall, the Misen nonstick pan is a very affordable, expertly built pan with guaranteed quality, functionality, and durability. A lot of thought obviously went into the design and materials used in the construction of the pan and we believe it will last a long time. Keep in mind that we can’t all share the same taste, but this review would help you decide if the brand is your taste or not. Let us know in the comments!
