USA Pan 6 Piece Nonstick Bakeware Set

The first thing to say about this bakeware is it's not cheap. Having said that if you buy in the 6-piece set it brings the price per piece down considerably. I decided to buy new bakeware some time ago, my old bakeware had was a mixture of inherited pieces and various bits I had picked up over the years. This time I wanted to buy a quality product that would last me for a long time. After much reading of reviews, I decided on the U.S.A Pan product. My main requirements were, it must be heavy gauge in order to prevent warping, provide for even cooking, and be easy care. Having used this product for the last few months I am convinced I made the right choice. This product comes with a reassuring heft that gives you confidence it will not warp under high temperature. While you cannot clean in the dishwasher, the cleanup is so easy to do this should not be a problem. Most residue comes off with a simple wipe. The only problem I have found is that some bits can get stuck right in the corners and can be tricky to get out. It also does not take up much storage space, with the square pan and loaf pan fitting nicely inside the rectangular pan (see pic). To top it all off its even made in the U.S.Pros - Heavy gauge steel means no warping. - Silicone non-stick surface cleans up really easy. - Nice even baking results. - Made in the U.S.A. Cons - Not really sure it's got any, maybe too pricey for some.

Have only used a couple of the pans so far (had less than a week). So I'm posting my initial thoughts and will update when I've really put these to use.My initial reaction is that these are heavy (seriously, the box weighed a ton) and sturdy and I love that they are made here in the USA.So far, I've made muffins, cookies, and meatloaf. Muffin tin and cookie sheet are amazing. Baked evenly and a bit quicker than my cheap pans. Glad I was keeping a close eye out. Both came out clean and clean up was a breeze. No warping on the cookie sheet, but only baked for 10 minutes.The real shining star is the loaf pan. We use venison for meatloaf, so there's really no fat to keep things from sticking and the sauce tends to leave burnt on bits on my old pans that is incredibly difficult to remove. But the meatloaf came out clean and the caramelized/burnt sauce wiped right off with a wet soapy rag. Again, the meatloaf baked evenly, albeit a bit faster than in the old pans, and was moist and delicious. I'll definitely order another loaf pan just because one pan worth is not enough for the family, but I didn't want to order another until I knew for sure that it would live up to reviews.If these continue to surpass my expectations, I believe I'll be giving these as Christmas gifts to a few people who enjoy baking in the family.

Very nice pans easy to clean.

At the price I paid for this set, I never expected to leave a five star review. I'm *astonished* at the quality of these pans. "Non-stick" really doesn't do them justice. I've had lots of "non-stick" pans in the past that absolutely require some kind of coating like butter or cooking spray to avoid stuff actually sticking, and are hard to clean regardless. But I have never had to spray these pans with anything!Just as an example: Ever heated a slice of pizza in the oven? You know if you put it on foil or on a pan, then when a little bit of the cheese melts and runs off, that bit is stuck. You try to release it with a spatula, and you end up leaving a thin layer on the pan, right? On the spatula, too. Well, not on these pans. Even if the cheese melts off, you can literally just slide the slice of pizza around, cheese bits and all still connected to the pizza and NOT to the pan. It just absolutely DOES NOT stick!When a friend of mine was over, I felt the need to actually show this to her. She thought I was nuts, forcing her to come into my kitchen and watch me move around a slice of pizza on a pan. But when she saw it, she was equally shocked--even confused. I had to assure her I'd used no spray or coating of any kind. I had no idea a pan could ever be so non-stick!I bought this set about nine months ago. I haven't had anything stick, or be hard to clean, or scratch. I only use a soft dishcloth, hot water, and natural dishsoap to clean them, but I haven't had a need for anything else. Others have said the pans will scratch if you use harsh scrubs, and I can't argue the point since I haven't tried that, but I don't understand why you would need to use a harsh scrub to clean one of these pans. They come clean so easily, why would you use something harsh?I have, I am embarrassed to say, left a dirty pan by the sink for over a week (What?! I was going on vacation! Don't judge.) and when I got back and had to clean it, it still came clean with hot water, a rag, and some soap, and without much effort at all. There's just no need to use anything harsh to clean them.On top of all that, they are American made, which is so darn hard to find these days.I have and will continue to recommend these pans to others. I'll stick with the same brand if I need more pans. I already threw out my old crappy pans.If somehow I ever manage to screw one of these pans up, I'd buy the exact same thing for a replacement. I've owned a lot of pans in my life. I knew they all sucked, but didn't realize just how much until I'd bought these.I think I'm going to buy some as a gift to my mother on her next birthday...
