Just curious if any other foodie own any of U.S.A. bakeware? I bought a 1.5 1b loaf pan from Williams-Sonoma, from their Goldtouch line of bakeware. I want more, but it is expensive, but woth the price. The pan performs beautifully!  I want to buy a set.  Igot the loaf pan on a good deal, and actually with a gift card, and free shipping. Probably the best piece of bakeware I've ever had. Oh, and made in the U.S.A. Smiley HappyIMG_20160624_232626.jpg

I have not heard of this line but I always look for items made in the USA. Thanks for the heads-up!

 

I have a non-stick Nordic Ware bundt pan made in the USA. Pricey, heavy, and well worth it.

I had a couple of the USA pans. Loaf pans & baking shhets. I thought they were very durable & performed well. Just too heavy.

 

I went to all Nordicware for baking pans. Just as durable but lighter, perform well, easier to clean and made in the USA. 

 

I bought the Nordic Naturals without the nonstick coating.

I have a few USA pans (two madeleine pans and a floral cupcake pan) and I like them very much. They are heavier than what some people might be used to, but they are quite nice. I'd recommend them. They clean up very well after using them. 

 

King Arthur sells them. I think Reading China and Glass sells them, too.

I have a USA pan cookie sheet which I love. I think it is the best also along with my ceramic made in Europe frying pans! I got the USA cookie sheet at BBB. (with the $5 off couponSmiley Happy

 

I haven't seen the Nordic bakeware. They sound nice too. I don't like baking pans (aside from the cookie sheet) that are too heavy.

I wanted to buy pans made in the USA, and bought a bunch. However, the ones I purchased had ridges, or lines, on the bottom of the pans, and I found them almost impossible to get clean. I ended up replacing them after a year. Yes, they are heavy, very sturdy and heat evenly. But I would not purchase the ones with the ridges. Perhaps they now have ones that are smooth, and in that case, I would recommend. Otherwise, I would not.

We're fortunate to have a Williams-Sonoma outlet about 30 min. from us.  They carry this brand.  I've purchased some of their USA made baking pans.  Usually 30% discount.

Over the years I've bought pieces of Williams-Sonoma Gold when they are on sale and I have a good collection.  We love them--and although we have some USA pans, we basically have only the gold now.  But the USA Pan stuff is excellent too and they have sizes and shapes the Gold doesn't have.

I bought a USA 9X13 non-stick pan from BB&B because it has no handles and fits perfectly in the Breville convection oven that QVC sells.  It is well made and according to the info on the label the company has sold to commercial bakers for decades.  It is solid in construction which means that it won't "buckle" in the oven.  I also like the fact that the non-stick is silicone based - no chemicals.
