Product Info
The USA Pans Square Cake Pan is constructed of aluminized steel, the material of choice for commercial bakeries. The size and design of this pan makes it ideal for cakes, brownies and delicate pastries. The metal thickness of this pan has been selected to allow for even heat distribution and maximum service life. An important and unique feature of this pan is its corrugated design. Corrugation maximizes the pans strength and prevents warping, denting and other effects of everyday use. Plus, it also minimizes surface contact which translates into evenly baked products that are easily released. No need for messy and unhealthy oil and grease. This pan is coated with Americoat. Americoat is a proprietary silicone coating. It provides a clear, non-stick,non-toxic baking surface, specially formulated for superior baking. It's FDA approved; it does not contain PTFE's or PFOA's. It is not recommended to exceed baking temperature of 400 degrees F. Easy care. To clean, simply wipe clean after use; soap and water are okay to use. It is not recommended that pan be washed in dishwasher because harsh chemicals can cause the non-stick material to breakdown in time. Dry pan completely, after cleaning. USA Pans is the newest line of bakeware developed by American Pan, the world's largest manufacturer of commercial bakeware. Pans are made of 65% recycled steel. Made in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, USA. Square Cake Pan is 9 inch squared and 2.25 inch high. Lifetime warranty.

I bake regularly, and my square pans were quite battered. Also, they weren't very good quality, since they were purchased long ago when our lifestyle was "Early Poverty." (Thank you, Erma Bombeck, for that expression!) I'd read many good things about the USA pans, and decided to try them. I know that quality bakeware is never cheap, so the price didn't faze me.These pans are amazing! Solid and heavy, they heat evenly without hotspots. Baked goods brown nicely and release well. Clean-up is effortless; the proprietary silicone coating on these pans works beautifully, giving you non-stick benefits without the usual non-stick problems. The rims are rolled around heavy steel wire, so they do NOT bend when filled with very dense batter, nor warp in the oven under normal oven temperatures. (By "normal," I mean, "not under the broiler." I haven't checked to see if that's OK.)And . . . THEY ARE MADE IN THE U.S.A.!I'm a complete convert to USA pans, and will be replacing all my bakeware with these items as the old ones reach retirement.

My 40 year old baking pans were on their last legs, it was time to replace them. However, I have several criteria with regard to items used for cooking or baking. They must be made in the United States; and although I prefer uncoated bakeware, if the pans are nonstick, that coating must not be teflon. This "9" X 9" USA Square Cake Pan" seemed to fit those requirements. Upon receiving the pans and using them, I found they were not quite perfect.The silicon nonstick coating scratches easily; I made the mistake of purchasing my pans from a source other than Amazon and spent an inordinate amount of time getting the damaged pans I initially received replaced. I found that I either have to stop stacking pans - not an option because of space limitations - or put a layer of waffle-style, skid-stopping rubber mat between two pans to prevent scratching the silicon coating.While the pans are "safe" up to 450 degrees, they should not sit directly on a baking stone. If like me, you bake yeast breads and rolls, this is a big prohibition. Further, when I contacted the manufacturer, they recommended, if baking for an extended time period, limiting temperatures to 350 degrees.Lastly, while these pans are truly nonstick - I just baked brownies in one - batter does become "stuck" in the corner crevices. Try as I might, and even with soaking the pan, the brownie batter never came out of the crevice.You will like these pans if nonstick is important to you; if you "baby" your bakeware; and if you don't mind pans that don't quite come clean when washed. I am sorry I purchased a variety of USA pans and wish I had purchased Nordicware uncoated pans instead.

UPDATE: I emailed the USAPANS about the peeling and they emailed me back within 2 days and sent me a prepaid UPS label to send in for replacement... No questions asked. After they received the pan it took them only 2 days to send out my replacement pan (Fedex) with tracking number.. to add to their GREAT customer service I realized I would be out of state when the package was due to arrive so I asked if they could have the package rerouted to a different address in another state, they contacted fedex and now the package will be rerouted to the new address.. All this with no charges to me! Unlike other companies where you have to pay for shipping and handling of returned products. AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE! WILL DEFINITELY PURCHASE MORE OF THEIR PRODUCTS.. price is so worth it with the lifetime warranty.ORIGINAL POST: I really like this baking pan, it feels heavy and sturdy, has nice straight sides and corners.. but the nonstick coating is peeling.. they are only very small spots but there are a few of them.. I only handwash after every use and have not put it in the dishwasher... so I'm hesistant to purchase more pans because they are a bit more pricey.. The description says there is a lifetime warranty, I have to look into that and will update this review after I talk to them.
