Why Choose Us?

Why Commercial Quality?
Developed by the  largest manufacturer of commercial bakeware in the world, USA Pan offers the same superior quality that our commercial customers expect .  Our largest customers include Sara Lee, Pepperidge Farm, Interstate Bakeries, Wonder, Merita, Flowers, Sunbeam, McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Weston, and Bimbo.  As the only manufacturer of commercial bakeware in North America, we have a long established reputation of quality and unparalleled service.  With 50 years of experience, we have set the standard with commercial bakeware. 

Why USA Pan?
USA Pan was created for the retail industry.  We have taken our intimate knowledge of commercial manufacturing and now offer a complete line of bakeware for home-use.  Materials, gauges, corrugation (textures) and silicone coatings used in the commercial industry were used to craft the finest bakeware available.  USA Pan bakeware is proudly made in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Why Aluminized Steel?
Aluminized Steel is the material of choice for the professional baker.  It offers superior heat transfer, corrosion resistance, and durability.  We use 65% recycled steel to manufacture our products. 
The gauges selected for USA Pan bakeware were gleaned from years of performance data.  Most pans also incorporate wire in the rims to resist warping and enhance strength. 

Why Corrugation?
Corrugation is a time tested feature demanded on nearly every commercial bread pan.  Corrugation offers superior strength and impact resistance much like corrugated metal roofing.  This unique rib-like feature also enhances baking characteristics by allowing air-flow under the baked good.  Furthermore, because surface contact between the pan and baked good is reduced, release is superior. 

Why Silicone?
Americoat Plus©, our proprietary silicone release coating, is the most advanced industrial coating available and is used on almost every commercial pan in North America.  Glassy in appearance and slippery to the touch, nothing releases like silicone, including Teflon©.  Simply wipe the surface or wash with warm soapy water, and your USA Pan bakeware will last a lifetime... we guarantee it!
