USA Pan Bakeware Aluminized Steel Pie Pan, 9-Inch

These are very high quality commercial style pie tins. They are thick, hold heat well and have a nice smooth non-stick surface. The size is perfect, they look great and work perfectly for pie making needs. Definitely worth the higher price than cheaper ones.

As the brand name suggests, these pans are made in the USA completely. I'm happy to report that all the pans in their line exhibit the same high quality. We can still make products in this country that run all over the off-shore competition. All the pans have dimpled bottoms, and sometimes sides as well, to improve baking action and keep food from sticking. All pans have Americoat non-stick coating, which their literature assures me contain no PFE's or Teflon-type plastics of any kind. I don't know what this coating is but it's really durable. I often use metal utensils with the baking sheets and the pans just don't seem to scratch. It doesn't look like a coating at all, more like it's part of the metal. What you'll notice most about all of these pans is their weight -- these are probably the heaviest baking pans I've ever used. Yet they don't seem to require any longer to heat up than lighter weight pans. The silvery color does not impart any darkness to crusts. Chocolate chip cookies on my dark-color cookie sheets always come out really dark brown on the bottom, but with the USA Pans they come out perfect. I'm not a great baker, but even I can turn out pretty tasty foods with these pans. These pie pans, for example, cook the bottom crusts on apple pies just a little bit crisp, which I think is perfect. Cooking on the middle rack, pies get done in the middle at the same time that the crusts are done. I'd rather leave the pastry baking to the lady of the house, and she swears by these pans for pies, cookies, and cakes. We ended up buying nearly the entire line, which is pretty extensive. I like to use the larger sheets for cooking meats and potatoes in the oven and these pans excel at that too. No matter what we've cooked in them, nothing really seems to stick that doesn't come right off, so the coating seems to do its' job quite well. These are not the cheapest pans available, but they're not the most expensive either. But they are definitely the best baking pans we've ever used regardless of price. I can't rate them above a 5 or I would. I recommend the entire line to everyone.

Excellent pie plate. Very sturdy. Pie shell comes out well. Easy clean.

Great pie pan. Browns bottom nicely. Now have 3

I own several of these pie dishes because they are heavy, well made and pies bake very well in them. You have to be careful not to scratch the coating.

What I liked the most was the quality of the items. What I didn't like was one of the pie shell had a slight "ding" on it but not, in my opinion worthy to return item.Nevertheless, pie pan is well built, heavy, and thick enough to reach temperature and cook dough perfectly without over-cooking.You can feel the smoothness on the surface of the metal to know dough sticking to metal will not happen.Also, do your best not to scratch the inner surface of the pie pan to ensure baked goods will not stick as they bake.Use of silicone, wood, or plastic knives to cut into pie is recommended.

This pan is amazing, it’s got to be the heaviest metal pie pan I’ve ever seen. The quality is outstanding. The 49ers could have used it to pan for gold, Viking children could have used it as a shield. Honestly it’s a great product.

I'm a loyal USA Pan customer and glad I purchased this when I realized I didn't have a single pie tin! It's just the right size, and is easy to clean as (like other USA Pan items) debris comes off easily - even baked-on cheese or burnt egg. It feels sturdy and does not warp in the oven.
