Founded in 1959 by two entrepreneurially spirited brothers, John Bundy Sr. and Russell T. Bundy, our multi-generational, family owned and operated business has grown into the largest industrial bake-ware producer in the world. After servicing the commercial baking industry for over five decades, we endeavored to make bake-ware for the home with the same high-quality, heavy duty features that our professional customers trust. With that vision in mind, the USA PAN bake-ware brand was introduced in 2009. Proudly made in the USA, we are committed to producing bake-ware that exceeds industry standards for innovation, quality and durability.Bakeware
How should I clean my USA PAN bake-ware?
Gently scrub pans with a sponge or nylon pad, mild dish-washing soap, and warm water. Avoid using harsh abrasives or steel wool pads as this can harm the non-stick coating and shorten the life of the pan. (USA PAN bake-ware has a non-stick coating that makes clean up easy and should not require vigorous scrubbing). Wash soon after every use to avoid staining and maintain appearance. Avoid cleaning with cola.What coating does USA PAN use on their pans?
The coating applied on most USA PAN bake-ware is Americoat, our proprietary silicone release coating which is used on almost every commercial pan in North America. It is a natural non-stick and non-toxic silicone that is PTFE, PFOA and BPA free. Americoat is clear in appearance and lets baked goods release quickly and effortlessly. Simply wipe the surface or wash with warm soapy water, and your USA PAN bake-ware will last a lifetime.How high of a temperature can I bake with my USA PAN bake-ware?
The aluminized steel in USA PAN bake-ware conducts heat efficiently; we recommend that you pay careful attention to oven temperatures and baking times the first few times you bake. Reduce time and temperature if necessary. Do not exceed 450 degrees F because it could compromise the silicone coating.What type of utensils should I use on my USA PAN items?
We recommend using silicone, wooden, or nylon utensils. Do not use sharp metal utensils to scrape food from the pan as this will chip the coating.How should I prepare my pan before use?
If you would like to grease or flour your pan before use, we recommend you follow recipe instructions. We do not recommend cooking sprays as they may stain your bakeware.Why is USA PAN bake-ware made with aluminized steel?
USA PAN is made with heavy duty aluminized steel, which is the material of choice for the professional baker. It offers superior heat transfer, strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. Most of the rims in our pans also incorporate steel wire to resist warping and to enhance pan strength.Why does USA PAN bake-ware have ridged surfaces?
USA PAN’s ridged, textured surface is a unique rib-like pattern that enhances baking by allowing air-flow under the baked good. This increased air circulation aids heat distribution throughout your recipe. It also reduces the surface contact between the pan and your baked goods allowing superior release.
