What Bakeware is Made in the USA (& not made in China)
It can be difficult to find any product these days that is not made in China. This also applies to bakeware and most other types of cookware.
Now, buying from China does not necessarily mean that the product is bad or of poor quality but many have concerns that labor practices may not be ideal, industry standards may not always be at their best or they simply prefer to support their own country by buying a product that is made in the USA.
With this in mind, I have created a big list of bakeware brands and some of their products that are made in the USA.
This includes only the most commonly used types of bakeware and the best of the best of those since there are hundreds, if not thousands, of bakeware items I could include.
IMPORTANT: Always check the description of the product you are buying before you purchase it to make sure it is made in the USA. If you see anything in the list below that is not made in the USA, please let us know by clicking on the Contact link in the menu.

List of Bakeware Brands Made in the USA
Nordic Ware
With a name like Nordic Ware, you might be thinking that this company is from a Northern European country like Norway or Sweden. Instead, this 75-year-old company was born and bred in the USA. Their factory is based in Minneapolis and employs more than 300 people. They make a huge range of bakeware.
Bear in mind, that many of the Nordic Ware bakeware products are made with aluminum so if this is something you want to avoid, then scroll on down for more options.

Here’s a couple of their most popular items.
This Commercial Baker’s Half Sheet comes in a 2 pack and is a best seller. Since it is of commercial grade, it is very popular and has excellent reviews.

This Classic Metal Covered Cake Pan is another popular Nordic Ware product. This is 100% aluminum which means it bakes evenly. Plus there is a lid that you can use as a cover when needed in the oven, or use it as a cover in the fridge once the cake has cooled. You can view it here on Amazon.

USA Pan
USA Pan was founded in 1959 and has grown to be the world’s largest commercial bakeware manufacturer. They are based in Pittsburgh and in 2009, they started developing bakeware for the home user.
From what I can tell people love it. It has excellent reviews on Amazon at least for certain pieces. I have noticed that the bakeware with folded corners gets mixed reviews. People complain about rust developing in the corners and the difficultly in cleaning. But as I said, there are mixed reviews so do your research.

Made in
As far as I can tell, ‘Made in’ only has one bakeware product and that is a sheet pan. But it is probably going to be a good one since many of their products are used by chefs including 3 star Michelin chefs.
‘Made in’ make their cookware using all American materials. The company only started in 2016 by two young guys but they have a 100 year family history in the kitchen supply industry.
