I've looked at other name-brand bake pans at department stores and nothing came close to the quality of this USA Pan product. Remarkably thick and heavy construction material. Feels like something my grandmother would have had in her 1950s kitchen. I can't imagine outlasting this pan. I'm sold on USA Pan and will switch over to its product line as my other name-brand bake pans need replacement. And it's made in the USA! Unlike all the other name-brand bake pans out there shipped over from China.

I ordered this loaf pan based solely on the fact it was made in the U.S.A. I have to say, the quality exceeded my expectations. It's a very solidly made, heavy pan and it bakes bread like a dream. I'm definately ordering another one.
Yes, it's more expensive than some Made in China pan, but the quality of this pan ensures me I will have it for many, many years.

Like all USA pans, this one rates an A Plus. I love the rippled sides and the heavy gauge construction. Lightly grease the pan before baking and your bread will slide out with ease.

Best of all - It's proudly made in the USA.

This is a great pan!! I started making bread this year and also bought a NorPro pan that was recommended by another baker. Compared to the Norpro, this pan exceeds my expectations! With the Norpro, I *always* have to use a knife to loosen the bread to get it out and then *scrub* to clean the breadcrumbs off the side. With the USA Pans, it's a breeze!! I treat both pans the same way, but the bread comes out easily and cleanly with the USA Pan. Needless to say, the Norpro stays in my cabinet unless I have to use it. I really like these pans, want more and plan on replacing my baking pans with USA Pans as needed. Best of all, they are made in the USA!

I love this pan for sweet or regular breads or meatloaf. The loaf really does just slide out and it is beautifully browned on top and the bottom. Definitely a necessity for any bread baker.

I am very happy with these pans. I bought 4 to make monthly white bread and raisin bread for myself. I started with spraying the pans with oil but the last time I made bread I skipped it and they slid right out with no resistance. Easy to clean with a fast hand wash..they all stack nicely. I cant see how a home baker could be disappointed.

Just right for a regular 1 1/2 pound loaf. The groves make it easy to get the bread out.

I love this pan. I bake 4 loaves of bread for my family each week. For the past 6 or 7 years I've had 3 decent pans and one cheap, flimsy small one. I got fed up and decided I needed a fourth good pan, so I bought this one. I am so impressed with it! It is heavy-duty construction and a perfect size. It's actually a little larger than my other three that are also labeled as 8.5 x 4.5. At first I was kind of bummed about that because I like uniformity (I know, kind of lame), but it turns out I LOVE this size. It also baked the bread nice and even, and the side of the bread didn't explode like it sometimes does in other pans. Just a nice, evenly rounded top. Beautiful. I really wish I could afford to replace my other three pans with these as well. I think I'll replace them one at a time here and there, so I hope Amazon keeps this product for a long time! Very happy and satisfied. Buy the pan. It's a great choice.

These pans are quite exceptional. I have made many types of bread so far and they rarely ever stick at all. Occasionally really wet dough's like in desert breads will stick if you don't first break the seal with a spatula. Still it performs better than other pans I own.

The biggest flaw in my book is the width. Bread comes out about the size of the narrower cheap store bough bread. While I prefer the wider slices of the pricier brands. I would have bought a larger pan if I had realized this. Given my other pans list 4.5 wide but actually make wider loaves of bread I figured I was buying the correct size.

I must say though they are extremely well made. Which is why I buy Made in USA products.

I'm glad I've spend little more to get this pan. It's simply the best pan ever!
The heat distributes evenly and my banana bread came out perfect.
