American cookware makers range from a Tennessee foundry that has poured seasoned cast iron skillets since 1896, to small shops in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina that mill, polish and season smooth cast iron by hand, to a family workshop that casts and enamels its own Dutch ovens, to Wisconsin and Tennessee factories that form clad stainless cookware, to a Pennsylvania plant that bonds its own stainless and aluminum. There are also aluminum pans for pizzerias and restaurant kitchens, Minnesota Bundt pans, Pennsylvania bakeware and Ohio glass baking dishes.
How much of a pan is made here depends on what it's made of. A cast iron skillet is one piece of iron, so a US casting means nearly all of it is American. Clad stainless and aluminum cookware is formed and finished here, but the clad sheet or raw aluminum is often imported. Each listing is rated for the company's most American-made line and names what is known to come from elsewhere.
Ranked by Made in USA level, highest first; ties are in alphabetical order. The level measures how much is made in the USA, not product quality. How the levels work
Anchor Hocking makes tempered glass baking dishes, pie plates, bakeware sets with lids, drinkware, serveware, mixing bowls and food storage for home kitchens. It fired up its first glass plant in Lancaster, Ohio in 1905, and that plant still makes nearly all of its glassware.
Made in: Lancaster, OH (glass bakeware melted, pressed and tempered at its own glass plant). Some of its other products and lids are made overseas, according to AllAmerican.org.
Anchor Hocking's home page: "CRAFTED IN THE USA SINCE 1905," "We've been making Anchor Hocking glassware right here in the USA for more than a century," and "Laurel Bakeware is crafted in America with Tempered Tough® Glass." Its Our Story page: "In 1905, we fired up the first glass plant in Lancaster, Ohio."
Glass Online (11/2023): the Lancaster plant accounts for nearly 100 percent of Anchor Hocking's production. AllAmerican.org (11/2024): most of its glassware, including its Essentials and Preferred glass bakeware, is made in the USA; some products, such as SecureLock jars and stoneware mugs, are made in China, and TrueSeal lids are made overseas.
Where its glass batch materials come from isn't published. No legal actions were found.
Production history: Anchor Hocking has made glass in Lancaster since 1905. In July 2025 it announced up to $70 million in investment, a third furnace due in 2026 and more than 200 new jobs there. In 2023 its owner sold the Lancaster plant and leased it back.
Our rough estimate: for a lidless glass baking dish, nearly all of the value is US-melted glass; on lidded sets, imported lids are 10–20% of the value.
Level 4.5 for its glass bakeware: Anchor Hocking melts, presses and tempers its glass bakeware at its own Ohio plant and says it is crafted in the USA; the origin of its lids and batch materials isn't published.
Appalachian Cast Iron Co. makes Jeweled cast iron skillets with a faceted exterior and smooth as-cast cooking surface, hand-made carbon steel skillets, and its Great American Waffle Iron, for home cooks. The veteran-owned company was founded by Tony Hester in Johnson City, Tennessee.
Made in: Tennessee (cast iron skillets cast at US foundries, then finished and seasoned in its Tennessee workshop; carbon steel skillets hand made in its Johnson City workshop, with rivets set in-house).
Appalachian Cast Iron's shop page is titled "Cast Iron Cookware & Carbon Steel Skillets | Made in USA." Its 10 in. carbon steel skillet page: "hand-made in our Johnson City, TN workshop," with rivets set on a hydraulic press and handles tumbled in-house.
Its How It's Made page: "We cast every part in the U.S.," with finishing, polishing and seasoning at its Tennessee facility. Its #10 Jeweled Skillet has an as-cast surface that isn't milled; it showed out of stock on 11/2/2026.
The foundry isn't named, and where its carbon steel sheet comes from isn't published. No imports or legal actions were found.
Our rough estimate: for a carbon steel skillet, the steel sheet is 15–30% of the value; for a cast skillet, nearly all of the value is US casting and finishing.
Level 4.5 for its cast iron and carbon steel skillets: the company says every part is cast in the US and makes its carbon steel skillets by hand in Johnson City; the foundry and the source of its steel aren't named.
Borough Furnace makes small-batch cast iron and enameled cast iron Dutch ovens, frying skillets and braising skillets for home cooks, and says it makes the only enameled Dutch oven produced in the US. Partners John Truex and Liz Seru have run the family workshop since 2011, now in Owego, in New York's Finger Lakes region.
Borough Furnace's home page: "Made to last. Cast, finished and enameled in our Owego, NY workshop," and it is "most known ... for making the only enameled Dutch oven produced in the US." Its About page: a family-owned workshop since 2011, run by John Truex and Liz Seru, in the New York Finger Lakes.
AllAmerican.org (1/2026) says it produces the only enameled cast iron made in the United States. Where its iron and its enamel materials come from isn't published.
Several products showed out of stock or low stock on 11/2/2026. No imports, import records or legal actions were found.
Production history: John Truex made the first prototypes in Tennessee, then ran a micro-foundry in Syracuse and East Syracuse, NY from 2011 to about 2016 before moving to Owego by 2019, where it melts and pours 100 percent recycled iron in-house. Enameling was planned with a Tennessee glazing company whose production went overseas, so Borough Furnace developed its own; a 2022 Kickstarter brought enameling fully in-house. In April 2026 the owners also launched a furniture line.
Our rough estimate: if the iron and enamel are imported they would be 5–15% of a pan's value; casting, finishing and enameling are done in its own shop.
Level 4.5 for its enameled cast iron Dutch ovens and skillets: Borough Furnace casts, finishes and enamels its cookware in its own Owego workshop; where its iron and enamel materials come from isn't published.
Field Company makes lightweight, smooth-surfaced cast iron skillets, a Dutch oven and griddles modeled on vintage American pans, sold direct to home cooks. Brothers Stephen and Chris Muscarella founded the company, which is based in New York's Hudson Valley.
Made in: Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin (production and fulfillment; skillets green-sand cast from US-sourced recycled iron by partner foundries, then machined, seasoned and packed).
Field Company's Where Are Field Skillets Made page: "every piece of our cast iron cookware is proudly made in the USA," and "our production and fulfillment operations are located across the American Midwest, in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin." Its No. 10 skillet page: "made in the US with iron sourced from US vendors."
The company says the casting is done by "the foundries and skilled craftspeople who we work closely with" and that it controls the final seasoning and packaging. The foundries aren't named.
Duluth Trading lists the No. 10 as "100% American-made"; Gear Patrol (7/2025) says all of its skillets are made in the USA. No imports, import records or legal actions were found.
Production history: Field started in 2016 with a single foundry outside Chicago (Yahoo News, 3/2016) and now describes production in Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. Its 2026 "Ten Years" page still says 100% made in America. No moves abroad were found.
Our rough estimate: imported content in a skillet is 0–5% of its value (seasoning oil and packaging, if any).
Level 4.5 for its cast iron skillets: Field says its skillets are made entirely in the US from US-sourced recycled iron, with production in the Midwest; the partner foundries aren't named.
Lancaster Cast Iron makes lightweight, smooth-machined cast iron skillets from No. 4 to No. 12 for home cooks, plus lids, wooden utensils, cutting boards and leather potholders. Mark Longenecker and Brandon Moore founded it in 2018, and its shop and store are in a former schoolhouse in Conestoga, Pennsylvania.
Made in: Conestoga, PA (skillets sand cast at US foundries, then ground, machined, polished and seasoned in the company's own shop; wooden utensils made in-house).
Lancaster Cast Iron's cookware page: "Proudly crafted in Lancaster, Pennsylvania." Lehman's lists its No. 8 skillet as "Made in Lancaster, Pennsylvania," with "Pennsylvania, USA" cast on the bottom.
Lancaster County Magazine (12/2023) describes the skillets as made of American pig iron and finished in Conestoga: grinding the cooking surface, cutting pour spouts and the heat ring, washing and seasoning with grapeseed oil. Lancaster Farming (4/2025): the founders "had to find the right foundries to cast our skillets," then lathe grind, tumble, polish and season them in-house. The foundries aren't named.
A 2026 alumni profile says production was brought in-house in 2022 and the company passed $2 million in revenue in 2025 with 15 employees. No imports, import records or legal actions were found.
Production history: started in a home workshop, bought its Conestoga building in 2021 and brought production in-house in 2022; 2025–2026 press confirms the finishing there. No moves abroad were found.
Our rough estimate: if the castings are domestic, imported content is 0–5% of a skillet's value.
Level 4.5 for its machined cast iron skillets: the skillets are finished, machined and seasoned in its own Pennsylvania shop from castings described as American iron; the foundries that cast them aren't named.
LloydPans makes hard-anodized aluminum pizza pans, including Detroit-, Sicilian- and Roman-style pans, deep-dish pans, cake, cheesecake and bread pans, and baking trays for pizzerias, bakeries and home cooks. It has its headquarters and plant in Spokane Valley, Washington, and since December 2025 has been owned by CFS Brands, which bought its parent, Cornerstone Foodservice Group.
LloydPans' Our Process page: "we control every aspect of the manufacturing process from start to finish in our Spokane Valley, Washington facility," and "we manufacture all of our pans in the USA." Its About page: "Our headquarters and primary manufacturing operations are based in Spokane Valley, Washington."
AllAmerican.org (3/2026) cites its 104,000 sq ft facility; Pizza Today (12/2024) calls it a US manufacturer of commercial pizza pans and bakeware; Snack & Bakery (2012) describes forming, spinning, anodizing and coating all in its own plant. Amazon listings for its pans say Made in USA.
Where its bare aluminum comes from isn't published. No imports, import records or legal actions were found.
Production history: LloydPans has been in the Spokane area since the 1990s and was bought by Cornerstone Foodservice Group in 2017. CFS Brands, owned by The Jordan Company, bought Cornerstone on 12/4/2025 and named its Spokane manufacturing operations; a March 2026 press release still places production in Spokane Valley. A June 2026 buyer review says new pans look like they come from a different maker; no change in origin was found.
Our rough estimate: the aluminum sheet is 25–40% of a pan's value; forming, spinning, anodizing and coating, done in-house, make up most of the rest.
Level 4.5 for its hard-anodized aluminum pizza pans and bakeware: LloydPans makes every pan from bare aluminum in its own Spokane Valley plant and says all its pans are made in the USA; the source of the aluminum isn't published.
Lodge makes pre-seasoned cast iron skillets, Dutch ovens, griddles and carbon steel pans for home and commercial kitchens, plus USA Enamel Dutch ovens that are cast and enameled at its own plant. The family-owned company has run its foundry in South Pittsburg, Tennessee since 1896 and added a second foundry there in 2017.
Made in: South Pittsburg, TN (seasoned cast iron melted, poured, molded, finished, seasoned and packed at its two foundries; USA Enamel Dutch ovens cast there and enameled in its own enameling plant).
Imported:Essential Enamel enameled cast iron (Lodge calls it its imported line); accessories such as spatulas, silicone tools and glass lids.
Lodge's How It's Made page: a mix of "pig iron, recycled steel, castings from our foundry, and alloys" is melted in its induction furnace, and its iron cookware is "all melted, poured, molded, finished and packaged right here in South Pittsburg, Tennessee." Its Classic Collection page says Lodge seasoned cast iron "has been made in the USA (without PFAS!) since 1896."
Lodge says its Essential Enamel line is imported. AllAmerican.org (11/2025) lists imported accessories (spatulas and silicone egg rings from China, a deep fry basket from Cambodia, glass lids from China). US import records show Lodge buying cast iron and enameled cookware, glass lids and wire stands from Chinese suppliers; these match its imported lines, not the seasoned cast iron.
Where the pig iron in the melt comes from isn't published; Lodge says it buys recycled steel for the melt. No Made in USA lawsuits or FTC actions were found.
Production history: Lodge has always made its cast iron at its own South Pittsburg foundries; it added a second foundry in 2017, and the Wall Street Journal (8/2026) puts staff at about 570. A June 2026 job posting for a melt technician there describes melting pig iron, steel, returns and alloys. Import records for 10/2026 include "cast iron cookware" from a Chinese supplier, with no product named; Lodge sells imported enameled lines.
Our rough estimate: for a seasoned skillet, the pig iron share of the melt and the seasoning oil are 0–5% of the value; the rest is cast and finished at Lodge's own foundries.
Level 4.5 for its seasoned cast iron skillets and Dutch ovens: Lodge casts, finishes and seasons this cookware at its own Tennessee foundries; where its pig iron is sourced isn't published, and its enameled Essential Enamel line and some accessories are imported.
Nest Homeware makes smooth-surfaced cast iron skillets, egg pans, braising pans and Dutch ovens for home cooks. RISD-trained designer and metal artisan Matt Cavallaro founded the studio in Providence, Rhode Island in 2013.
Nest Homeware's About page: "Based in Providence, RI ... We make beautiful, smooth surfaced, cast iron cookware" and "Proudly made in the USA." Faire and Anthropologie list its pans as made in the United States.
Yankee (2/2020): Cavallaro "uses an out-of-state foundry," and the seasoning and shipping happen in Providence. Harvard Magazine (winter 2025) says the cookware is cast and machined in Indiana; retailer copy says Pennsylvania. The foundry isn't named.
Where the brass lid knobs and wood handles on some lids come from isn't published. No imports, import records or legal actions were found.
Production history: a 2021–2023 roundup and retailer copy say Pennsylvania; Harvard Magazine (10/2025) says Indiana. No source explains whether the foundry changed. No moves abroad were found.
Our rough estimate: the US-cast iron is 85–95% of a pan's value; lid knobs and handles of unknown origin are 2–8% on lidded pieces.
Level 4.5 for its cast iron skillets, braising pans and Dutch ovens: the iron is cast and machined at a US foundry and finished and seasoned in Providence; the foundry, its state and the origin of the lid hardware aren't published.
Smithey Ironware makes polished, pre-seasoned cast iron skillets, Dutch ovens and griddles, plus hand-forged carbon steel skillets and woks, for home cooks. Isaac Morton founded the company in 2015; it is based in a former Navy yard in North Charleston and had 65 employees in 2025.
Made in: North Charleston, SC (raw castings from US foundries CNC milled, polished and seasoned in its own shop; carbon steel pans hand forged by its blacksmiths).
Imported:glass lids (Smithey: "Sourced from China").
Smithey's cast iron page: "Skillets, Dutch ovens and griddles, made in the USA" and "US MADE COOKWARE." Its glass lids page says "Sourced from China."
InsideHook (7/2024): Smithey "works with a few foundries in the U.S. who make raw castings," finished at its own Charleston facility. Post and Courier (1/2023) describes the milling of raw castings at its North Charleston site. The foundries aren't named.
Alliance for American Manufacturing (11/2024): 42 employees, seven of them blacksmiths who make the carbon steel pans. Area Development (10/2024): a $3.1 million expansion adding 16 jobs. Carbon steel began in 2018 with blacksmith Robert Thomas.
Crate & Barrel lists the 12 in. skillet as "Made in USA of Domestic and Imported Materials"; which material isn't stated. No import records or legal actions were found.
Production history: finishing has stayed in North Charleston and grown (a $2 million expansion in 2019, $3.1 million in 2024). A 2019 profile (The Azalea) placed its foundries in Indiana and North Carolina. Charleston City Paper (8/2025): everything is still made in North Charleston, with 65 employees; a May 2026 release for its anniversary skillet says "Made in N. Charleston, South Carolina," and it is hiring production associates there.
Our rough estimate: the US castings and South Carolina finishing are 90–98% of a bare skillet's value; the glass lids (China) are an accessory.
Level 4.5 for its polished cast iron skillets: raw castings from US foundries are milled, polished and seasoned in North Charleston; the foundries aren't named, a retailer lists some imported material in the skillet, and the glass lids come from China.
Stargazer Cast Iron makes smooth-milled, pre-seasoned cast iron skillets with flared rims and split handles for home cooks. Peter Huntley founded the company in 2015, and it is based in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Made in: Wisconsin, Ohio and Allentown, PA (skillets cast from domestically sourced, mostly recycled iron at foundries in Wisconsin and Ohio, machined in Ohio, then hand finished, seasoned and shipped from Allentown).
Stargazer's How It's Made page: "Everything is made right here in the USA," and its skillets start "at our foundry, where domestically sourced, primarily recycled iron is melted." Its box is made a couple of miles from its Allentown facility.
Peter Huntley told PA Eats that casting "happens in foundries we work with in Wisconsin and Ohio"; Prudent Reviews (2/2026) says the skillets are cast in Wisconsin, machined in Ohio and finished in Pennsylvania. The foundries aren't named.
No imports, import records or legal actions were found.
Production history: castings came from Wisconsin in 2015–2016 and from Wisconsin and Ohio by 2020; finishing has been in Allentown since 2017. The company is still founder-owned, and no moves abroad were found.
Our rough estimate: all stated inputs are American; imported content is 0–5% of a skillet's value.
Level 4.5 for its machined cast iron skillets: Stargazer says everything is made in the US from domestic iron, cast in Wisconsin and Ohio and finished in Allentown; the partner foundries aren't named.
Alegacy Foodservice Products Group supplies smallwares to commercial kitchens, including cookware, bakeware, steam table pans, utensils, buffetware and pizza supplies. Its Eagleware line of heavy aluminum stock pots, sauce pots and pans has been made in the US since 1965; much of its other range is imported.
Made in: Santa Fe Springs, CA (Eagleware aluminum cookware, made and quality checked at its factory at its headquarters).
Imported:Optima aluminum and stainless cookware (listed as imported cookware by its export agent); Eagleware handles and grips (US import records for Eagleware Manufacturing Co., from China, 2025–2026).
Alegacy's The Alegacy Story page: "our U.S. manufactured Eagleware® has held its own for the most demanding chefs since 1965," and "Everything we manufacture ... undergoes rigorous quality control in our factory, located at our corporate headquarters in Santa Fe Springs, California." It also says it combs the globe for one of the largest selections of supplies.
Its export agent, Dorian Drake, lists "Eagleware® – Made in the U.S.A." and lists Optima aluminum and stainless lines under imported cookware. Dealers KitchenRestock and Ekuep list Eagleware stock pots as made in the USA.
Import records (2019–2020) show stainless and aluminum kitchen articles and parts from China, Hong Kong and Vietnam; none is tied to Eagleware. Where its aluminum and handles come from isn't published.
Production history: import records for Eagleware Manufacturing Co. at Santa Fe Springs show handles and grips from a Chinese supplier through April 2026, and shipments from a Greek aluminum mill (ElvalHalcor) through January 2025. That points to Eagleware being formed and assembled in California from imported aluminum and handles. No source was found for an earlier Rancho Dominguez plant.
Our rough estimate: aluminum sheet is 35–50% of an Eagleware pot's value and the handles 5–15%, both of unknown origin.
Level 4 for its Eagleware aluminum stock pots: Alegacy says it manufactures Eagleware at its California factory, but its handles come from China and its aluminum appears to come from Greece.
All-Clad makes bonded stainless steel cookware, including the D3, D5, Copper Core and G5 Graphite Core collections, for home and professional kitchens. Founded in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania in 1971, it is now owned by France's Groupe SEB.
Made in: Canonsburg, PA (stainless and aluminum coil roll bonded, formed, polished and riveted for the D3, D5, Copper Core and G5 lines). Its HA1 and Essentials nonstick lines and Gourmet specialty pieces are made in China, according to Prudent Reviews.
Imported:global components in the bonded lines (All-Clad: "Made in the USA with Global Components"); the steamer insert in the D3 13-piece set (Costco: made in China).
All-Clad's US lines page: "All Proudly Bonded, Engineered, & Assembled in Canonsburg, PA - USA Since 1971" and "Made in the USA with Global Components." Its 2025 blog describes coils of stainless steel and aluminum arriving at the Canonsburg factory, roll bonding, forming and hand riveting of handles there.
Prudent Reviews (1/2026) says the lids and handles for the US lines come from China; import records for All-Clad Metalcrafters in Canonsburg list handles among its top imports from Chinese suppliers. All-Clad itself only says "global components." Costco lists the D3 13-piece set as US made except a 3 qt. steamer insert made in China.
In 2015 All-Clad said it used American-made metals from within 400 miles of Canonsburg; it hasn't restated where its coil comes from. The FTC closed a Made in USA inquiry in 2013 after All-Clad added country-of-origin statements.
Production history: the bonded lines have been made in Canonsburg since 1971. The Observer-Reporter (11/2025) counted 181 hourly and 60 salaried workers at the plant, and an April 2026 job posting says the cookware is "bonded, engineered, and assembled in America, in Canonsburg PA." Groupe SEB's 2026 plan to cut up to 2,100 jobs names plants outside the US.
Our rough estimate: likely imported handles and lids are 10–20% of a D3 pan's value; the bonded body, the bulk of the value, is made in Canonsburg.
Level 4 for its D3 and D5 bonded stainless cookware: All-Clad bonds and forms its stainless cookware in Canonsburg, but it says the pans use global components, which a reviewer and import records point to as Chinese handles and lids.
FINEX makes octagonal pre-seasoned cast iron skillets, grill pans, griddles and Dutch ovens with stainless steel coil spring handles, plus carbon steel skillets, for home cooks. The Portland, Oregon brand was bought by Lodge Cast Iron in 2019.
Made in: USA (cast iron skillets, pans and Dutch ovens). When Lodge bought FINEX in 2019, it said it would move most FINEX production to its foundry in South Pittsburg, TN.
Imported:some materials in the skillet (a retailer lists the 14 in. skillet and lid as "Made in USA of Domestic and Imported Materials").
FINEX's skillet page: "Made In America" and "100% made-in-USA craftsmanship"; the handle is a stainless steel spring "inspired by antique wood stoves."
In 2019 Lodge said it would "shift production of FINEX skillets, pans and ovens to Lodge's foundry in South Pittsburg, Tennessee"; HFN reported that small-scale production would stay in Portland. No newer source says where FINEX is cast today.
Crate & Barrel lists the 14 in. skillet and lid as "Made in USA of Domestic and Imported Materials." WebstaurantStore and Costco list FINEX skillets as made in the USA. Which material is imported isn't stated; the stainless spring handle and brass knob are the likeliest parts.
Production history: in 2014 FINEX skillets were cast by Western Foundries in Spokane, WA, and machined, seasoned and fitted with springs in Portland (Core77). The 2019 plan moved casting to Lodge in Tennessee, with machining and assembly staying in Portland; no source after 2019 names either site. FINEX's FAQ says "All FINEX Cast Iron Cookeware is made in USA," and retailers such as Tractor Supply sell it new in 2026 as "Lodge Cast Iron FINEX," marked made in the USA. Every skillet size showed sold out on its own site on 11/2/2026.
Our rough estimate: if the spring handle and knob are imported, they are 10–20% of the pan's value; the cast and machined iron is the rest.
Level 4 for its octagonal cast iron skillets: the iron is cast and finished in the US, but a retailer lists the skillet as made of domestic and imported materials, most likely the spring handle, and FINEX doesn't say where it is cast today.
Lifetime Cookware makes fully clad stainless steel waterless cookware, small appliances and cooking accessories for home cooks, designed for a low-moisture cooking method. It is sold only through authorized Lifetime distributors. The brand belongs to Regal Holdings (formerly Regal Ware), whose West Bend Company makes it.
Lifetime's home page: "Crafted by our skilled team in West Bend, WI," with "fully-clad stainless steel," sold only through an authorized Lifetime Cookware distributor. Regal's Lifetime page: "manufactured in the USA using only the finest materials sourced from around the world."
HomePage News (2/2026): Regal Ware renamed itself Regal Holdings, and its West Bend manufacturing arm took back the West Bend Company name; Lifetime is in its direct-sales group. West Bend Company lists in-house die design, drawing, forming, welding, trimming, buffing and polishing.
Regal's import records show clad metal shipments from Korea Clad Tech and a pan handle item; none is tied to the Lifetime brand. No legal actions were found.
Production history: no move was found; Lifetime remained a Regal Holdings brand in 2026, made at the West Bend plant.
Our rough estimate: likely imported clad stainless is 35–50% of a pan's value, and handles and knobs another 5–10%.
Level 4 for its fully clad stainless waterless cookware: the cookware is drawn, formed and finished in West Bend, but the company says its materials are sourced from around the world, and the clad metal is likely Korean.
Made In sells professional-grade cookware direct to home cooks and restaurants. Its USA Collection includes seasoned cast iron skillets and a Dutch oven, stainless clad pans, nonstick pans, sheet pans and an outdoor grill; the rest of its range is made in Europe and Asia.
Made in: USA (seasoned cast iron sand cast at a single US foundry, then machined and buffed; USA Collection items made in the USA from domestic and imported components). Other stainless clad cookware is made in Italy; copper, enameled cast iron and most knives in France; carbon steel in Sweden.
Imported:components in the USA Collection (Made In: "made in the USA from domestic and imported components").
Made In's USA Collection page: "All products on this page are made in the USA from domestic and imported components." Its cast iron skillet page: "sand-cast at a single American foundry, then machined, precision-turned, and buffed," and its Dutch oven page says "American-made from start to finish."
Made In doesn't own factories; its lines are made by partners. HomePage News and Gear Patrol (5/2026) say the cast iron is made in Tennessee; the foundry isn't named. Its US stainless pans are "Crafted in USA from 5 layers of domestic and imported metal."
Crate & Barrel lists a Made In stainless saucepan as made in Italy. A 2023 class action over PFAS in its nonstick was reported dismissed; no Made in USA actions were found.
Production history: Made In's first cast iron (2019, 2021) came from a family-owned factory in Indiana; its 2026 cast iron comes from a different, unnamed foundry in Tennessee. Its stainless cookware was made by Heritage Steel in Tennessee until it moved to Italy by 2023, according to Prudent Reviews; its newer US stainless maker isn't named.
Our rough estimate: imported content in the cast iron is 0–5% (at most a knob); in the US stainless pans, imported clad layers are roughly 30–50% of the value.
Level 4 for its seasoned cast iron and USA Collection: its cast iron is sand cast and finished at a US foundry, but the company's own USA Collection label says the line uses domestic and imported components, and it names no maker.
Nordic Ware is a family-owned maker of aluminum bakeware and cookware for home kitchens, best known for the original Bundt pan, along with sheet pans, cake pans and nonstick cookware. A 2025 class action, Kaufmann v. Nordic Ware, challenges its Made in USA labels on aluminum bakeware; in December 2025 a federal judge in Minnesota let the case proceed.
Made in: Minneapolis, MN (Bundt pans cast and finished, and sheet pans stamped, at its St. Louis Park factory, with nonstick coatings from US suppliers). Its own label says made in America of domestic and imported materials.
Imported:materials in its bakeware (its own label: "America of domestic & imported materials"); aluminum first smelted in Canada before rolling at US mills (company statement, 2025).
Nordic Ware's cast aluminum bakeware page: "Proudly made in the USA with care and craftsmanship." Its Anniversary Bundt Pan page: "Proudly made in America," with the spec "Made In: America of domestic & imported materials."
Nordic Ware (2025): it has made its kitchenware in Minnesota for nearly 80 years using aluminum from US metal mills, and the initial processing of the bauxite ore is often done in Canada. The lawsuit says the aluminum is smelted in Canada and rolled at US mills in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. AllAmerican.org (11/2025): coatings come from suppliers in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin; treat bakeware and handles on some cookware are made in China.
Kaufmann et al. v. Nordic Ware (D. Minn., No. 25-cv-1379, over Naturals sheet pans): the motion to dismiss was denied on 12/29/2025, and a second suit was consolidated with it; the case is pending.
Production history: no move of its casting was found. A second suit, Bell v. Nordic Ware (filed 3/2026), also targets the foreign aluminum, not where the pans are cast. Import records through 10/2026 show finished "bakeware" from a Chinese supplier; nothing ties them to the cast Bundt pans.
Our rough estimate: for a cast Bundt pan, the Canadian primary aluminum is 15–25% of the value; casting, coating and finishing in Minnesota make up the rest.
Level 4 for its cast aluminum Bundt pans and bakeware: Nordic Ware casts and stamps its bakeware in Minnesota, but its own label says it uses imported materials, and its aluminum is first smelted in Canada.
Pyrex makes tempered glass baking dishes, pie plates, measuring cups, mixing bowls and glass food storage for home kitchens. In 2024 the US Pyrex business passed to Anchor Hocking, which closed the Charleroi, Pennsylvania Pyrex plant in April 2025 and moved production to its glass plant in Lancaster, Ohio.
Made in: Lancaster, OH (Pyrex glassware, moved from the Charleroi, PA plant in 2025). Retailers list current Pyrex baking dishes and measuring cups as made in the USA.
Pyrex's own bakeware and product pages name no country of origin. Target and the Navy Exchange list current Pyrex baking dishes, storage and measuring cups as "Made in the USA."
Manufacturing Dive (10/2024): Pyrex production at Charleroi was set to move to Lancaster, Ohio. Observer-Reporter (7/2026): Anchor Hocking moved operations to its Lancaster plant when Charleroi closed in April 2025, and the old plant is for sale. Neither Pyrex nor Anchor Hocking names the plant for Pyrex.
In 2023 the FTC settled with Instant Brands, then Pyrex's owner, over Pyrex measuring cups sold as Made in USA that were made in China in 2021–2022. Where the plastic lids on lidded sets are made isn't published.
Production history: a federal court record (W.D. Pa., 2024) says Anchor Hocking has made Pyrex prepware and storageware in Lancaster, Ohio under contract since 2009; the Charleroi bakeware plant closed on 4/11/2025, and TribLive (7/2025) confirmed bakeware production moved to Lancaster. Target listings checked 11/2/2026 say "Made in the USA." The Pyrex license is being moved to 1880 Hospitality, another company under the same private equity owner.
Our rough estimate: for a lidless glass dish, nearly all of the value is US-melted and pressed glass; on lidded sets, the plastic lids are 10–20% of the value.
Level 4 for its tempered glass baking dishes: the glass is melted, pressed and tempered in the US, now most likely at Anchor Hocking's Ohio plant, but Pyrex makes no origin claim on its own site, the lid origin isn't published, and the brand had a recent Made in USA settlement.
Regal Ware makes stainless steel, multi-ply and aluminum cookware for its own direct-sales brands, Saladmaster and Lifetime, and makes and ships cookware for about a dozen other companies. In 2026 the company renamed itself Regal Holdings and gave its manufacturing arm back the West Bend Company name.
Made in: West Bend, WI (cookware made by West Bend Company, at a factory in the city for over 80 years: drawing, forming, welding, trimming, buffing and polishing).
Regal Holdings describes West Bend Company as "the go to U.S. partner in production for world-class cookware brands around the world," and its name-change notice calls it "First in Mind, First in Choice for U.S. Manufactured Cookware." Its home page cites "more than 80 years of Wisconsin-based heritage and manufacturing."
CBS 58 (10/2025): the factory has been in West Bend for over 80 years and makes and ships cookware for about a dozen other companies. Saladmaster says its cookware is made in the USA; Cutco sells American Kitchen Elite cookware made by West Bend Company as "American Made with Globally Sourced Materials."
Import records for Regal Ware show clad metal from Korea Clad Tech, castings from a Chinese foundry, a pan handle item, and finished stainless goods from China in 10/2026. No legal actions were found.
Production history: Regal moved its Kewaskum manufacturing to West Bend in 2003, where West Bend Company still draws and finishes stainless cookware; it posted machine-operator jobs there in 2026. A Saladmaster factory tour (2024) and the factory outlet reopening (2025) also place production in West Bend.
Our rough estimate: likely imported clad stainless is 35–50% of a multi-ply pan's value, and handles and hardware 5–15%.
Level 4 for its multi-ply stainless cookware (Saladmaster and others): West Bend Company draws, forms and finishes cookware in its Wisconsin factory, but its brands use globally sourced materials, and import records point to Korean clad metal and Asian handles.
USA Pan makes commercial-grade nonstick bakeware for home bakers, including sheet, cake, loaf, muffin and brownie pans, with more than 500 products under its own name and for private labels. Its pans are sold by retailers such as King Arthur, Sur La Table and Williams Sonoma. The brand was launched in 2009 by the Bundy family's commercial bakeware company, founded in 1959.
USA Pan's half sheet page: "Proudly made in the USA from globally sourced materials." Its Our Story page: "Proudly made in the USA." Its Half Sheet Cooling Rack page says "Made in China" and "Rack imported."
News Tribune (4/2026): the plant is at 33 McGovern Blvd., Crescent, PA, with production in Glenwillard. AllAmerican.org (1/2026): most products are made in its Pennsylvania factory using imported materials; racks and baking mats are imported.
Import records for Premier Pan Co. (Crescent, PA) show coated steel and steel goods from Chinese and Brazilian suppliers. No legal actions were found.
Production history: made at the Bundy family's Crescent Township plant since the brand began in 2009; newspaper photos from 2/3–2/4/2026 show pans being pressed in Glenwillard, and the family named a new CEO in January 2026.
Our rough estimate: the aluminized steel coil, likely imported, is 20–35% of a pan's factory cost; in pan-and-rack sets the Chinese rack is 25–40% of the set.
Level 4 for its aluminized steel nonstick bakeware: the pans are formed and coated at the family's Pennsylvania plant, but the company says they are made from globally sourced materials, and the steel is likely imported.
Vollrath makes stainless steel and aluminum cookware, steam table pans, smallwares, countertop cooking and warming equipment, and frozen-treat machines for restaurants and commercial kitchens. The privately held company has been based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin since 1874 and in 2025 began a $40 million expansion there.
Made in: Sheboygan, WI (headquarters and stainless steel products) and Kewaunee, WI (aluminum cookware such as Wear-Ever, formed and fitted with handles). Vollrath also makes cookware in Spain and sells some imported lines.
Vollrath's Wear-Ever page: "Made in the USA, this cookware offers top performance in demanding commercial kitchen environments." Its Made in USA page says it will "continue to engineer and manufacture products in the USA."
Vollrath (12/2025): a $40 million first phase adds a 110,000 sq ft facility on its Sheboygan campus. A Kewaunee, WI job posting lists piercing, forming and riveting handles, spot welding and packaging. Its Newport, MN fabrication plant (not cookware) closed in 2026.
Where its aluminum sheet and handles come from isn't published. Customer reviews on dealer sites say some Tribute and Intrigue stainless pans are made in China, though some dealer badges still say Made in USA. No legal actions were found.
Production history: Vollrath bought the Kewaunee aluminum cookware plant in 1989 and the Wear-Ever brand with Lincoln Smallwares in 2009, after which Lincoln's Fort Wayne, Indiana cookware plant closed. Kewaunee job postings from April and September 2026 describe stamping presses, trimming, beading and riveting handles.
Our rough estimate: for a Wear-Ever stock pot, the aluminum sheet is 35–50% of the value and the handles 5–15%, both of unknown origin.
Level 4 for its Wear-Ever aluminum cookware: Vollrath labels its Wear-Ever aluminum cookware made in the USA and forms it at its Wisconsin plants, but the source of its aluminum and handles isn't published, and some of its stainless lines appear to be imported.
360 Cookware makes stainless steel vapor-cooking cookware, including fry pans, saucepans, sauté pans, stock pots, woks and cookware sets, for home cooks. It is owned by Americraft Cookware, which makes it in West Bend, Wisconsin.
360 Cookware's Where It's Made page: "over 85 percent of 360 Cookware production and components originate primarily in the USA." In 2019 its last US source for bonded material closed, so it now buys bonded materials from South Korea, and it removed its "Made in the USA" label. The page lists the long stick handle as made in China.
Prudent Reviews (4/2026): made primarily in West Bend by Americraft, with Korean bonded material since 2019; sold on its site, Amazon, Wayfair and Walmart. An Alliance for American Manufacturing article calling it "exclusively made in America" dates from 2015, before the switch.
No legal actions were found.
Production history: made in West Bend since 2004; in 2019 it switched to Korean bonded material and dropped its unqualified Made in the USA label, and its goal of returning to 100% US made by 2023 was not met.
Our rough estimate: the Korean bonded disks are 30–45% of a pan's value and the Chinese stick handle 5–10%; the company's 85 percent figure counts production and parts, not value.
Because the metal the pans are formed from is imported, we rate pans made here from imported clad metal no higher than 3.5.
Level 3.5 for its stainless steel waterless cookware: the pans are formed and the covers, lid handles and rivets made in West Bend, but the bonded clad metal they are formed from comes from South Korea and the long handles from China, so none of the pan's metal is confirmed American.
Heritage Steel makes 5-ply fully clad stainless steel cookware, including its Titanium Series and the Eater x Heritage Steel line, for home cooks and professionals. The Henn family has run the Clarksville, Tennessee factory, formerly New Era Cookware, for three generations.
Heritage Steel's Made in USA page: "All of our cookware and lids are fully manufactured at our factory in Clarksville, TN," "We source our cladded cookware steel from South Korea," and "many of our specialty materials are not readily available here." Its product badges read "Made in the USA with Global Materials."
Prudent Reviews (4/2026) says every pan is made in its Clarksville factory and that the handles are made in China and attached in the US; the company doesn't say where its handles come from.
No import records or legal actions were found.
Production history: the Henn family has run the Clarksville plant since 1983. Around 2020 its US clad sheet suppliers stopped, and the sheet now comes from South Korea. NBC News (8/2025): about 40 workers, with about 75 percent of its materials imported.
Our rough estimate: the imported clad sheet is 35–50% of a pan's value, and handles, if imported, another 5–10%.
Because the metal the pans are formed from is imported, we rate pans made here from imported clad metal no higher than 3.5.
Level 3.5 for its 5-ply stainless clad cookware: the pans and lids are formed and finished at its own Tennessee factory, but the clad steel they are made from, the most valuable material, comes from South Korea.
Viking Culinary makes stainless steel cookware, nonstick pans, bakeware and kitchen tools for home cooks under the Viking name. Clipper Corporation, of Carson, California, has held the Viking housewares license since 2014. Its Professional 5-Ply stainless cookware is the US-made line.
Made in: USA (Professional 5-Ply cookware, made in the USA with globally sourced materials). Viking 3-ply and 7-ply cookware is made mainly in China.
Imported:materials in the 5-Ply line (Viking: "globally sourced materials"); 3-ply, 7-ply, hard-anodized and cast iron cookware (country of origin China in its catalog).
Viking's 5-Ply Professional page: "Made in the USA with globally sourced materials." Its product pages say "Hand-crafted in the USA with globally sourced materials." Its catalog lists the Professional 5-Ply Satin line's country of origin as USA and other lines as China.
No factory, town or maker is named for the 5-ply line by Viking, AllAmerican.org (11/2025), Prudent Reviews or The Rational Kitchen. Import records for Clipper Corp show mostly Chinese suppliers of other goods; no clad sheet was visible.
No legal actions were found.
Production history: no source, from 2014 to 2026, names who makes the 5-ply pans or where. A claim that they are made in Greenwood, Mississippi appears to confuse them with Viking ranges.
Our rough estimate: a likely imported clad sheet is 30–50% of a pan's value; handles and lids of unknown origin another 5–15%.
Level 3.5 for its Professional 5-Ply stainless cookware: Viking labels its 5-ply line made in the USA with globally sourced materials, which matches this level, but no factory or maker is named, so the US work can't be checked.
None of the cookware makers on this page is rated a 5 yet, often only because a foundry or a material source isn't named. A few things are worth knowing before you buy:
Cast iron is the most American. Most of the smaller cast iron brands buy raw castings from US foundries they don't name, then machine, polish and season them in their own shops. When the casting is poured here, the main question left is the iron itself.
Clad stainless is formed here from imported sheet. Two makers here say their bonded clad steel comes from South Korea, and import records point the same way for others. By our rough estimates that sheet is 30 to 50 percent of a clad pan's value, even when the pan is drawn, formed, polished and riveted in the US. When a maker confirms the clad metal it forms is imported, we rate it no higher than 3.5. All-Clad is the exception here: it bonds its own metal in Pennsylvania.
Read the qualifier. Labels such as "made in the USA with global materials" or "of domestic and imported materials" mean part of the pan comes from abroad, even when it is cast or formed here.
Aluminum may start abroad. Nordic Ware says the aluminum in its bakeware is first processed in Canada and then rolled at US mills. Most makers don't say where their aluminum comes from.
Accessories are often imported. Glass lids, cooling racks, silicone tools and some enameled lines from US brands are made overseas, so check the item, not just the brand.
Each listing's research notes show what was checked and when, including our rough estimate of how much of the pan's value is imported. Ratings are rechecked as companies answer.

18 more companies from the 2021 list were re-checked, including where each has made its cookware over the years, and are still making cookware in the USA. Pyrex bakeware moved from Charleroi, Pennsylvania to Lancaster, Ohio in 2025; Made In's cast iron now comes from a foundry in Tennessee instead of Indiana; Regal Ware renamed itself Regal Holdings in 2026; FINEX is now owned by Lodge; LloydPans has been owned by CFS Brands since December 2025; and Alegacy makes its Eagleware in Santa Fe Springs, California.
Brooklyn Copper Cookware is paused. Its pans were made in Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin until 2024, when it moved its tooling to Texas to work with a new production partner. No new pans have gone on sale since, and we'll list it again once we know where they are made.
Every maker now has a Made in USA level from 0 to 5, with the sources and research notes behind it. See how the levels work.
