What to know about USA Pan 1050HS-UN

USA Pan's bare version: an aluminized-steel half sheet with no nonstick coating. ATK rates it Highly Recommended; it warped slightly in testing but recovered once cool.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

America's Test Kitchen rates it Highly Recommended. USA Pan's product page says it is made without any nonstick coating, and it is rated to 450°F, made in the USA and covered by a lifetime limited warranty. It is a sensible choice if you want a sturdier, heavier pan than Nordic Ware's aluminum and don't want a coated surface.

Note that the food surface is the pan's aluminum-silicon coating on steel, not stainless or plain aluminum.

What to know

Skip it if you want a manufacturer PFAS statement on the pan's own page; its PFAS-free wording appears only on the Amazon listing. USA Pan's page also carries a leftover Americoat block, so confirm you're buying the uncoated 1050HS-UN.
