Is anyone concerned that these aremade in China adn what is used to make them? What makes the inside surface "non-stick?"

I'm not concerned about the material. It feels and looks like what you would expect from stoneware. If you think about ceramic bowls with the handle that some restaurants use to serve French Onion Soup, you'll understand why it is non-stick. Stoneware is basically a ceramic (i.e., earthenware) that is fired at a much higher temperature. So, it is suitable for use in a microwave (all ceramics cannot be put in a microwave). Get yourself a set...you won't regret it!

I don't remember exactly, but I do think China - I could be wrong though, there is a sticker on the bottom of the pans. For the record, these have been run through our dishwasher a few times (2year olds love to help with chores!) and they are not tarnished or warped at all.

Nothing on the pans or paperwork that I have found says where it was manufactured so I would bet it's not in the U.S.A. But they are good pans not perfect but I like them.

Even though the manufactured is "American Inovations" the product is made in China. We have used ours for close to a year with no problems. Number 1 recommendation by Ameicas Test Kitchen.

I wouldn't worry. The Japanese are so particular about the quality of their food! If these came from China, I'd be concerned.

The ones I have looked at have stainless steel inside, not non stick. Haven't listed, but several.

I checked our pans and there is nothing on them on where they are made... I did a couple of searches with varying answers... perhaps contact their customer service department? Let us know what you find out...

China. I didn't find out until I got them. I searched everywhere and couldn't find an answer. I also have 2 pans that have chips from the factory and the coating peels off with a fingernail. Very disappointed!!! The manufacturer wants 7.00 shipping to ship the product back to cover under warranty.

Oddly, it's not stamped on pots/pans nor is it listed on product brochure; however, the box says, made in china. But I must say, they are well made products. I've had my set for a couple years and bought my girlfriend one too. Like anything, if you take care and follow instructions--they will look like new and cook quick and evenly for years. But they do scratch easily of you use metal utensil...which they warn clearly against...plastic utensils are the way to go and the clean up easier than any dish you've ever had. And I should know cause I hate doing dishes--wish they were all made of this material :-)

Great question....I looked it up and they are made in China. Bummer about that but they do work great!

I can't find a makers mark anywhere on the pans which leads me to believe they are made in China.

Hello Mary Beth, These are manufactured in the USA. Compare with other brands not manufactured in the USA and you will find they are more durable, better quality then that of the Chinese made counterparts, and they are NOT manufactured with fillers, much like the Chinese made cups. These are 100% food grade silicone. To test for fillers in the Chinese made cups, stretch the cup and you will see the the color turn white in the creases or bends. Ours do NOT turn white because they are NOT manufactured with fillers. 100% food grade silicone creates a better product all the way around. It is cheaper for the larger retailers and some online retailers to purchase off shore and ship state side. We chose not to follow that process and found a manufacturer that met our needs for silicone baking cups. We hope you enjoy their quality. - The Quality Indulgence Team

The back of the pan does not say specifically where they are made. There is no "made in China" notice. The brand is Liberty Ware and their logo is the Statue of Liberty in a horseshoe of stars.

Made in China. I can't find anything that looks like Teflon or any other protective coating.

I looked everywhere I could think of to find that answer. They r distributed in the USA no where do they tell you where they r made. Which leaves me to believe China I won't buy them till they fess up. Very disappointed in the co. I used them since I was a little girl.

HN: Sorry, I can't answer those questions for sure, as I threw away the packaging when I received this pan. I did a quick internet search, and it appears these pans are made in the USA by the company at this website http://www.columbianhp.com/index.html Good luck! - JL
