It's plain solid through anodized aluminum. There is no better quality pan out there. Top of the line. I've owned everal expensive and not so expensive"name brand" sets of pans and this by far my favorite! I've been a chef in and out of the restaurant business for 22 years and have had lots of opportunity to try all kinds of pans before purchasing for myself. I don't think you would be disapointed.

Not being a metallurgist, I cannot say for sure, but it appears to be nothing but stainless steel. The aluminum looks to be entirely sandwiched in the base and not exposed anywhere.

The original is aluminium and the replacement is cast iron. We bought two because of this

I believe it is cast aluminum, but it appears to be strong as it sits in a well made cone shaped steel bed in the safe. The walls and bottom of the safe are rolled steel and painted for moderate corrosion resistance.

It's a pro-clad aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel. After over 6 months of use it has preformed better than I could have wished, and at less than 1/2 the price of All-Clad

I believe it's an aluminum pan with a stainless steel turning system and a wooden handle.

they are aluminum. They have only lasted us about a year. The handles have come loose, the ceramic has cracked on the 4 quart sauce pan and the little frying pan.

I would assume so being cast iron. Pan is really good quality, I would recommend it

This is what their website says:pan bottom made of stress-relieved chill-cast aluminium and the long-lasting and tough cut-proof non-stick coating in high-tech titanium.Hope that helped :)

It is made of high quality anodized aluminum which is great for even heating. I have been using the 3 and 1/2 liter pan for 2 Months and am in love with this product!

"Aluminized Steel" is a steel pan base with an outer layer of aluminum bonded to it. It's kind of like "inside-out" clad stainless steel cookware. With clad pans, the aluminum is sandwiched between 2 layers of stainless steel. Here, carbon steel has had aluminum bonded all around it. Treat it like any bare aluminum pan, no dishwasher, no abrasive cleansers or oven cleaner, etc... USA Pans have perfect release and clean beautifully with a soapy sponge. Nothing sticks. Ever.

The pan is made of aluminum. The construction distributes heat evenly, giving both sides a perfectly browned finish.

It's all stainless steel, no aluminum. The outside bottom of the pan has a thick layer of stainless steel to prevent food from burning.

David - Cast Aluminum. Nice heavy material...should last many years. Put mine in last summer...they come on every night, even when buried in deep snow.

It is cast iron, very heavy with grooves on the bottom. We like it and have to be careful when lifting to ensure grease drips in the pan. We season after every use.

Aluminium. But it's heavily coated with some kind of inert food safe coating. Works great.
