This pan is made in the USA and has been for decades. The quality is superior to cheaper, thin, stamped pans. This baby is cast aluminum which is the second most even heating metal. Lined with a durable non-stick so that your creations turn out easily. I wish you could feel the weight of this...it would make you understand why it is a bit pricey. It is worth every penny. This size holds a 6 cup recipe and is 8 1/4" across. Now if you could just worm the Lemon Lulu recipe out of Jacki or Ron at Mother Myrick's...that is truly the best bundt cake ever!!
