Danesco Gastronome Pro cookware is made in China. They advertise that they are made of "Japanese steel" (whatever that implies...I really don't know, but HAVE had some bad experiences w some Chinese "stainless" cookware) ...but just for your information-if you want to know those types of things .... all 5 of the cookware products I have in the Gastronome Pro line were made in China. That said, they were worth what I paid for them. Your worth may vary as to the price you paid. Much better than average, this skillet cleans up very well and cooks well with the encapsulated thick base. Unlike some other gastronome pro pieces, the handle is riveted through into the skillet with 4 rivets instead of welded like some other gastronome pro cookware. It's possible this is riveted because of the nonstick but I don't know that for a fact. I personally prefer their welded handles-leaving a totally smooth surface inside...but the other pieces I have are stainless, not nonstick. The hollow handle is long the way I like a handle and the skillet looks good and polishes up very well with some bar keeper's friend. It also hangs properly w/ the flattened end... much like a lot of restaurant-type cookware can be hung on almost any size hook. Keep in mind the handle IS long (about 10.5"-yes, just the handle) so you can choose your own preference on that aspect. I like the skillet just fine for what I paid for it. I have no idea how good the nonstick surface will perform over time and the tag on the (plain white box packed) skillet told me nothing of what kind of nonstick it is. This seems to be a well-made, sturdy skillet; not heavy, but w/ some heft.
I don't think you would be unhappy w/ the purchase of it on initial receipt. I will try and let those who may be interested how this cookware holds up over time ...at some time in the future. Hope this answers some questions for those who are like me and had never seen Danesco products before and knew (previously) nothing about them.
