3 comments about SilverStone Simply Baking 9-by-5-Inch Loaf Pan.

1. The handle/rim on these pans makes them soooo much easier to remove from the hot oven than traditional larger loaf pans. Quality is quite good, more than adequate for breads, etc., and will likely last with proper care. I ordered a second set to give my mother, as I feel they are much easier and safer than the style without the handle/rim at the ends.



2. These are great pans! I have 2, and they were wonderful for banana bread and also a sweet potato loaf... there was no sticking, perfect browning, and they were so easy to clean. They are very sturdy and the extra large handles are a great bonus!



3. There are several loaf pans on the market that combine decent browning properties with a relatively non-stick finish and this is one of them. What makes this pan so much better is that the edges are extended on the ends to provide sturdy, rigid handles. This makes it easy and safe to remove hot pans from the oven.
   I own two and the non-stick is still intact after about a hundred loaves.

4 comments about Nordic Ware Cast-Iron Aluminum 9-by-9-Inch English Shortbread Pan.

1. This is a great pan for making shortbread. Much prefer it to the clay one it replaced.



2. These are fantastic. I already own 3 of the snowflake pans for Christmas (which everyone LOVED with the included recipe) and one of these. I had to order another so I could get two pans going at a time during the rest of the year. (Snowflakes in Texas summer just didn't fit). I'd recommend this to anyone. Nice, solid, heavy pan. No cheap aluminum. Non stick works perfect when you use bakers friend cooking spray. Clean up is fairly easy with only one or two flecks getting caught in the design. Definitely much better than the pottery ones which you risk breaking, chipping or just plain cracking.
   I expect I will have these a long time.



3. Quick delivery and my order arrived without damage. Thank you!



4. Nice pan, with the style and quality you expect from NordicWare. Only thing is that it's 9" square, not 9" x 11" as advertised. The folks at Amazon.com must have included the handles of the pan in their measurements, LOL!

5 comments about Chicago Metallic Commercial 12-1/4-by-9-Inch Small Jelly Roll Pan.

1. This is perfect size for roasting vegetables such as bell peppers and eggplants. It is very easy to clean up.



2. This is a top of the line jelly roll pan. I've used it for years and found that it's still very much like it was when I bought it. It is never going to warp, I'm convinced, and it withstands high temperatures. If I'm roasting something that is likely to stick badly, I cover it with foil to minimize cleanup. It's heavy duty... not like supermarket merchandise that's only a couple of dollars cheaper and is so flimsy that it warps the minute you turn up the heat.
   
   You won't do better than Chicago Metallic but you may pay more for another similar product and not be as satisfied.



3. Heavy duty pan. No warping in oven. Only thing that would make it better is if it were non stick



4. These jelly roll/sheet pans are extremely well built. They are very heavy and thick, do not warp, and should last a lifetime. They are the highest quality I have found, and I've owned many different brands.
   
   Be aware though, that they are NOT in any way non-stick, and are hard to keep clean. If you don't mind breaking out the steel wool to keep these in shape, they are excellent - if you are looking for something that's easy maintenance, however, go with non-stick. Of course, none of the non-stick ones will last anywhere near as long, as the teflon finish wears off any cookware after a while.



5. I was trying to decide whether to get this size or the bigger pan. Since the oven we have is not very big I got this small jelly roll pan. With this I can freeze cookie dough and marinade meat in it without taking up too much space in the fridge.
   
   I was disappointed that it arrived all scratched on the side (because the product was only loosely put in an open plastic bag). But I didn't bother to get an exchange since it wouldn't affect its performance.
   
   It is very sturdy and conducts heat really well. The rack of my toaster oven fits perfectly into this pan and I've just tried roasting chicken in it. The next thing I'll try is to bake some cake in it to see how well it works.
   
   For the price, I would say it is a definite good buy. Don't bother with the baking pan from the supermarket, they don't last! (And they are not that much cheaper either!!)

5 comments about Lodge Logic Cornstick Pan.

1. I love this pan. You can just pop them in your mouth no muss, no fuss. My husband who isnt a fan of cornbread, even loves them. I just make sure the oven is preheated, and my pan is sprayed well and I am good to go. I never have issues with sticking. Cast iron is wonderful for baking anything.



2. I HAVE USED THESE BEFORE WHEN I LIVED IN TEXAS. I HAD TO LEAVE MINE. AND WHEN I FOUND THESE I HAD TO GET THEM. I LOVE THE LITTLE EARS OF CORN THEY MAKE. I FORGOT HOW TO USE THEM SOME OF THEM STUCK BUT I REMEMBERED YOU HAVE TO OIL THEM AND THEN PUT THEM IN THE OVEN TO PREHEAT AND THEN TAKE THEM OUT THEN PUT THE CORN MEAL IN . I PUT MINE IN A ZIPLOC BAG AND CUT THE CORNER SO IT WASN'T MESSY AND IT WAS SO EASY TO REAL FILL THEM WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF THE OVEN.



3. Makes great corn bread, nice crisp outside. You have to remember to spray with Pam or you'll have a real mess.



4. Pre-seasoned cast iron is great. Followed the directions in a Cooking Light recipe and got wonderful crispy cornsticks. Popped out of the pan easily, no sticking. Preheat the pans in a 425 degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove and immediately coat with cooking spray. Spoon in batter and bake for 18 minutes.



5. The corn bread sticks. I may not know what I am doing. I preheated it in oven before I ever used it. I heat before use and have added oils and pam to prevent sticking, still sticks. The next step will be the Mom test. Maybe she can show me how to use without the sticking?

5 comments about Frieling Round Brotform 1-Pound Bread Rising Basket.

1. So I was going to purchase this from Amazon, but I just came across it somewhere else (breadtopia) for 17.00. That's pretty significant-almost half the price. Usually Amazon's prices are pretty good- why is this item so much more expensive here???



2. I have used this Brotform only three times, it is very nice for the second rise of dough for making bread, works well, I really like it



3. This item is way overpriced. There are many baskets available at a far less price. This is a do not buy.



4. I'm most pleased with the excellent quality of workmanship in this brotform. After researching via reviews and blogs, I knew quality varied depending on who made them and from which country it was imported. Anyway...I sprayed it initially with canola oil spray, liberally coated the whole inside with white flour, put in bread dough and waited awhile. Then I turned it out onto my hand and then turned the dough pattern side up, placing the dough on to a pizza peel. The baked pattern turned out pretty as a photograph. Somehow the handsomeness of the loaf added a festive quality to the lucky ones who cut the slices when it was still warm and fragrant. I am most pleased with this purchase.



5. Brotform is a must-have for anyone interested in creating artisan-style loaves at home. The basket is very well made and will last for a long time with proper care.
   The main difference between Brotform and a regular proofing basket lined with couche is the beautiful spiral pattern on the finished loaf. I also find that my loaves develop a slightly tighter crust when proofed in a Brotform basket. This may be due to the fact that the dough "breathes" a little more in it.
   Please note that dusting a Brotform with regular wheat flour may leave crusted bits on the bottom and sides (when flour comes in contact with water from the dough gluten starts developing). I have found that 1:1 mix of rice and AP white flour works best.
   And finally, make sure that the basket has a chance to dry out before putting it away.

4 comments about Wilton Excelle Elite 4-Cup Mini Loaf Pan.

1. It's a great pan, when you cook bread in it instead of as one big one, everything cooks more evenly and you have no soggy middles.



2. I used no spray and have made banana nut bread and corn bread in this with absolutely no sticking. Then, freeze what you don't eat! I love it.



3. Great product. Bakes well, cleans well. I'm ordering more because I gave mine away!



4. I'm one of those people who gives away cookies and breads at Christmas. This pan is a life-saver! Definitely helps you mass produce small loaves and the pan is rugged and dishwasher safe.

3 comments about Chicago Metallic Commercial 2-Piece Low-Fat Meatloaf Pan.

1. My family likes meatloaf on occasion but we hate all the grease. This is our third "healthy" meatloaf pan which bakes the meatloaf in an inner pan allowing the fat to render through the bottom holes and collect in the outer pan.
   
   I say this is our third pan, but it is our first Chicago Metallic Commercial pan....and it may be our last pan.....as I'm not sure this pan will ever die. It seems to be built like a battleship and will probably out last me and my children. Highly recommended!



2. I thought that all Chicago Metallic products were made in the USA. This pan was Made in China. Perhaps the pan will still perform well, but I would have not purchased had I known this in advance. Just my humble opinion.



3. The instructions say to wash before use, and that it is dishwasher safe. After only one run in the dishwasher both pieces were rusted! I had not even used it yet. It is badly rusted, and The Wire Whisk is not a comapny I will deal with in the future. They said they will "be inspecting the pan when they get it back" and based on that only then will they refund my money. Don't buy this pan, I found a much nicer one at Walmart yesterday for only five dollars by Wilton.

4 comments about Norpro Nonstick 8 Piece Petite Linking Loaf Pan.

1. I have tried baking banana cakes in this pan 3 times and each time they come out too dark on the outside while still raw in the middle. I never had this problem with petite baker pans before... just this set. The only thing I changed is the pans. I am sad about that!



2. Is perfect for my recipe of cornbread. It makes the perfect little loaves and they don't stick.



3. I use these pans to bake small loaf corn bread. It is the first pan that is truly stick free. The loafs literally fall out of the pan when turned upside down.



4. I have a large family and not everyone likes the same thing. With this product I can make something for everyone. It also makes great cakes that you can fill with pudding or whatever you like.

1 comments about Reco International Bread Baker.

1. As with all clay bakeware fron Reco I am once again delighted with the way this performs. The breads I make are old family recipes and for years I used Grandma's old metal pans and that was fine but over the years those old pans have started to fail. Since I started using the clay bakers the crust turn an even golden brown top and bottom AND I don't have to worry about lining the pans any more. Love this bread baker.
