Commercial Loaf Pan (1.5-lb.) by Chicago Metallic

I have been pleased with the weight and sturdiness of this pan, and with its performance with baked items. I do wish it was constructed differently, as the corners are VERY difficult to clean. Food particles get trapped in between where the layers of metal meet, making cleaning even with a toothpick tricky. I'm also disappointed that my pans seem to have spots of rust or other irregularities that I cannot get off. I have never used the dishwasher, and the spots only appeared after I've cooked with them. If soaking them in water is the culprit, I'm guilty of that, because it is the only way I've found to remove all the baked on food.

If I were to start my buying search over, I'd look for smooth edges on the interior of the pan.

I like this pan very much, but I really wanted this pan in a 2 lbs size but your company did not have it.

I am in the process of changing ALL my baking pans to commercial grade pans, preferably Chicago Metallic. I am getting rid of everything that is lined with the black non-stick coating. After experiencing uncoated commercial pans, I am hooked. Although I have not yet used this pan, I am positive that it will perform beautifully because I sure enjoy using my cake pans which are all commercial grade Chicago Metallic. This product is very high quality, heavy, well constructed, and made with high quality material. For the money, it is well worth it; particularly considering it may be the last bread pan you'll ever buy.

you guys didn't have the product in stock and you decided to cancel the order instead of shipping it when you received it in stock.

I use aluminiized steel pans only for baking. I own cake,loaf,cookie sheets, and muffin pans. With the use of parchment paper, my baked items never come out to brown on edges on bottoms.I ordered from Cooking.com because I needed one more loaf pan and could not find it in local stores.
