I only gave this product 4 stars because of the design. It is a good and solid piece of bakeware that has a nice nonstick finish but the corners tend to trap food and water. I had to use a butter knife with a paper towel on the end to remove the food (meat loaf) from each corner. Once you wash it, it also tends to get water trapped in the same corners. I have to dry it several times before I put it away to make sure the water is done leaking.

<br> As an avid baker, I have purchased many loaf pans from various makers. I found the Caphalon to be heavier, MUCH more scratch resistant . It also provided very fast release and easy clean up, even when sweet breads and sticky buns were used. I definitely will be replacing my pans with Calphalon!

Excellent construction and solid weight. I look forward to many delicious pound cakes and succulent meat loaves.

Perfect for my large loafs - be it Banana or Mango bread as well as Meatloaf.

I have many products from Calphalon and thought I should try the bread pan. I make all of my bread, so I needed a pan that could be used on a daily basis.<br>It does all that I could hope for. Really worth it's weight and a great value for my use.
