Questions & Answers

The product seems to be made in the USA, but where exactly is it manufactured? There is one place that says yes, and one reviewer says that her pans were marked "made in China.". Was it that or the other?

There may be similarities, but it cannot be said that pans made in China are identical to those made in the United States! There is no such thing as all steel being It used to seem to me like stainless steel is stainless steel, didn't it? Not at all. As an example, there are multiple formulations with varying amounts of nickel or cadmium. It is possible to have food grade material, surgical grade material, as well as rusty junk. Cutting corners is a dangerous practice that has occurred in China in the past, and has resulted in a poor record. Obviously, our businesses are drawn to the area for the same reasons This is because the labor is cheaper. Anything that comes into contact with food from there would not be trusted. Melamine in dog food, lead paint on toys, etc., are just a few examples.

Can you see straight upwards and downwards the sides of the pan?

There is a flat plane on each side, but instead of a 90-degree angle, each side forms an arc about 30 degrees long. Another way to look at it is that the top of the pan has measurements of 8x3 Size 3/8" by 4 There are 1/2" in the top of the pan, while there are 7" at the bottom Three-quarters of an inch by three inches A 3" diameter. These pans are great because the corners are sharp (as opposed to most other loaf pans like Pyrex - The glass pans are usually of this type).

The product of 5 x 4 is 5. Is there an inside and outside measurement for size 5 that does not include the rim, or is the rim included in the outside dimensions?

At the top of the pan, these are the dimensions on the inside (meaning inside the rim). Since the bottom is smaller than the top, the pan has a flared shape. I would estimate the volume to be The pan is suitable for one pound loaves. There are several.

Does it ever take you a long time to dry these pans? Is the water that gets trapped in the seams responsible for rusting the pans?

If you're worried about them being wet, I usually put them in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes at 300 degrees. The same applies to cast iron and carbon steel.

Selected User Reviews For Chicago Metallic Commercial II Traditional Uncoated 1-Pound Loaf Pan - (Pack of 3)

Pan bakeware from USA is not as good as that made in the United States
3/5

As a result of reading some reviews, I purchased these two pans (the Chicago Metallic Commercial II and the USA Pan Bakeware, shown here) In comparison, the USA Pan (16 oz) weighs a little less than two ounces. its color is slightly lighter than the original version. As it is the USA Pan that has corrugated sides, the Chicago pan has smooth There didn't seem to be any difference between the baking processes because of that. A white loaf of bread was baked in each pan, from the same batch of dough, and they both came out nearly the same (except for the Besides, I am new to bread baking, so I do not yet know how to do it). Having lightly oiled and floured each pan, I placed the dough inside. The Chicago pan stuck a little bit when I tapped it out when I first put it in (see photos), while the USA pan came out just fine. In addition, I made wheat bread after these photos were taken and that bread REALLY stuck to the sides of the Chicago pan, but it did not stick to the USA pan. The USA Pan and the Chicago Pan both have a similar shape, though the USA Pan tapers down more than the Chicago Pan (see photos). A durable product- They have been on my desk for less than a month, and I have used them at least 10 times at this point. Its seams are not as precise as those of the Chicago pan- There is a little gapier seam on the USA Pan compared to the Seams of the USA Pan. Perhaps it is only the one I received, I have no idea. will get caught in both of them, this will always happen with this style of loaf pan, it's just the way it is. Hand washing is ideal, and I lay the dishes out in an angled manner on the dish rack to let the water drain Though the Chicago pan is a good quality pan which will last for years to come, I prefer the simplicity of the USA Pan - it is easy to use, just use the handle and roll. The loaf would not have to be scraped loose by anyone using it, which makes me like it.

Commercial pans definitely do not belong to you
3/5

The pans that are being advertised as "commercial" are awful. Although they're fine for a home baker, I'm disappointed since I normally love Chicago Pans, and I was willing to spend the extra money on this brand, but they are just not worth it. This is not a good stacking method. It's essential to me as an actual commercial baker that my bread pans fit neatly and take up the least amount of space I just bought ten pans that stand nearly an inch apart when they are stacked, which means the ten pans I just bought stand over 25 of the cheaper ones I had also brought. The pans are so heavy they become stuck together when stacked, so buttering becomes an Olympic feat which requires a lot of separation before buttering, and the corners have sharp unfinished edges that can be dangerous when buttering. Though they say they are dishwasher safe, although it appears they will still be bread pans after they've been washed in the dishwasher, they are unfinished pans that look like they're going to fall apart. Discolored and coated with the dark grey oxidation that appears on items that shouldn't be put in the dishwasher, they are all discolored and discolored. You can see the discoloration on both your hands and your bread. I want to emphasize that hand washing pans isn't convenient for a commercial baker who bakes more than 50 loaves at a time. This is a good pan for making a few loaves of bread at a time and could be cleaned by hand. It bakes evenly and nicely when used, and it's a sturdy pan that would work for a home baker. Despite already owning a pair of Chicago pans that I absolutely love, I am so unhappy with these that I honestly want to.

Thank you for your service
5/5

To sell my bread, I make two loaves a week. It's a pleasure to use these pans. Since I spray them with nonstick spray before using them, I have never had a baked good stick to them. Whenever I bake a loaf of bread, I get nice browned results every time. In the past, I have used similar pans that had a coating that began to come off once the bread was cooked. A few months ago I went in search of new pans after that started happening. Since I started using these about two months ago twice a week, they have been working quite well for me. The pans have very sharp corners, so I don't like washing them. Cleaning them doesn't seem to be enough for me. I am very satisfied with my overall experience. Those are the only two items I need to order.

It rusts like a fake pan
3/5

Having purchased this loaf pan a few weeks ago and having found it to be excellent, I decided to buy another. A darker shade of blue is this one in comparison to the first. Additionally, the seams on the four top corners of the shirt began to rust During the baking process, I noticed the oils I used before I baked the bread had turned black. It looks like the leakage of metal caused the color? These two pots were sold by Amazon, so I have no idea what to make of these. My second authentic one is much less beautiful than the first one, so I am not sure if I should purchase.

This is a great bread loaf pan
5/5

Previously, I had used the vintage Silver Beauty bread loaf pans my mother-in-law owned, and I was seeking a similar version. The Chicago Metallic pan is as close to the vintage pan as it can get. This heavy gauge metal produces better bread due to the solid feel and thick gauge. As long as you wash and dry them standard ways, some water will remain in the corners, however, the company's recommendation is to wash, dry, and then put the pan in the still-warm oven (upside down) and that will help to dry any water remaining. The metal is not rusted.

3/5

Make sure you understand how small it is! There's glue on the label that doesn't wash off the awful In spite of soaking it three times with water and water, the aluminum has started to Despite the coating on the pan, the glue is more powerful than it. There just aren't any pans of this size I can get my hands on, which is so disappointing. As well as being very cute, it's very well made. You have to be prepared that your luck might not be in your favor if you try your luck. Oh gosh, I've never seen glue this tough in my life, so I hope you guys have better luck with your pan! And hopefully the seller can find a different glue because oh my gosh, I have never seen a glue this tough!.

It is well worth purchasing! It's a good set of Aluminum is a heavy duty material and conducts heat evenly, resulting in a better loaf and more even cooking
5/5

The corners of the pieces are folded, and no seams are visible. Rolling the top edges over and smoothing them out results in a smooth looking edge. There are different sizes available for them, as well. I've heard they are recommended by Cooks Illustrated magazine, and I believe that it Their non-existence is not in question It's okay to be a stick, but it isn't necessary These are six trays in various sizes that I have and would recommend them to your bakers.
