Bread pans. What do you like?

[Miss Peregrine]

I need to buy more bread pans. I have one unglazed stoneware that works fabulously. I have heard about steel bread pans so I am interested.

What do you use and love besides Teflon/nonstick?

recently.....since I've been using the No-Knead Bread recipe (which, if interested I can post) - I've been using a heart-shaped LeCrueset pot with lid. Gives the bread a great crisp crust! Dh LOVES this bread (good-bye dreams of ever owning a breadmaker!!)

But other than that - I've used PC stoneware & metal bread pans.

I was given their muffin pans for Christmas and love them. When I need a bread pan, I will purchase one from there. Right now I am using a Chantal bread pan that works fine. I just have to really butter the pan beforehand.

Ooohhh, I like that they are American made.

We love our Caephelon (sp?) pans.

...the pizza or baking stone by Pampered Chef. I think this type of stone is available by other distributors as well, however PC has the loaf pans as well.
Nothing burns and bread comes out great every time.

This place looks awesome; thanks for sharing!

PC stone, hands down best thing!

I have the best luck with it. I use the "Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a Day" recipes and bake bread almost daily.

Not so good luck with metal pans - the sides always come out undercooked, but maybe I haven't experimented enough with pans.

For Christmas one year my sister bought me some of the dimpled Norpro bread pans, and I really love them.

She ordered them from www.breadbeckers.com. I'm not sure there's a photo of them on the Breadbeckers site; you may have to google Norpro bread pans to see them.

I love my Pampered Chef stoneware loaf pans.

I've had them for 15 years and they just get better with time. I get raves about by crusts. I really like the Pain de Mie pan.

I use their 9 and 10 loaf pans for everything else.

When I make bread, it's 4 or 5 loaves at a time, using my Bosch. I cannot imagine spending such big bucks on pottery:eek:

Long ago, a friend had some that had vertical lines/valleys/indentations/something on hers, so that when her bread was done, she could slice it right on those lines. The pans were not *dimpled,* you understand. Sadly, she moved to France before I became interested in bread baking and Bosch, so I was never able to ask her where she got those very kewl pans.

That is what I do, too. But I am considering it because that one stoneware loaf pan makes the biggest best loaf. I have one metal pan that is not great and the rest are free form.

and I love them. I got the longest bread pan so the loaves are really like double the normal size. The bread raises great and releases fantastic. Never underbaked.

I also got them from breadbakers at ICHE conference.

Could you post the recipe for Artisan Bread in 5 min a Day? Never heard of it. Suppose I could google it as well.
Always looking for new bread recipes!

I recently bought Doughmakers for my bread and really like them.
