These are well made and easy to clean. Just make your loves, let them rise and then put in the oven. The loves are on the long, narrow (as is says, Baguette) side, so if you are looking for something wider, you may want to look around some more.

This product works great. I use it with the recipes from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Bakingand I am very satisfied with this product.

I've used this pan to make batards and seeded baguettes many times and we just love it! The texture and color of the bread comes out even and perfectly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Don't forget to steam the oven (easiest to add boiling water to a pan on the lower shelf of the oven). I highly recommend this pan and have already told all my friends about it. Check the sizes in the detail of the product for the right size. I like this 15.5" long one. Two of these loaves is enough for 4 huge sandwiches or a ton of bruschetta! Cleaning the pan takes minimal energy, just use a scrub brush to run over the holes.

These pans make bread that is not as big around as I had hoped but otherwise, they work nicely. The perforations work as advertised: bread is crispy all around.

Newbie baker, my loaves bake perfectly every time, crunchy chewy crust on the bottoms, perfect crumb inside...easy cleanup...flanges easy to handle.baguette pan

It's a non-stick pan for baguettes just like you buy in a Paris boulangerie.

I'm using the "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day" basic recipe. No issues with sticking. (If you did have a sticking issue, I'd suggest a quick spray with oil, adding a bit of flour to the dough, and/or a couple more minutes in the oven.)

The result, with a cup of water in a hot pan under the baking shelf to produce steam that gets you the nice outer crust, is nothing short of perfect.

Love it!

I bake a LOT of bread for a home cook. Really, probably 6+ loaves a week. I give some way, use some for crumbs and others for croutons. I usually make my variations of the new york times "no-knead" bread recipe. Delicious! But we also like to have french loaves around the house for subs and spreading stuff on. I have a baparoma steam baking pan which makes great loaves. But I only have one and making more than a loaf at a time can be very time consuming. These things are not made any more and I wasn't going to pay the $50 plus to get one on ebay. These pans are the charm. Let the proofed bread rise then stick in a preheated oven - great bread every time. Make sure you have steam in your oven - a pan with a little water in the bottom or like me - I throw in a handful of ice cubes.

The product is desribed as a pan (not pans). I needed two so I purchassed two, but they cam in sets of 2 so I now have 4 pans. Price was reasonable enough so I kept both sets.

This wasn't what I was expecting. I spent more time trying to pry the bread away from the pan even after spraying it with non stick spray. The dough gets down in the holes and cooks there and doesn't break free without tearing the loaf.

Well the title basically said it all. Received this item was very impressed with sturdiness and the fact that it came very clean. The other pan I ordered (different manufacturer) had to be ran through dishwasher. Baked baguette in it, came out fine (in both senses the non-stick works perfectly).
And the price compared to Chicago Metallic (which of course can be a great product, I wouldn't know) is super nice.
