I purchased 3 of these loaf pans to replace some aging AirBake pans. They are heavy and the loaves bake nicely, but cleanup is a major problem due to the pan design. The ends are constructed by "folding" metal over metal. After washing, water collects under the "flap" and is rusting the corners of the pans. I've tried to wash and leave them upside down to airdry, but they are still turning orange in the corners, which is very hard to remove. I will be replacing these pans before I do any more holiday baking.

Bought this pan on Amazon and I love it so far. I've used it to bake bread and as a form for meatloaf and it has held up very well so far. It is a good, solid pan with rolled edges that make it even sturdier.

The metal is steel so despite what someone else said in a review, it will eventually rust...just how soon it rusts depends on what you do in respect to taking care of it. That being said, it cleans up easily so far and nothing has stuck to it yet.

I can't even give this pan the two stars that McConnell granted. The rusting problem is way too big an issue.

I love these pans! Just getting ready to buy a couple more as I've been making several batches of different breads almost weekly. Easier to do it all at once as it saves on clean up time.

As far as cleaning the pans themselves, I haven't had any problem at all with crumbs getting stuck on these, although I have on the mini pans. I've found that greasing the pans adequately stops the problem completely.

Also, follow bread directions carefully as some recipes suggest lowering the oven temp by 25 degrees for darker pans.
