5.0 out of 5 stars Best you can get March 16, 2011

Unless you built your own, you are not going to get a better pan than this. I am a professional chef and while NOT a professional baker, the one thing we bake with at work is a set of ten 24-cup muffin tins made by Chicago Metallic that we use primarily for making cornbread muffins. This bread pan is every bit as well made as those muffin tins , from heavy gauge metal. I expect it will take on the seasoned, darker look over time as our muffin tins have.
Some other reviewers have complained about the folded corners getting dough stuck in them. That may be the case if you bake primarily quick breads like banana-nut bread or others that are made with a batter. I have only used mine to make bread from a kneaded dough and have not had any problem with the dough getting stuck in the corners. After second rising and baking in the pan my loaves slide right out beautifully. A glass or terra cotta bread pan might be a better choice for quick breads but if you are making risen white, wheat or rye, this is the one you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this pan! March 16, 2011

I bake a lot of whole wheat bread for my family. We've been using old, battered, basic metal bread pans that needed replacing, and decided to give the Chicago Metallic uncoated pans a try. Today was the test run and I am thrilled with the results. The loaves (I baked eight) rose beautifully, cooked evenly, and literally fell right out of the pans (I used a light coating of cooking spray, but I wonder if the spray is even needed). Even the bottoms and sides browned nicely and the crust had a delicious toasted texture to it, something my old pans never produced. These pans have a very substantial look and feel and cleaned up very well. I expect we will be using them for many years to come and the investment will be well worth it.

Perhaps the biggest benefit to our family is that because of the size and shape of the pans (minimal, with no extra edges or lips) I can actually fit eight of them on one rack in my oven at a time -- barely. I have a Bosch mixer and large bowl that allows me to make a bread recipe totaling 28 cups of flour, or 8 one pound loaves. So to be able to bake them all at once is pretty much priceless. Thanks Amazon for a great price on a great pan.

4.0 out of 5 stars difficult cleaning November 1, 2010

Pan is great for baking but....
Pan is constructed with, probably, single sheet of metal being folded to shape pan. When using, some dough seeps around edges and lodges in extremely slight opening on lower edges where metal is folded over. Very difficult cleaning and can't tell is any has gone up under the edges.
