Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Having trouble getting French bread to look and taste like the local baker's? This professional perforated French bread pan is the answer. With two 16-by-4-inch curved holders, it's ideal for making two loaves of French bread. The perforations in the curved holders promote a crisp crust and even browning by allowing the oven's heat to reach the bread directly. Heavy-gauge steel and a Silverstone nonstick surface deliver a quick release and easy cleanup. --Jane DePaolo

Product Description

At last the secret to baking authentic crusty French bread at home is revealed! The perforated surface allows moisture to escape, resulting in a satisfying crunch. The unique shape of the pan provides a real, honest-to-goodness baguette, or actually a pair of baguettes. Now put on some Edith Piaf, pour yourself a glass of wine, and get baking!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous pan, highly recommend!!!, May 3, 2006

By	Amalfi Coast Girl (Mid-Atlantic, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Chicago Metallic 69610 Professional Nonstick Perforated French Bread Pan (Kitchen)

If you love to bake, you will love this pan. I have two different Baguette pans, this one and a non-stick non-perforated pan. This pan seems to make bread that is a little bit crisper on the exterior.

This pan is very easy to clean by hand I do not bother to use the dishwasher.

The bread is perfectly formed in this pan. No more flat looking loaves that you get when you form the baton on the baking stone.

Suggestions for perfect French bread:
1. Use a French bread pan, instead of placing the bread directly on the baking stone
2. Use a serrated knife sprayed with oil to cut the slashes in the bread
3. Place this pan on top of screaming hot (500 degree) baking stone
4. Mist the dough with water as soon as it is placed in the oven to get the oven spring
5. Turn the bread half way through baking
6. Don't cut the bread for at least 20 minutes after it comes out of the oven

If you love to bake you will really enjoy this pan. I highly recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pan, Very Easy to Use, November 22, 2000

By	K. Stewart "simply scrappy" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Chicago Metallic 69610 Professional Nonstick Perforated French Bread Pan (Kitchen)

My favorite reason for using this pan is that the loaves of bread come out perfectly shaped every time. If your French bread tends to flatten out and lose it's shape, this pan is just what you need. Clean up is very easy, too.

This french bread pan is awesome! The loaves come out looking just like the ones bought in the grocery store. It's light and easy to use as well as easy to clean. I use mine a lot.
