Caraway Non-Stick Ceramic-Coated 1 lb Loaf Pan

I had planned at one time to buy a loaf pan from another well-known toxin-free brand, but when I was ready that company didn't have any available on Amazon any more! I didn't know what I was going to do - it was getting beyond tedious to line my anodized steel loaf pan multiple times a week with parchment paper (I didn't trust that that loaf pan was fully toxin-free). I began searching for an alternative, and Caraway popped up in my search! I was first put off by the list price, but thankfully Prime Day came around and I got it for $35! When it arrived, I was a bit concerned because its dimensions were smaller than my steel pan. I thought I would end up with small breads that might get gummy inside if it didn't bake well. I can say that my fears were entirely put to rest when I baked my first bread in it! That bread gained impressive height in the oven, and despite not reducing the volume of my recipe for the pan size, it baked all the way through!! I realised that what the pan lacked in length, it made up for in making my breads rise higher. The bread did not stick to the pan at all, either. I did not grease or flour the pan at all, and it was still the easiest and non-messy 'release' from a loaf pan that I've ever seen! I love that I no longer need parchment paper, because let's face it: parchment is basically silicone-coated and it's not exactly natural. I have only made breads in it so far, but I can see it being great for other baking needs due to the even distribution of heat and its natural nonstick interior. Now onto the build quality: The pan is not as heavy as my steel pan, but it has a nice weight to it, unlike plain aluminum pans. Very sturdy, but the ceramic coating on the outside can get scratched and possibly chipped if you're not careful. What I do to 'bang out the bubbles' (from the leavening) to the top is to put a couple of padded hot mats underneath to protect the finish. Works like a charm! I also hand-wash this (as I do everything since I don't have a dishwasher) after it has cooled. It's such easy clean up because nothing sticks to the inside! If you worry about scratching the bottom of the pan, then take care not to slide it on the oven rack. You would also want to take care in storing it. I keep mine in a bread bag in the drawer under the oven, with a few paper towels underneath for cushioning. This may seem excessive and unnecessary to some people, but I love this pan so much that I don't want it to get scratched or chipped on the outside. As for colours, I had teetered between the Sage (which is a deeper hue) and the Perracotta. I LOVE green, but the Perracotta looked pretty and fun! In the end, I chose the Sage because it brought back memories of my beloved grandmother's kitchen. Now every time I make bread, it's kind of like she's still here with me. 💕 I have no regrets! 😊

This stuff is great, as soon as I got these Baking pans, after a light cleaning from manufacturing, I mixed up some batter and tried them out. AMAZING !!! I began to get other items from Caraway in my Amazon shipments and had the best time trying them out. With out a doubt, you will agree this cookware is absolutely the thing all women and men need in their kitchens as the vessels are totally clean when you are done cooking and so simply they look brand new when your done from the stove. Food cooks evenly also, no soft spots they transfer heat directly to what you are cooking. And another bonus, the handle is not hot, magically the transfer from pan to handle is missing the BURN. I really like that, and my wife have been aware of Ceramic pans for some time but this set is GREAT !!!

I love all of my caraway products. Just made banna bread in my new loaf pan and it came out amazing. Products are a bit pricey but worth it I will continue to buy caraway!!

This Caraway loaf pan came nicely packaged ensuring no damage. I gave it a quick hand wash & dry as soon as I unpacked it. I just got to use it to make a loaf of homemade whole wheat bread and as you see from the pictures no bread stuck to the interior of the pan. I let my bread cool for 10 junk before taking it out of the pan and I litterally just turned it over & it slid right out, that has never happened w/all my other loaf pans. Yes I slightly "greased" the pan w/butter before putting my dough in for the final rise (and thats because all bread recipes tell you to do so, even if using non-stick pans, so I did but it litterally was minimal. The pan itself is light weight and seems well made. The non stick factor just proved to work great and I will be sure not to use metal utensils on or in it to make sure it stays preserved. I intend to hand wash my pan (as I do so w/all my pots & pans) but it is dishwasher safe. I absolutly am happy w/this loaf pan and feel its worth the price. As you also see from the picture of the bread it appears to have evenly baked the bread so appears evenly distributed the heat. I cant wait to cut into it!! Once it cools I can guarentee it'll just be a quick hand wash and dry.

I finally tossed out all my old, scrapped metal pans for this ceramic one. I’ve baked several loaves in it already and I love it! My bread just slips out every time. No stick whatsoever!

Expensive but health and wonderful.

Nice pan. Very attractive. Easy to clean but smaller than I expected.

I LOVE Caraway cookware! Use this pan for banana bread, sour dough , meatloaf, etc. nothing sticks, which makes clean up a breeze.
