KitchenAid Reviews

Unfortunately, this 6 loaf pan did not bake the way I thought it would. I expected it to release the bread from the pans easily as the directions state. I let the bread cool completely as it said in the directions. Then I flipped the whole silicone tray over and pushed on the individual compartments from the bottom, following directions specifically. The bread fell out in chunks, leaving globs of cooked bread in the compartments. I would not recommend this loaf pan, but instead I will buy a cast iron or metal 4 or 6 loaf pan. They are hard to find.

If you like to bake this is a nice product to have in your arsenal of tools. I bake whole grain muffins and breads every week and find this pan to be extremely useful.

The breads that I have made released easily after they had cooled. I find it best to place this pan on a cooling rack for about an hour before removing the bread from the pans. If you do this it releases completely. If the bread is still warm when you try to remove it, it might not come out in one piece.

I have found that it is best to put this pan on a half sheet pan prior to filling it with dough or batter. If you try to carry it to the oven without a pan underneath it, it is not very steady.

If you don't have other silicone bakeware you are unfamiliar with the nicest feature of this product. You can squish it up in a ball to store it, and bounces back to its original shape when you need it.

My only complaint about this pan is that the bread does not brown as well on the bottom as sides as it does in a metal pan. But, being able to make 6 medium sized loaves at one time more than makes up for decrease in browning.

This product works very well. The bread cooked evenly and didn't dry out. The only drawback is that you have to use a baking sheet to support the silicone pan.
