Know before you buy
The sliding lid traps steam and prevents the dough from rising over the top, which results in the classic, perfectly squared 'Pullman' loaf shape and a denser, more uniform crumb structure.
Yes, seasoning is essential for this aluminized steel pan. It creates a natural non-stick surface that prevents your bread from sticking and helps develop a better crust over time.
Absolutely. You can remove the lid to bake standard quickbreads, pound cakes, or any recipe where you want straight, professional-looking edges.
The aluminized steel construction can corrode or develop rust spots if exposed to the harsh detergents and prolonged moisture of a dishwasher. Hand washing and thorough drying are required to maintain the pan's integrity.
The pan measures 11 7/8 inches long by 4 inches wide and 4 inches high. It is designed to produce a standard, rectangular sandwich loaf that fits perfectly in a toaster.
