Know before you buy
A Pullman pan is designed to produce square-shaped loaves with a tight crumb, often called 'sandwich bread.' The included sliding lid traps steam inside, which forces the dough to fill the corners of the pan and prevents the top from doming, resulting in a perfectly flat, uniform slice.
Thanks to the AMERICOAT ePlus silicone coating, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for oil. However, for sticky doughs or enriched recipes with high sugar content, a light dusting of flour or a thin layer of oil is still recommended to ensure a clean release.
Aluminized steel is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, especially when compared to standard carbon steel. To maintain the integrity of the pan and the non-stick coating, we recommend hand washing and drying it thoroughly rather than putting it through the dishwasher.
The folded construction provides extra structural rigidity, which prevents the pan from warping or twisting at high oven temperatures. This ensures your loaf maintains its precise shape throughout the entire baking process.
Yes, the AMERICOAT ePlus coating is specifically engineered for professional-grade baking environments. It is PFOA-free and designed to remain stable at standard bread-baking temperatures without releasing harmful chemicals.
