Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been baking bread for over 30 years. Purchased 2 of these pullman pans 6 months ago and have used them weekly. The heavy duty pans are excellent & release the loaf perfectly. I was weary based on some reviews regarding rust/scratching but have not had that problem. I use a recipe from 1906 (search pullman loaf/Chicago Tribune for a 9” pan), that turns out well every time. The lids fit well enough (shouldn’t be very tight) and even leave the logo indented into the top of the loaf! I treat the pans & lids like I treat my century old cast iron - with care & consistent maintenance. The pans & lids are well oiled before baking and, after releasing the loaf (while hot) I wipe down the pans & lids with a damp cloth - re-oil, then place back in the hot oven turned off to cool. These little extra steps make all the difference in the performance.
