Perfect tins for my bread..

Profile picture for user macette

I have found perfect tins for my sandwich loaf. First I found one in a charity shop, then searched high and low for another one....found!!! On eBay and Amazon...never realised how much the perfect tin matters but it does...these tins are perfect for 450-500g flour they are 900g-2lb loaf...great non stick great rise in the loaf...so happy if your new to baking UK side of the pond can highly recommend...

I have been looking for bread tins similiar to the one  you have just bought What brand are they I live in the UK 

Thanks for your help May you  have plenty of great loaves in the tins !!???

Happy Baking

Maybe because the 2¾" tall pan gives us that flared shape that tops out at ~4+" tall. Perfect size, like a Pullman loaf, to fit bologna and toasters. Or, maybe we make bologna and toasters to fit our commonly sized loaves.

Yes, most loaf tins are not tall enough. I think that most of the companies that make loaf tins (and bannetons) are totally out of touch with what is actually required to make a decent sized and shaped loaf. Also the variation in size of the so called 2lb loaf tin is surprising.

I recently managed to pick up a nice tall (4") 2lb loaf off Ebay UK, made by a company called Eurotins. It is part number LT02A, EAN 5060315533056 and can also be found on Amazon UK.

Brand name Chicago. it measures 100 mm high x 90 mm wide x 250 mm long on top edge (220. mm  bottom length).  I thought it was an american brand but I’ve had it a while so not sure. just looked it up - chicagometallicbakeware.com and it looks like it is still available.

I think I might have found some on Amazon.co.uk - 41/2' deep and only $27 for 2 including shipping from the UK - unless they've made a mistake....
