USA PanBakeware Nonstick Cocktail Sandwich Loaf Pan

I bought this because I am on a diet and I want bake skinny bread loaves so I can make sandwiches with less bread. I can buy skinny french loaves of bread at the supermarket, but they have really thick crusts that wear out my jaw and mouth to eat.The pan is super heavy... heavier then any baking pan I have. The metal is very thick. The non stick coating seems very thick robust. I cooked my first loaf of bread with it and it fell right out of the pan.It's the right size to cook a single loaf serving of frozen bread dough that I got from the supermarket. I let it defrost overnight in the pan. I stretched out the dough to fit the pan and then I let it rise for a couple of hours. The results were excellent. I am satisfied that I spent the extra money to buy this high quality pan.

I purchased this loaf pan with the intent of using it for tea sandwiches, and it did not disappoint! USA Pans are consistently excellent quality, and this is true of their cocktail loaf pan. The pan released well. I opted for hand-washing the pan and found it very easy to clean. For stability reasons because the loaf pan is so narrow, you will want to place it the oven horizontally in the oven so the pan is perpendicular to the slats on the oven rack.I’ve noticed some people asking about which recipes work in this pan. A 13x4x4 inch Pullman loaf = 208 cubic inches; the cocktail loaf pan is 13.75x2.75x2.75 = 104 cubic inches or exactly half that of the Pullman loaf. Recipes which fit a standard 13” Pullman loaf pan should be able to be halved to fit this pan. I chose to bake my favorite King Arthur Baking bread recipe, Pain de Mie. This recipe makes a 13x4x4 inch loaf; I simply halved each of the ingredients to fit this pan. I reduced the 1st rise time from 90 min to about an hour. For the 2nd rise, I started checking on it at about 20 minutes; ultimately the 2nd rise was about 30 min instead of 45-60. I kept the oven temp the same as written, 350F. In terms of baking time, the loaf reached an internal temp of 190F on an instant read thermometer at ~20 minutes. As climates and oven temps both vary, you’ll want to keep an eye on both the rise times and the baking times.

I purchased 2 of these pans to make homemade cocktail Rye Bread for the holidays. Wanted to try them ahead of time with something other than the bread to see how much "stick" they would have. They are heavy duty and so well made. I made mini meatloafs in them and they slid out like butter from the pans! Placed them in the sink with a little water and not even any soap and all the sticky glaze simply melted away. They look like I had just taken them out of the packaging when I received them. This is bakeware that I will definitely pass down in the Family for generations of scrumptious recipes to be made. I just can't say enough good things about how happy I am with these pans! Buy these pans if you are looking for quality. I am NOT a paid influencer for this product, just a Mom & Grandmom who is delighted with this purchase. Definitely worth the money! Happy Baking!

If you make quick breads (banana, pumpkin, zucchini, etc.) and have trouble getting the centers completely baked in a standard loaf pan - THIS is the pan for you! The narrower size and heavy gauge metal assure even baking, and the slices are just the right size for assembling a cookie platter.

The jury is still out on this USA pan. I’m learning bread making and bought it to make a snack size loaf which this will do when I get my recipe perfected. USApans are great.

Yes, this is supposed to be a baking pan for bread. However, it is heavy duty, long, and narrow. That makes it perfect in a smoker, for humidity.I wrap this pan in aluminum foil for easy cleanup, set the pan in the smoker where the smoke and heat enter, then fill it with almost-boiling water. Cold water takes time to heat up, and robs heat from the meat. If you heat water in a kettle first, you'll have steam right away.It might seem like an odd use but it really is an essential tool for barbecue and smoking. It fits very nicely in the smoke chamber of my Oklahoma Joe Longhorn dual smoker grill.

Love this pan for mini loaves of bread. The pan is heavy and nicely shaped. Works well for recipes using 2-2 1/2 cups flour. The bread slices are just the right size for dessert/sweet breads, garlic, herb and savory party size breads. I've been making french loaf for spaghetti night, fresh bread is alway a big hit.

I really like these heavy-duty pans. They are solid and whatever the finish is, the bread comes right out.
