Product Information

If you are looking at buying a loaf pan, then you should consider how durable that loaf pan is before investing.

While recipes vary from one baker to another, some believe in the 4:1 ratio. Some recipe writers will spell out the units of measure in their recipe, as inches and centimetres, for example, while others may abbreviate them to in and cm.

Units of lengths If your recipe calls for a 8½x4½-inch pan and you use a 9×5, your bread could fall flat instead of properly rising. On the other hand, if your recipe calls for a 9×5 and you use a 8½x4½, your batter may overflow and burn in the oven!

The most common height among loaf pans is 2 ½ inches while length and width may vary from 7 to 13 inches or even more. If you'd prefer deeper pans, these pans add extra volume and a taller loaf. Using these tins will mean that you get a straighter loaf with a small dome at the top, rather than the mushroom top.

The original author of this piece, Bernadette Machard de Gramont, specializes in global food and wine content. She interviewed two culinary experts for this piece and grew up baking banana bread in Pyrex loaf pans. She has personally used the Wilton loaf pans (large and mini) and also loves her Le Creuset Heritage Loaf Pan for making quatre quarts. A sugary cake batter may overbrown on the outside by the time the inside tests done if you bake it in a loaf pan. Likewise, banana bread baked in a cake pan will likely be drier than bread baked in a loaf, which is more dense and bakes up with less surface area exposed. Over the years, we've sent top-rated loaf pans into the home kitchens of our experienced product testers. Since different materials yield different loaf results, we make certain to test a wide variety to accurately assess what will work best for you. We also allowed for unique versions of loaf pans, like our meatloaf option. As with many of our recommendations, our testing is ongoing.

Editor’s tip: Bake in a similar-shaped pan—just a different size—to get the best results. You’ve got this! Performance: For each pan, we tend to bake recipes that work well for its size and shape. This means they may bake anything from banana bread to meatloaf. We assess how well every loaf baked to accurately measure the pan's performance.
