Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron Loaf Pan - Pre-Seasoned Rectangular Cast Iron Bakeware- Even Browning Bread Pan with Easy-Release Finish - PFAS-Free Non-Toxic Cookware - 8.5 Inches

I recently got this loaf pan and it’s quickly become my go-to for baking bread, meatloaf, and even some sweet loaf cakes. This pan is heavy-duty and pre-seasoned, so it heats evenly and gives that nice crust you want on homemade loaves, and I haven't been using it for that long, but it seems like it will hold up over time. The shape is great, and the dual handles make it easy to get in and out of the oven, considering how heavy it is. The only issue I've had is that cleaning in the corners can be a bit of a hassle—especially if you don’t use parchment or soak it right after baking. Even if you don't use parchment it has a non-stick layer so its easy to release the bread. Overall, it’s a cheap, but good quality version of a classic piece of cookware that’s great if you like homemade breads and want a durable, versatile pan.

I've only used it once but so far so good! When I got it I did wash/rinse it out. Then dried it, heated them to get moisture out, then used some avocado oil to season it a bit. They do come pre-seasoned but for sanitary reasons I'll always wash out a dish before using it. I wanted a softer crust so I used one on top of another and only let it brown for a few minutes. The bread popped right out! I do wish they'd create a lid for these, because it is bulky trying to put one on top of another but overall my family went crazy over the bread and it was very nonstick. My concern over time is obviously rusting but I overall like lodge products a lot in general. I love that they're made in the USA. They're high quality, easy to use if you know how to use cast iron, they bake well, eventually they'll be seasoned to my liking as well which makes everything taste even better! My only concern is how little verstile they are but I'm going to see how they do with banana bread! Oh, they are very heavy though.

These are the best for baking homemade loaf bread, as they heat evenly and the bread comes out perfect. Just turn it on the side and the loaf come right out. I highly recommend this also buy two for some recipes you will get enough dough for 2 loafs. Happy Baking.

First not all cast iron is the same , I have only found great results with Lodge brand , I have other items from lodge from a dutch oven , frying pans . even pots and a garlic roaster , etc to name a few I use just about every day . I was hesitant about preseason since I prefer to season them myself . But I have another item from lodge that was seasoned already & had no issues , I needed new loaf pans since my other ones are pryrex and they are old but still awesome but with that whole recall with older pryrex it gave me an excuse to buy the lodge loaf pans , I washed & dried in the oven than applied coconut oil than cooled & put away . My first thing I made in the pans was meat loaves with venison which is very lean hardly no fat with every cast iron I preheat the pans prior to placing my food in , so with that it takes 10 minutes for my oven to heat up so about halfway there I but the loaf pans in the oven empty & removed them and use a piece of paper towel with a dab of coconut oil & oiled the whole inside than put my prepared meat loaf in them & baked until done , they were awesome , awesome crust on the sides & so moist . Easy clean up & did the coconut oil again after washing & drying in oven . I also made zucchini bread in them but they were a little too small for the bread so I used one of my pryex pans , and the zucchini bread was awesome, browned awesome & very moist . Now I'm planning on getting two of the bigger sizes .

Perfect for melting lead into 35# ingots. Over 2000 lbs no issues.

Can’t go wrong with cast iron or Lodge. Fairly small, which is what I wanted, and bakes a lovely loaf of bread.

It's a nice pan , cleaning is fairly easy, non stick as long as you use parchment paper

People complaining about these things rusting cracks me up. It's IRON! If it gets water on it, it will rust. Clean it with an oil, preferably a high smoke point oil while the pan is hot. When you bake bread, don't let it sit in there - it will release steam. This looks a little smaller than I expected but it will do. Decent price. It's well made and seasoned. I will season it myself as well though. I season by wiping it down with avocado oil and heating it up in the oven for a while.

Just season the pan properly and it works like a charm..no sticking and much better than aluminium pan..

Great quality, this loaf tin is a great, versatile size.

Good quality

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE PANS!! I've been making bread for years now, and struggled to find the right pans. I tried glass, I got them wet and they shattered. I tried metal, and they just don't last. These cast iron bread pans from lodge though, are seriously the key to that golden crispy crust I love on my homemade bread! Positively LOVE them, and will probably continue adding Lodge into my life! Simply butter and go! Comes out everytime, easy to wash, and handles my banana bread easily also! I'd give these 10 stars if I could.

After first wash it became rusty Cannot be used anymore I do not recommend this article
