Chicago Metallic Commercial II Non-Stick Perforated Baguette Pan. Creates a crisp, golden-brown crust, 16 L x 9 W x 1.5 H

Good quality. Perfect size for baguettes. I used a little oil on the pan but I’m not sure I needed it. Baguettes came right off. They were evenly browned and crunchy all around.

Easy clean, non stick, just the right tool for baguettes and sub rolls

A tad expensive compared other brands. But it worked well for my first time baking bread!

Excellent baquette pan. Non stick, browns uniformly. 4 stars for being flattened during transit. Luckily was able to straighten. Was shipped in a plastic bag. Not a box. Went thru some rough handling. More than likely UPS was at fault.

I have used this quite a few times now, and it works great. Baguettes turn out great-baked on both sides, nice texture and minimal fuss. The Good Points: * It really is non-stick. I usually spray a real light coating of olive oil, and then let the dough rise right in this pan. Never had anything stick, and clean-up is usually as simple as a quick wipe with a soapy sponge. * Bread bakes very well in the perforated pan. While (at least in my oven) the topside tends to brown a little quicker than the bottom, the bread is always baked though. I usually just flip the loaf over for the last few minutes to even up the color. The Not So Good Points: * Not sure why I think this, but it seems like it should be a little heavier. This hasn't been a problem, and it is certainly well made enough to stand up to my use, just feels a little light. * If you let the dough raise in this pan, and maybe even if you don't, the bottom side of the loaf will pick up the texture of the pan. You will have lots of little bumps where the dough works its way into the perforations. I personally don't care, but it might annoy some of the more "artistic" bakers. * Could have been more finished. Not really sharp edges, but not really smooth either. More of an aesthetic issue-pretty hard to cut yourself with it. * It would have really made my day if it was about 8" longer. Overall-I am very happy with it, and expect to get quite a few years of service from it. Does a great job on baguettes, which is all that really matters.

For months, I've used a large cookie sheet to bake three small sourdough baguettes. The recipe I use yields a very soft dough, which doesn't hold it's shape very well during the rising/baking process, so the loaves tended to spread out, rather than up. I happened upon this pan on Amazon one day - the price was very reasonable and now I don't know how (or why) I ever baked the baguettes without it. The perforations allow air circulation for even browning and the size is perfect for three small baguettes. Once, I did try forming the dough into two larger ones, but they were a bit too large for the depressions of the pan. Even though the finish is non-stick, I line the baking surface with sheets of parchment paper, ensuring very easy bread removal and clean-up. Best of all, the sourdough baguettes are beautifully shaped and appear very professional. The pan is a medium-weight metal and holding up very well. But, I'll replace it when required - recommend highly for all french, italian and sourdough bread bakers...

The first one was bent on side and left bread panels round dent pop-up like a hammer hit it. Saw the damage while wrapping it as a Christmas gift and was past return date. I contacted the company who replied within 24 hours. They gave me the correct email address to reach the branch that did Amazon sales. [email protected] I forwarded my first email and got a response in less than 24 hours -- plus a replacement order #, expected shipping date to arrive before Christmas, and no return of the damaged product needed. We received the product in that window and an hour before packing unwrapping! Perfect timing. I've never had such excellent customer service from a company! The recipient totally loves the pan and is ready to start making baquettes -- perfect gift with perfect timing & of high quality.

Great value
