Love these little Mini Bread Bakers
1. These things are adorable
2. They seem quite durable, as long as you don't bang them around too much. I bought two sets at different times and neither set had any chips so the packaging for shipping was appropriate.
3. They do seem to make things more moist when you soak them prior to using. I'm not sure you want this for ALL breads, but for pumpkin/banana that sort of thing it's awesome. I think you could not soak if you don't want the moisture.
4. I haven't used them really often as I only bake for other people, not myself, but these are what I use now for any kind of recipe that I need a loaf pan for.
5. I think they would be really cute to serve bread in at family parties.
Quick review of instructions in case you've lost yours:
Soak for 15 minutes in water prior to using. Start pans off in a COLD oven to gradually bring them to temp.*
*The first time I used these I forgot to do this and they didn't shatter, but it's probably...
Very Pleased
I bought these to make small loaves of homemade bread as we just don't finish a larger loaf before it goes stale. I was surprised that the inside of the pans were glazed - by the description, these are porous pots for "breathing" and you also soak them first for moisture. Turns out the glaze is crackled and so it appears that "breathing" is not an issue. They explain the glazing is to allow for ease in food removal. I still grease it. I completely forgot that you're supposed to put them in a cold oven first - the oven warms up gradually enough that the pots won't crack (different instructions for gas oven), and I put them in a preheated 375 degree oven to cook meatloaf. Thankfully there was no harm done. I've baked bread and meatloaf in these - and I use one as a lid to really get that "brick oven" authenticity. Delicious! And moist! I remove the lid for the last 10 minutes or so to darken the top of the bread/meat.
Just as pictured
they are cute but i could tell any diff. from reguar dishes - then again all my dishes are nice. the price is fair and they are still in great shape 6mnths later. (no chips!) im not real cautious with dishes either. they soak clean super fast too. =)
