OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro 1 Lb Loaf Pan

Great product. Bread, even sweet sticky loves, come out easily. Does not over brown sides and cleans up easily. I like it so much I bought a second one t speed up baking day.

In this review, I'll compare the KitchenAid and OXO loaf pans. I have yet to bake with either.The KitchenAid was around $13. The lip is much larger and extends maybe half an inch on the ends. It's an aluminum coated steel pan. I'm thinking the coating isn't the natural color, so some kind of coloring/paint was probably added to give it the silvery gray color. I'm just guessing there. The lip edges are rolled under for increased structural strength. This seems to be a common design. I feel like it could trap water. I noticed a couple notches cut into the rolled piece on the underside of the ends. I wonder if this is to help moisture air out. A side effect is these notches will catch soft sponges/cleaning materials which is a touch annoying.The OXO was around $21. I have a feeling this pan is noticeable smaller than most loaf pans in the 9x5 range. The difference between the KitchenAid and OXO is pretty obvious. The bottom of the OXO pan is ridged, which supposedly allows for more even baking. I'm a little concerned about all the extra edges when it comes to the coating's longevity, but the pan feels well made. Only time will tell how the ceramic coating does. The coating seems to have goldish beige coloring in the mix. The lip edges are also rolled under, but it's shaped into more of a square. I think I like the design of the lip edges better on the OXO. The only downside might be that it's harder to grab than the KitchenAid. I think it'll be fine with the lip giving something to catch onto when holding the sides of the pan.Both pans feel pretty solid. Washing each is easy, and water beads up on the nonstick surfaces. I'm expecting each surface to do pretty well in releasing food. The KitchenAid is definitely larger than the OXO. Had I received both in perfect condition, I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay the extra for the OXO. Maybe after some baking I'll find something I like.I wanted to put this review out before even getting to the baking because of how much of a pain it's been trying to get a pair of KitchenAid pans. I received 4 pans and only ended up keeping 1. The first pan had a scratch in the nonstick coating, so I returned it. The second pan had a small dent but no other noticeable defects. I kept that one. The third pan had a larger scratch in the coating. I returned it. The fourth pan was okay on the inside, but it came with a scuff on the outside, some kind of oily stain, and 4 dents. After Amazon's web app rejected another replacement order, I just returned it and gave up on KitchenAid. The first pan I ordered from OXO has a small scuff on the outside of the pan, but there are no other noticeable defects. So to be done with the quality control roulette game, I'm willing to pay the increased price for the OXO. Now that I've got one of each, I'll get to see how the designs affect baking and cleaning down the road.

Great size. Loafs cook evenly. Easy to clean. Would purchase it again.

These pans are a great value for the quality! They are heavy and well made, and the finish holds up well. I use them for bread every week!

I love OXO. I have had noting but great luck owning their products. I chose this pan because I needed one and because OXO made it. I usually use a glass loaf pan but there are certain recipes that specify NOT to use glass. That's where the OXO pan comes in. The fact that it is non-stick is a huge bonus.

Much smaller than a normal 9x5 - and stamped inside with true measurement.Otherwise, cute - nicely made pan but expected a full-size loaf pan. I use it for half recipes.

OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro 1 Lb. Loaf PanThere are many positive reviews about this pan when baking in a regular oven, but I do all my cooking, including baking bread, in an Air Fryer. That changes ever thing.Unlike a conventional oven, an air fryer heats from the top and circulated air from the top. Normally the circulated air is in direct contact with the food. When you put the food in a pan like this loaf pan, that modifies the environment so that the sides and bottom of the food are heated by conduction from the heated pan. That causes a condition where the top browns quickly and the sides and bottom brown slowly – a classic air fryer problem.This pan solves that problem because it is made of aluminized steel which has a better heat transfer rate than bare steel or any other normal baking pan material. This all means that this pan makes great bread in the air fryer. Five stars!

The pan is smooth all over with a rolled edge. The non-stick really works as my loaf fell out of the pan when I was checking the doneness of the bottom. I like the no fold ends, no place for "stuff" to get stuck and turn black. This seems to be the only loaf size OXO makes. That's a shame!
