This heavy-duty 2lb loaf tin is built for serious home bakers who want consistent, reliable results. The carbon steel body distributes heat evenly across the base and sides for a well-risen, evenly baked loaf every time, while the PFOA-free and PTFE-free non-stick coating ensures clean food release and easy cleaning after baking.
Ideal for home bakers who make bread, cakes, or loaves regularly and want a durable, non-toxic tin that won't warp or lose its coating after a few uses. The silicone handle makes it particularly practical for solo bakers who need a secure, heat-safe grip when removing a heavy loaf from the oven.
What is a 2lb loaf tin in cm? A standard 2lb loaf tin measures approximately 24 x 13 x 6cm (length x width x depth). This is the most common size called for in UK bread and cake recipes.
Do I need to grease a non-stick loaf tin? Even with a non-stick coating, lightly greasing or lining with baking parchment is recommended, especially for enriched doughs or sticky batters, to ensure a clean release every time.
Is PFOA and PTFE free non-stick as effective as standard non-stick? Yes. Modern PFOA and PTFE-free coatings offer comparable non-stick performance without the associated health concerns of traditional coatings at high temperatures.
Can I put this loaf tin in the dishwasher? Hand washing in warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the non-stick coating. Dishwasher use may reduce the lifespan of the coating over time.
What can I bake in a 2lb loaf tin? White and wholemeal bread, sourdough, banana bread, fruit cake, lemon drizzle loaf, meat loaf, terrines, and pâtés all work well in a standard 2lb loaf tin.
