Loaf Tin : Non-Stick : 1lb (450g)

Product Information

You might wonder how much dough you need for your loaf pan size. While recipes vary from one baker to another, some believe in the 4:1 ratio. How do you know what size, shape and material to choose for your loaf pans? Should baking times be adjusted when you’re using different materials? Tala https://www.talacooking.com/catalogue/kitchen/bakeware/tala_performance_1lb_loaf_tin.htm only appear to do a 1lb tin, which is disappointing. Invicta http://www.invictabakeware.co.uk/bread-tins-3/invicta-bakeware-ltd-bread-793.htm appear to do a range of what they call 800g pans. Volume: When you calculate the volume, you’ll typically have a loaf tin with a volume of approximately 1400 cm externally – but those measurements include the sides and the lip edges. A 1lb loaf tin will hold approximately 600ml of liquid to the top, so to test the size of your existing pans fill one with water and then pour that into a measuring jug: Different materials have different heat conduction. Loaf pans made of metal have good heat conduction so you will notice they heat faster compared to glass pans.

Just looking at the numbers will tell you that there is only a minimal difference between the two sizes. The truth of the matter is, this difference is significant enough when it comes to baking. If you put the same amount of batter into the two pans, you will end up with different results. The ⅔ Batter RuleThose typical recipes that use 500g of flour are aimed towards making an 800 gram loaf which would sit in a 2lb tin. However I find 500g of flour is not quite enough to make two pounds of dough, so I use 550g of flour.

While this size difference might seem insignificant, it does result in a 15% difference in capacity. When it comes to baking, that can have a big impact! Choosing the Right Size The volume of batter each loaf pan can hold also differs. For example, the standard loaf pan is said to accommodate around 5 cups. There are bigger pans that can even accommodate up to 12 cups. Aside from the loaf pan size, you also have to consider other qualities of a loaf pan before deciding on which one to use for your recipe. Material

On that note, if you’re only filling a few of the muffin spots, use some water in the remaining openings to prevent warping.
