What we liked

  • + Cast iron walls brown the sides and base more deeply than thin aluminum pans
  • + Pre-seasoned Lodge finish lets you bake right away with a light coat of oil
  • + Rugged pan lasts for decades with basic cast iron care

Trade-offs

  • - No lid, so it cannot make square-sided Pullman loaves
  • - Heavier and slower to heat than steel loaf pans of a similar size
