Where can i buy a proper loaf tin?

lindseykim13

I've got so many loaf tins that i've bought thinking they would be the right size for proper bread (obviously not checking the measurements properly!) now i'm looking again and wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction without breaking the bank! I'm after proper bakery size bread not the half sizes which i'm currently making as they get eaten up with my lot just having a taste test
While i'm here i'm also after some sort of device for slicing bread straight? (other than my dodgy knife skills:o)

Can't help with the bread tin, the biggest I've seen is a 2lb tin, but someone recommended this food slicer:

Apologies whoever it was for not remembering your name. I've tried quite a few slicers for bread, most of which ended up in the bin or jumble sale, but this one is brilliant. Don't know if it's still half price though.

Just seen this on amazon:

looks the size you want.

thanks for the find although i was hoping for something a little deeper that one is ony 6cms i can see bread spilling over the top :rotfl:
I have found a 1000g one on ebay but it's in the £15 region :eek:

I second the food slicer for home-made bread:T Just make sure the bread is cooled before you try to slice it.............

search on ebay for 'bread tin 800g' - not cheap, but the same as bakers use

Hi lindsey,

I would recommend the slicer that emiff suggested, but for other ideas this thread may help:

I bought a tin in Sainsburys a few weeks ago, it was £5. It's a 2lb loaf tin but miles bigger than my other ones that I've been using for years.
The bread baked in it is much better and I get a loaf which has proper sandwich sized slices. It seems to rise better too.

I'm just in mid bake so here's a pic of the two tins



I'll take another when it is out of the oven against something standard to show you the size cooked.
