what size is my bread tin

sandy2_2

Being new to bread making, how do I tell what size loaf will fit in my bread tin eg 1lb or 1.5kg etc.
One or tins is 8cm x 29cm x 7cm deep, the other is 9cm x 20cm x 8cm deep. Neither is the same size as the bread pan in the breadmaker

The second one sounds about the same size as my 2lb loaf tin... I'll measure when I get home if no one has answered by then

Why don't they put sizes on the labels........

When I bought mine, it was labelled 900g - which is 2lbs. It measures (at the base) 19cms long x 9cms wide x 6cms deep - if that's any help .

Just recalculated mine using the measurements at the top of the tin 22cms long x 11cms wide x 6cms deep - that equals 1452 cu.cms.
Your second one (20 x 9 x 8 cms) equals 1440 cu.cms - so I guess they are about the same size.

Good luck
