Has anyone used this for storing baked bread? Specifically from a 9x5 pan, after cutting a slice or two off.

No. Sorry to see the huge price increase - nearly double of what I paid 3 ½ months ago! I don't think I'd want to spend that amount.

Pretty sure it will bake bread and an 9 x 13 will fit IF it does not have handles sticking out on the ends. The disposable ones work also.

Personally I would store wrapped breads in any bread box. Seems to help keep them fresh for a longer period of time.

I did not try it with my bread machine ! I just followed the box instructions which were easy - it turned out nice every time! After it cooled I sliced the entire loaf with an electric knife and then froze two slices each in sandwich bags for easy removal and thawing! Good Luck! &#128522;

I have a bread slicing guide I use with a serrated bread knife. I've also noted that the loaves slice more easily when they have been stored a few hours in a plastic bag after it has cooled. It seems to soften the top crust a little so the knife won't just make it crumble. I also use the "soft" setting even if the recipe calls for regular or firm. The loaves seem to cut better and hold together better.

I love the cake pan and I'm quite an accomplished baker - but I don't like cakes you can't really cut without disastrous results! So my answer is simple - make 2 use both if you need them or throw one in the freezer. Remember not to fill it more than 1/2 way full. I use it every Thanksgiving for corn bread!

i put my bread (pita, english muffin, bagel, plain, fench) on a bare shelf in the center. i use the convection setting, high heat. it works for me. i do not have a toaster, yet!

If you place the bread slicer on top of a damp towel it will stay put on the counter. I find that this works well for cutting boards, as well. I am short in stature. I place the bread slicing guide on a table that is considerably lower height than my counters. Makes it much easier to slice loaves that are taller than the slots. To keep the loaf in place within the slicer, you might put a piece of cardboard in the slot behind the heel of the loaf.

That all depends upon your recipe. This is a proofing basket, and it does a good job of it. Once you go from this to the oven, though, it has nothing to do with the basket. If you are still looking for recipes, you can try Tartine bread. It has some good ones. If you find that the crust is too crunchy, just put the bread in a gallon size ziplock bag, or wrap it in saran wrap, after it's cooled a bit and the moisture from the bread will soften the crust.

I can fit a 2 lb loaf in it. A bit of end does hang over but not enough to cause the loaf to fall apart. Im may depend on the machine pan or loaf pan size as well. My loaf isnt long.I love my slicing guide. Best investment besides the bread machine :)

If my former answer wedding address the question, I'd suggest using two smaller pans and stacking them with one of the elevated racks included with the product. Those racks are also great for proofing bread.

I would think you could bake bread in this. You would just take out one set of racks. Definitely a 13x9 pan will fit in it. You need to know, though, that you can't set or regulate the temperature on this like a regular oven--it's more like a gas grill, where you have a temperature gauge, but can't just set it at 350. I cooked a 6 pound chicken in this and it came out great--but at one point the oven was over 450, and I never normally cook chicken at that high a temperature. I played with the temperature setting several times to try to figure out just how high you should set it to get it around 350. I haven't 100% figured it out yet, but have only used the actual oven 4 times. The burners on top are FANTASTIC compared to something like a Coleman stovetop. I totally recommend this product.

Since I don't live in a dry climate like Arizona I can't really answer your question. I can tell you it is not air-tight. We use it primarily to keep the counter top from looking uncluttered, plus the stainless steel finish matches our decor. We are able to keep our bread for weeks but I'm sure that's due in large part to sealing the bread up tight in it's original packaging. If you are looking for something air-tight, you should look at something like Tupperware or similar. Hope this helps...

I bake bread regularly, so I do go through it, but I have had it sit for a few months with no ill effects. I had a bag that said 2015 as a best used by date. You could always put it in the freezer or an airtight container.

What is the recipe making? If it's a "wet" batter bread, such as a banana bread, I'd definitely go for a bigger pan, 9x5. Besides a realistic possibility of batter overflowing, it could end up being too dense since not enough room to expand. BUT If making a yeast bread this would work. I use both sizes for my yeast bread, this pan gives you a beautiful looking loaf because it will crown higher.

No need to freeze. Store it in a dry cool place. I keep mine in the same cabinet as the pots and pans. There are 2 adults in my household and we bake one loaf of bread every week.

I slice the loaf and then freeze half of it. The other half goes into a relatively air-tight plastic or glass container on the counter since it will be used within a few days. Hope this helps!
