Are the pan sides straight (making square sandwich bread) or are they angled out slightly like most other loaf pans? Thank you!

Hi, They are slightly angled but I do use them for Sandwich bread and they work fine.

They are slightly angled. If you look very closely at the photo you can see how much by the lines in the pan (compare bottom lines to side lines). Though they may not be what you are looking for for this use, I LOVE these pans and have them in several shapes and sizes! They are WONDERFULLY made and heavy!

They are angled out slightly. Love them though. I have found on all of this brand that I decrease my temperature a bit.

If you want bread that is square or for brioche, use their Pullman loaf pan.

Yes it is very slightly rectangular shaped. Not a really long loaf but definitely rectangular.

Yes, but they are not overly defined and don't look terrible on most finished products. I'd call it a minute drawback for one of the best loaf pans I've ever used.

They are straight up and down. When baking, I never grease the sides. My cakes turn out perfect every time. I really like these because they have straight sides and layered cakes look great.

You can put the lid on if you want your bread flat on the top, so you will have a perfectly (almost) square loaf of bread. It does come all the way apart from the pan, just slides right off.

I do not have the round pan. I have the meatloaf or loaf pan and the sides are smooth and the bottom has ridges. I have the bundt pan which is smooth and the muffin pan which is smooth.

Mine were straight, but they came in computer cable packaging so I sent them back. Maybe the curved ones are actually food safe.

Yes the sides are straight and the corners square. Very good for layer cakes. I have several sizes and love these pans.

They are slightly tapered. They nest inside of each other. You have to buy Wilton's decorator preferred pans to get pans that are 100% straight. I have a review posted. If you cannot find the decorator preferred pans, buy the Parrish Magic Line (sometimes just listed as Magic Line). They are completely straight sided for cake decorating. If you watch sometimes they are a better price than the Wilton. Their prices also fluctuate alot.

the pan is rather square. if you make a small bread it will be horizontal. if you make a large bread (1.5 to 3 pounds) it will be more square or vertical.

It's probably bad for the pan to do just the one side...I recommend you do the two loaves, then tuck one into plastic bag and freeze for later use. (I use the Bo Friberg baguette recipe, which makes 3 in the small size batch, and I freeze a raw loaf to rise and bake later, plus often freeze a baked loaf for use a few days later...HTH

No I would call it horizontal as others have said. They are right on. Actually makes a nice sized loaf for the two of us. Just right. Becky

Mine is oval with no flat side, really. They work great! So glad I got them, sick of the ladder! There is barely a gap, maybe an inch or two.

I, too, would like to know the diameter of the base of the pan, the sides look slanted in the picture? Hoping for 8" to bake no-knead bread inside...Can anyone help? Thank you!

Straight. The baked good will be perfectly cylindrical. I recommend baking on top of a cookie sheet

The caps are flat. I take out all the oven racks except for one on the very bottom, and then stand it upright. My sister makes them on their side, but for some reason I can't get the bread to cook evenly on its side. That doesn't really make sense, although I have a convection oven, and maybe that is why I have to cook these standing upright.
