Durable Pans For Baking

Hey everyone,

Quick question...

My mom gave me a wonderful heavy-duty (nice) baking pan. I would like to have a variety of nice pans for baking and cooking. I'm wanting pans to bake donuts, frenchbread, English muffins, hotdog/hamburger buns: basically, I need the pans I can't find at Wal-mart.

I really would like not to get cheap pans. If I made a small investment in a new "expensive" pan every few months, before long I would have a collection of really durable bakeware.

Currently, I use whatever Wal-mart (or where-ever) has on sale. But it warps, stains, and doesn't bake evenly.

So, can I ask any of you "serious" bakers out there to share where you purchase you products?

Thanks in advance. -Julie :)

I like to shop at Linens and Things because they are moderately priced. I bought Farberware baking pans and sheets and I like them. They are much heavier in weight than cheap pans, but they are not really expensive. Linens and Things also have sales often. I got my bake ware buy one get one free! :D

Thanks Jenny! I will have to see if our closest mall has a Linens and Things. If not, maybe I can order on-line. Affordable is wonderful! I've been paying cheap prices, but also getting cheaply made products. I would love to find an affordable line of bakeware/pans that has a good, heavy quality and good variety of products. Thanks for your tip! B)

King Arthur Flour and Baking Co. is a good source.

I bought some really nice pans at The Home Store. Also saw them at TJ Maxx. There were two brands that looked exactly alike. One was Calphalon and I cant remember the name of the other one. They were 5.99, 7.99 and 9.99 for the largest cookie sheet sized one. They were grayish silver colored, very heavy and easy to clean. I went back and got a 9x9 one. I love them.

That's awesome...I hadn't even thought of TJ Maxx, Ross, or Marshall's (all those stores are similar and in my area). When we sell our house (and I have a little money), I'm going shopping!!!!!!! :D

I second the King Arthur Flour website for high quality pans for all kinds of bread shapes, but be warned they will put you on their mailing list and send you their catalog full of pictures of glutenous bread! It's like celiac porn. :lol:

I have one Calphalon pot and I love it! I bought one for me and one for my son's daycare provider when he first went gluten free. I don't remember how much I paid exactly, but I think it was $20+ for a little pot. Those pans are great, if you find them at a discount store buy all you can! (unless you live in Portland Oregon. :lol: )

I'm a big fan of Chicago Metallic for cake pans. It's heavy duty aluminum and they hold up really well.

Lee,

"Celiac porn"...you're killing me! :P HA! :lol:

Jenny,

$20+ for a little pot? For that much, I want a pot big enough to bathe in ;) or a 14k gold pot that I can weld into jewlry. :P

gluten-free mom,

I'm gonna google "Chicago Metallic." Thanks for the info.! B)

Blessings and baking,

-Julie

What about Stoneware? I only use Pampered Chef stoneware now since I am hooked. I have never had food bake so evenly before. I also like Paderno pans.

I do have a King Arthur deep dish stone pizza pan and I love it. There was recently an article in The Washington Post about a lady who found out that she had celiacs and the pizza recipe was so close to regular. Nothing liek any of the mixes or frozen ones I have tried.

      Are there any recipes or diet information on gluten free meals to cook..I'm not a very good cook so the simpler the better. PS. Do you feel rough/sickly 80% of the time with this disease. Thx

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed...

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.

      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?
