KitchenCraft 2lb Loaf Tin with Non Stick Finish, 21.5 x 11 x 6 cm

Product Information

A 2lb loaf tin is a standard size that is used in cooking. It’s the same as a 1kg loaf tin, which is equivalent to approximately 2 pounds. Just looking at the numbers will tell you that there is only a minimal difference between the two sizes. The truth of the matter is, this difference is significant enough when it comes to baking. If you put the same amount of batter into the two pans, you will end up with different results. The ⅔ Batter Rule As a rough guide, a 2lb (900g) loaf tin is about 21cm long, 11cm wide and 7cm high (8 x 4 x 3 inches approx) and a 1lb (450g) loaf tin is 16cm long, 11cm wide and 7cm high (6 x 4 x 3 inches). They do vary quite a bit from brand to brand but this should help you understand what you have got if you have one already. What can you use instead of a 2lb loaf tin? While your ingredients come to room temperature, preheat your oven to 170℃ (fan setting), 190℃, 375℉, or Gas Mark 5. Sieve Loaf pans can be made of different materials such as metal, glass, and aluminum, to name a few. Each material has its set of qualities that may affect the baking process and eventually, your baked product. Durability

First, take the dimensions of your loaf pan. Measure its length, width, and height by putting the measuring tape from edge to edge. Then fill the tin with water as close to the top as you can without spilling it and write the number in grams. Since 1g of water is the same as 1ml of water this number is the volume of your tin. You will need a 2lb loaf tin for this recipe (you can test the size of your loaf tin by seeing how much water the tin can hold, 2lb will hold about 2 pints/1100mls of water).

Use a Sheet Pan Rolls, boules (that’s a round loaf of bread), braided loaves and many soda breads are baked right on a sheet pan—no loaf pan required. If you want to bake bread on a cookie sheet, look for breads that retain their shape (you don’t want overly soft doughs here). Can I use a round cake tin instead of a loaf tin?

MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis explains how this crucial protection works, why it's more important than a will, and how to get one in the latest episode of ITV's The Martin Lewis Money Show Live. Those typical recipes that use 500g of flour are aimed towards making an 800 gram loaf which would sit in a 2lb tin. However I find 500g of flour is not quite enough to make two pounds of dough, so I use 550g of flour.

You should think carefully before using a different tin shape to the one specified in a recipe. Cakes that are cooked in round cake tins are usually intended to be light and fluffy, rather than dense and squidgy. Light and fluffy cakes like sponges contain equal amounts of sugar, fat, flour and eggs. This produces a dry crumb. Dense and squidgy cakes have a higher ratio of sugar, fat and liquid ingredients. This produces a moist crumb. If you cook a drier cake in a square cake tin, then it is danger of dying out at the corners by the time the centre is cooked. You can try to mitigate this by making the following adjustments: If you’re new to baking, you might not yet know how to choose the right pan size. Worry not as learning this skill is easy and with the help of this complete guide to loaf pan size, you will get better at it in no time. What is the standard size loaf pan? Generally a 1lb loaf tin might be advertised with (external) measurements of about: 6.5cm deep. 18-21cm long. 10-11cm wide. Can I use a cake tin instead of a loaf tin?Using a sharp knife, divide the prepared bread dough – enough for one loaf – into three equal pieces. Some recipes for baked bread require you to use yeast. Unlike batter, the dough is usually measured by weight and not by cups. Once you have your volume in milliliters, divide it by 4. That is how much your dough should weigh in grams. Let’s go to the basics. Bakers and baking enthusiasts have a loaf pan size which they consider the standard.

Aside from the loaf pan size, you also have to consider other qualities of a loaf pan before deciding on which one to use for your recipe. Material This gorgeous spicy and golden Gingerbread Loaf Cake is full of flavour! It's deliciously moist and light too. The great thing about loaf cakes is how easy they are to make, and this gingerbread loaf cake is no exception. You can enjoy it with some cream or custard poured on top, but it's great on it's own too. While I would eat this cake any time of year, it is a great recipe for a Christmas bake or even a festive gift as the cake will keep for several days and can be frozen too. Ingredient Tips & Equipment Information You will need a 2lb loaf tin for this recipe (you can test the size of your loaf tin by seeing how much water the tin can hold, 2lb will hold about 2 pints/1100mls of water). If you have a 1lb loaf tin, simply halve the ingredient amounts. How do you know when the loaf cake is cooked? A 2lb (900g) loaf tin is about 21cm long, 11cm wide, and 7cm high (8 x 4 x 3 inches) and a 1lb (450g) loaf tin measures approximately 16cm long, 11cm wide, and 7cm high (8 x 4 x 3 inches) (6 x 4 x 3 inches). Lining the base of your tin with baking paper is particularly helpful if the cake has a wide base and shallow sides, such as a layer cake. Applying a thin layer of grease to the tin before fitting the paper will help it to adhere to the sides so your mixture can be added without disturbing the paper. How big is a 2Lb loaf tin?The standard advice is to fill cake tins between half to two-thirds full with raw batter. Half-filled is best for light and fluffy cakes like Victoria sponge, as these will rise a lot in the oven. Two-thirds is best for denser cakes like banana cake, as these will not rise so much. Denser cakes are generally those that do not use the creaming method to blend granulated sugar into butter. For example, the methodology for making Jamaican ginger cake involves melting the sugar and butter in a pan. Most gluten-free cakes are naturally dense, and so cake tins should be filled two-thirds full if you are baking without wheat flour.
