Product Review: President’s Choice Baker’s Gift Loaf Pans

November 19, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

PC Baker's Gift Loaf Pan

President’s Choice has been playing Santa with me! I have these amazing presents to open. Yesterday I discovered something completely new to me: silicone-coated paper re-usable loaf pans. I never!

PC Baker's Gift Loaf Pan

You know how you bake a banana bread as a gift for someone and then you realize you have no plate that it will fit onto so you end up wrapping it in tin foil? Well now you do not have to! You can bake it in one of these pans and you even get pretty red ribbon to make it look so festive. The packaging says you get 6 pans for $9.99.

I love this idea but I have to admit something to you. I do not like baking with silicone. I never have. It feels unnatural to me. I am very health conscious with the vessels I cook with and normally would not have used this type of product.

Also, because of the use of silicone, I have no idea if these containers compostable. After just one baking, the exterior of mine has oil stains on it that can not be washed off so where do these end up going when you are doing with them? I wish I could provide a link, but I could not find this product on the President’s Choice site and I also could not find them in the stores yet.

Unfortunately, I totally forgot about this label on the box! I was supposed to make a recipe from their site but I am working on a cookbook review of Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens and so I used the loaf pan to do some recipe testing from the book:

Not to worry, I will be sharing this recipe for Carrot Bread soon!

The pan held up well to the baking and sure enough, you can wash the inside and re-use it. It is smaller than my typical Baker’s Secret loaf pan so be wary of how much batter you put inside it. You might want to hold back on some of the batter to avoid spillage.

I was surprised how well the loaf pan held up, it is quite strong but over time did bend out a little, warping the shape of the loaf. Although when you wrap that pretty red ribbon around it, it is going to look cute as a button!

This is not the kind of product I personally would purchase because of the silicone and the potential environmental dilemma but for the busy holiday baker, this is absolutely fantastic! I can see these being a very popular item and I sense many wonderful Christmas banana breads will be given as gifts in these vessels. I give this product, four out of five wooden spoons.

    Very cool idea, PC thinks of everything! I know what you mean about the silicone thing though, I’ve yet to try it, it just doesn’t seem natural to pour batter into something rubbery like. I like to use either metal or glass for my baking. But these are definitely perfect for foodie gifts, no need to wait for your dish to be returned and much prettier presentation than wrapping a loaf in cling wrap or foil.

    Very neat idea! But I am with you on the silicone, I haven’t used it to cook in either, I have to wonder about what leeches into the food? I like trying to pick up glass loaf pans at the thrift store or garage sales to gift in.

    I think for one loaf as a gift, you’re OK with the silicone and the presentation is gorgeous! Oh that’s a neat idea Tournesol, I like that too. I rarely come across them anywhere but my grocery store so this is very affordable for me.
