how to buy cake pans
May 1st, 2006Rose Levy Beranbaum has some words of wisdom on her blog regarding the purchase of cake pans. Apparently, manufacturers of cake pans have been shrinking their products, so your 9 inch loaf pan may not actually be 9 inches long. Worse, its volume may be less than that of a traditional loaf pan. If your recipes produce too much batter for your pans, this could be the reason. Berenbaum recommends shopping for kitchen products with a tape measure. Excellent advice, and something I’d never have thought of.
