USA Pan Pullman Loaf Pan 9 x 4 x 4 with Sliding Cover — Aluminized Steel, AMERICOAT Nonstick

The USA Pan Pullman Loaf Pan, 9 x 4 x 4 with sliding cover, bakes uniformly square loaves ideal for sandwiches, pain de mie, and Japanese milk bread. This heavy-duty Pullman loaf pan pairs a snug sliding lid with commercial-grade aluminized steel and USA Pan’s AMERICOAT Plus non-stick finish so home bakers can produce even, fine-grained loaves with a golden crust and tidy uniform slices. The 9 x 4 x 4 baking space fits recipes using roughly 3–4 cups of flour and the reinforced rim with a steel wire reduces warping for reliable results batch after batch.

How does the sliding cover affect loaf shape and texture?

The cover forces the dough to rise laterally instead of doming, producing a flat top and square sides that make consistent slices and uniform crumb. Using the lid encourages even heat contact and limits excessive crust expansion for breads like pain de mie or shokupan.

• Flat-top loaves for neat sandwich slices
• Uniform crust color across top and sides
• Improved crumb structure for fine-grained breads

What materials and coating make this pan durable and non-stick?

The pan is built from heavy-gauge aluminized steel for even heat distribution and long service life, while the AMERICOAT Plus silicone-based coating provides dependable release without sacrificing longevity. The rim includes an embedded steel wire that strengthens the pan and reduces the chance of warp during frequent use.

• Aluminized steel body for consistent baking temperatures
• AMERICOAT Plus non-stick for easy loaf removal and cleanup
• Steel-wire reinforced rim for added rigidity and warp resistance

How should I use and care for the Pullman pan and cover?

Slide the cover on before baking so the small cover indentation locks into place and prevents shifting. After cooling enough to handle, tap the curled cover edge to slide it off; hand washing in hot soapy water preserves the non-stick finish and performance. Avoid temperatures above the recommended 450°F for maximum coating life.

• Lock cover in place before baking to prevent movement
• Remove cover by tapping curled edge once cooled
• Hand wash only; max recommended temperature 450°F
