Camp Chef Home Seasoned Cast Iron Bread Pan Review

Customer Ratings:

I have several pieces of cast iron cookware, mostly Lodge brand. But since Lodge doesn't make their loaf pans anymore, I went with this brand. I love cooking with cast iron because it distributes heat evenly and will last you a lifetime with proper care & seasoning. I thought I was making good banana bread in my regular teflon pans until I started using this new cast iron loaf pan. WOW, now my banana bread isn't just good, it's wonderful! Cooked evenly, moist inside with a nice brown outer crust. Just like banana bread should be. For the price it's a steal, because you will have this pan forever. Whereas teflon pans scratch and wear out over time. The only downfall some people have with cast iron is the heavy weight, but I don't have a problem with it. Not only am I cooking, im getting an arm workout at the same time!

I own a LOT of cast iron..in fact, I probably own most of what Lodge has put out including everything from the cast iron hibachi grill to wok, pans, kettles and much (much) more. I LOVE the durability, ease and convenience of cooking and baking with cast iron.

Recently I needed some additional bread pans and since cannot find Lodge brand any longer I purchased 2 from Sante Cabin and 2 from Old Mountain. Old Mountain arrived quickly, well wrapped/packaged and completely treated. Washed and used to encounter bread that dropped effortlessly from the pan without need for barely any prompting. After a few more uses the finish was even better...perfect.

The Sante Cabin cast iron arrived a few days later, washed to prepare for use and pan immediately began to rust. Description indicates "true seasoned" and "ready to use right out of the box" but also denotes "non-seasoned". This pan is NON_SEASONED despite a superficial appearance to the contrary. While seasoning is not a big deal for those experienced with it (and some may prefer their own seasoning to factory treated seasoniing), it is worth mentioning for those that are searching for a TRUE pre-seasoned loaf/bread pan. If so, go with the Old Mountain bread pan instead. There is a shape difference Old Mountain has a rather odd angled shape whereas Sante Cabin provides a more traditional "bread loaf" shape.

Best Deals for Camp Chef Home Seasoned Cast Iron Bread Pan

I make my own bread for my family and have used many bread pans but this one is the best. I only have one of the cast iron bread pans so when I make more than one loaf I still have to use my old pans. I have both aluminum -which is terrible and a stainless steel. The loaf in the cast iron has a much higher more even rise. I don't know the physics behind this but I am going to be getting another of these pans. It also has a really nice solid feel and is very easy to clean. Just slather it up with oil (I use extra virgin coconut oil since it has so much saturated fat and doesn't easily go rancid it seasons the pan really well) before I put the bread in and it comes out clean with no mess. If you are looking to invest in a great bread pan that will last a long time, this is the one for you. I am seriously considering a cast iron muffin pan now since this one has been so great.

Honest reviews on Camp Chef Home Seasoned Cast Iron Bread Pan

I asked for some of these pans for Mother's Day and received them. I love them. They really do bake evenly. The bread I have made has turned out wonderfully. On the box they have the Camp Chef label. I also noticed the Sante Cookware company is located in Utah, where I also reside. The phone number is on the literature that is included. I had a few questions and called them. They said that they and Camp Chef are owned by the same parent company. I asked them about the issue that has been raised in a few reviews about their being made in China and the possibility of containing lead. They said that there is strict monitoring of the factory in China and that they constantly test. They affirmed that there is no lead in their products. They ARE pans to enyoy!

Thin walls. One side was pushed in, probably during the casting process. The "pre seasoning" was a top layer of something other then oils with the actual gray iron showing through here and there. Since it came from China and the "seasoning" was suspect it was washed off and seasoned again with known oils.

Items mfg offshore should be so noted in the product descriptions.
