loaf pans

Bread-shaping vessels

Loaf pans are rectangular baking pans with tall sides, designed for bread and similar foods that rise during baking.

The shape produces the familiar sliced-bread loaf.

They're also used for meatloaf, pound cake, and quick breads like banana bread: I need to grease the loaf pan before adding the batter.
