Lodge Mfg BW8LP Cast Iron Loaf Pan 8.5x4.5 in

Product Description

The LODGE MFG BW8LP is a seasoned cast iron loaf pan designed for baking bread, meatloaf, pound cake, and similar oven-based applications. Cast iron construction provides even heat distribution and excellent heat retention, reducing hot spots that can cause uneven browning. The pan arrives pre-seasoned, meaning it is ready to use out of the box without requiring an initial seasoning cycle. At 11.69 pounds, the BW8LP has the substantial mass typical of full-weight cast iron cookware. It measures 8.5 x 4.5 inches in the baking cavity, matching standard loaf pan dimensions used in most residential and commercial kitchen applications.

The BW8LP is suited for residential kitchens, rental properties, restaurant prep kitchens, and any setting where a durable, long-service loaf pan is needed. Its pre-seasoned surface is compatible with standard oven temperatures and can transition from oven to table. The 8.5 x 4.5-inch footprint fits standard oven racks and is sized to accommodate most common loaf recipes. Package quantity is 3 units per package, making it a practical choice for operators outfitting multiple stations or stocking a commissary.

Installation Notes

Cast iron cookware requires no installation but does require proper handling during use and storage. Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when handling — cast iron retains heat long after removal from the oven. Avoid sudden temperature changes such as placing a hot pan in cold water, as thermal shock can crack cast iron. Dry the pan thoroughly after washing and apply a light coat of cooking oil before storage to maintain the seasoned surface.
