Someone was asking yesterday about what kind of loaf pan I use to bake my Stir-and-Pour Sandwich Bread. I went online to find something similar, but instead I found this.

I mean, I also found what I have. But what I have. And it’s just plain ol’ stoneware. 

Also? It comes in red. Cranberry to be specific. That sounds even prettier than red. Bread would taste so good coming out of these! Obviously, the taste of the bread is directly related to the pan it comes out of. Obviously.

It is true though that just like cast iron makes food taste better, my experience is that bread baked in stoneware tastes better. Much better.

What I don’t know is this:

Is glazed stoneware safe and good and healthy?

What do you all know about glazed stoneware? I have not researched this. I was just drawn in by the prettiness of the bread pans. I love that they are stoneware. I love that clean-up on these looks very easy. I love the price. I love the colors. And I’m just a little bit obsessed with Stir-and-Pour Sandwich Bread.

Reading through some of the information listed along with the pans, it says that these are lead-free. I like that. Come to think of it, I do have some glazed stoneware like this. Here’s the bread pan version:

I’m liking the price on this one even better. ($14.99!)

I guess I didn’t question the safety of these dishes since the inside looks more earthy. (I have the pie pan and the 9×13 casserole dish and love them.)

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Have any pans like these? Do you know anything about the safety of glazed stoneware?
