I'm trying to follow ChrisD's fruitcake recipe. Got everything but
the pans. I wanna try her recipe in loaf pans, as "tube pans" are damn pricey. You can get loaf pans in alum disposable for dirt cheap, so I'm looking fer info on loaf pans. What say thee, baking brethren? ![]() nb |

My recipe called for the cakes to be baked for a very long time at a low temp. so it was pretty hard to overbake them. Plus I have sort of a knack of knowing when food is done by the way that it smells. Still though, I would do my best attempt to determine when the cakes might be done and set the timer for 10 minutes before then just to make sure. And from there I would just check them often and pull them out when done. But one thing to keep in mind is that foil pans are thin. So put them on a cookie sheet and you may need to line your pans with parchment paper. I would probably use a double thickness for a foil pan. |

If he can't afford the pan then he certainly can't afford the fruitcake ingredients. WTF is so pricey about tube pans anyway, if you're not real fussy buy used, I see them at yard sales often for a buck or two... perfectly okay only somene used them once, maybe twice in twenty years. Used bakeware is common for cheap at thrift stores too. Even brand spankin' new they are nowhere near "damn pricey": http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...words=tube+pan |

I bought a Bundt pan once and it wasn't cheap! A bundt pan is not a tube pan. A tube pan is made out of sheet metal, usually uncoated. A bundt pan is a heavy cast pan, usually with a non-stick coating (and the cake usually sticks anyway). |

I realize you're in a tad rural area (as am I). But surely there's a big box store somewhere nearby that sells them at a reasonable price. The same should hold true for finding perfectly functional inexpensive loaf pans. Or you could look around online. You don't have to shop at Williams Sonoma to find them. ![]() Jill |

I never shopped for a tube pan so don't know how much they cost. |

Yet, I can buy 4 tossable bread pans for about $2. My $$$$ spending days are over and the ingredients cost a lot. Dried sour cherries were $20 lb! nb |

You're obiously a net shopping newbie... when searching on the net for "tube pan" ALL pans with a tube will come up including anything remotely related (perhaps an inner tube, tube socks, even books about tubing), you were obviously never in retail or you'd know that's marketing. >These prices don't look cheap to me. Cheap to me is $3 >for a pan. These are nowhere close. I was in town this morning to get my mail so since I pass the thrift shop I stopped in... they had four different tube pans, $1 per, all very serviceable. I bought two very nice crib blankies for my outside cats, 50¢ each, they're in the washing machine now. Thrift shops are a great resource, especially for housewares. |

One can find very inexpensive Bundt-style pans too, less than $10. "Bundt" is a registered trademark, owned by Nordicware, they designed the first Bundt pan... only Nordicware makes a correctly configured Bundt pan, all others are poor copys... unless yours is Nordicware you don't have a Bundt pan and you cannot bake a Bundt cake. |

No they do not, they sell for all different prices... actually one can buy a tube pan that costs triple the price of a Nordicware Bundt pan. http://www.amazon.com/Kaiser-Bakewar...ords=tube+pans |

Julie, Amazon can add whatever they want to search engines, but a tube pan has straight sides, not
fluted, and is used for things like Angel Food Cake. A Bundt pan has sloped, fluted sides and is used for Bundt cakes and coffee cakes and even Monkey Bread. They both have center tubes, but are NOT the same. N. |

This was probably before the advent of online shopping and certainly before Amazon anything. Anyone who does a computer search for anything should know all sorts of unrelated crap comes up. You have to filter your query to weed out the garbage. As you say, it's advertising. Looking at images does show bundt as well as tube pans. But even I, who doesn't bake cakes, know they aren't the same thing. Someone else described a tube pan as the pan made for angel food cake. That's exactly right and it sure isn't a bundt pan. ![]() >> These prices don't look cheap to me. Cheap to me is $3 >> for a pan.

Is your kitchen is that much > disarray? Figures........... If I do have it, it is in the cupboard of rarely used things. My large roasting pan is in there as well as my juicer and assorted cake pans. It is not a standard cupboard and has pullouts which I do not like to pull out because each time I do, things bail off the back and I have to resort to sitting on the floor with a flashlight and reaching tool to get them out. I know that I got rid of my popsicle molds and my pancake and tortilla warmers as well as a ton of assorted plastic things. I don't go into that cupboard unless I need something specific and I haven't needed that pan since we moved here. I think I got rid of it but am not certain on that. I am also not going to go digging in there to look for it just to satisfy you. I did keep most of my cake pans because they are good ones and would be expensive to replace. I do bake things once in a great while. The Bundt pan was purchased to make a Bohemian Popcorn cake for a Coast Guard potluck. After that, they asked that no sweets be sent in and only healthy foods sent to potlucks. It is unlikely that my cake was the deciding factor there though. They also asked people not to bring in leftover holiday sweets. I also now know that to make that silly cake, the pan was likely unnecessary. It is merely like a mixture of popcorn and melted marshmallow stuff like you would cook up to make that kind of popcorn balls. You then add whatever kind of candy you want as well as nuts if you desire. I'm sure that I could have made a similar shape freeform even. The person who gave me the recipe does not cook. She's blind. The recipe came from her mom who is a caterer so knowing this, when I made it, I followed the instructions. But the end result is very pretty and easily portable. |

To me, cheap is what you buy at the dollar store. I go there for foil pans for things I am taking somewhere or giving away. And yes, I did use those for fruitcakes. But for most of my baking I have good quality pans, not cheap, that I have had for years. Some are as many as 30+ years old. They're not non-stick and they don't tarnish so I expect they will last next to forever. |
