Chicago Metallic 44065 4-Strap Bread Pan 8x4

Chicago Metallic 44065 Bread Pan

The Chicago Metallic 44065 is a four-strap aluminised steel bread pan built for commercial and home bakers who produce multiple loaves in a single bake. Its open-top design and 26-gauge construction give consistent crust formation across all four slots. The pan measures 19 3/4 inches in overall length and 8 3/4 inches in overall width, fitting standard full-size sheet racks. Bakers who need non-stick coating or dishwasher-safe cleanup should look elsewhere.

Build integration and workflow

The pan sits directly on oven racks or sheet pans without additional hardware, freeing up bench space that individual loaf tins would occupy. Aluminised steel conducts heat evenly, so the four slots brown at the same rate, reducing the need to rotate positions mid-bake. The 2 1/2-inch depth supports high-rise doughs while the rigid frame prevents warping under heavy loads. Kitchens without hand-wash stations will find the non-dishwasher-safe surface a limitation.

Thermals, noise and power

Aluminised steel heats quickly and holds temperature steadily, delivering repeatable crust colour without hot spots. The material contains no moving parts, so operation is silent and adds no electrical draw to the kitchen. Oven-safe rating means the pan withstands standard baking temperatures without degradation. Hand washing is required after each use, and the pan is not rated for freezer storage.
