 Thanks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Every one really likes the pans, and they are so old, that's why they look a bit ratty. ;-((((( qahtan

As in the Velveteen Rabbit.  They obviously get a lot of use, which means they are much loved by you.

I make a similar bread with only two minor or major changes depending on your view point.  One I do a pre-ferment with about 25 percent of the flour and a very small about of yeast at 80 percent hydration.  I think this adds a lot of flavor.  The other is I use brown sugar -- adds another flavor note.

 I truly cannot remember how long I have had them, it was before my dear mum died and that was over 20 years ago.

The pans were given to me by the gentleman that worked in the deli dept of the local supermarket, back then the the brawn, head cheese, jellied meats  etc came in those pans, so when empty were thrown away, one day the assistant asked me if I could use them, I said sure.

He must have given me about 30 or more, free. and that's the story of the pans.

  I have given a lot of them away, some  have gone down to the states, and other parts of Canada, some to UK , and some just local.

The store is no longer there and any way I think they stopped using the tins soon after I got mine. they are very good tempered pans, go in the dishwasher etc.

 they also shape a good cake....    me,,,qahtan

I have 4 tins like that which I've had for years. They used to be sold in several shops in the UK, I think mine were from John Lewis.

I was quite sad to see the last time I was over in England and visiting that store that they've gone over to silicone pans.

Doesn't seem right for bread somehow.

Plus  postage,,, ;-(((((( qahtan

 The one pan I thought about ordering from Lakeland was 21 British  pounds,

 I telephoned them for the cost of postage from UK to Toronto,Ontario,

18 British pounds   total cost  = 39 British pounds convert that to  Canadian $$$

 it comes to almost  $70 or at today's exchange rate $68. bit expensive for one pan. Thank you very much.;-(((( qahtan

That price is ridiculous,qahtan!

I suggested the website for jannrn because she knew someone in the UK who could buy them for her. Price£4.97.

I wonder why they aren't sold in the USA or Cananda?

I am SOOO disapointed!! I was SO excited about buying those pans! I have about 40pounds of merchandise in the cart...waiting to hear what postage will be to Florida in the US.....now I am worried!!! I wasd hoping not to have to ask my friend to do it for me....she is so busy! Just hate to impose.... I will post what they say! The pans I want are less than $10 each!! Oh well...we will see!!
