Source for Pullman Pans
Several people have been asking lately for sources for inexpensive Pullman pans..Unfortunately, I have never encountered such a beast..All of the Pullman pans that I have personally used in restaurants / bakeries, and that I have purchased for myself, have been commercial quality..And that, unfortunately, means expensive..Several weeks ago I was perusing the internet to try and find a source for the 4"x4"x8.5" Pullman pans that I purchased through KA Flour 4-5 years ago..I found a website that had a good selection of the Paderno World Cuisine professional-grade lidded bread pans, but like I sometimes do, I forgot to bookmark the site..Today, I found a folded in half piece of paper with photographic notes on it that I opened up for some reason, and there was the website's name for the Pullman bread pans written down..The site is called My Cooking Store..
My Cooking Store carries the best selection of lidded Pullman bread pans of any website that I have visited, to date..They also carry the pans w/o lids for those bakers that would like to have a sandwich loaf with a square cross-section, while still retaining a domed top..The nice thing about the Paderno Pullman lidded bread pans is that they are available in sizes that no other manufacturer makes..With 5 sizes, there is a Pullman bread pan for every conceivable need..

I hope this is of some help to those looking for Pullman bread pans..While not inexpensive, these pans, just like those from Chicago Metallic, should last for several lifetimes if they are not mistreated..
