What sizes are your loaf pans?
Ive got a recipe that calls for a 9″×5″ loaf pan, which is what I always thought of as “standard” size. Our local cookware store carries Chicago Metallic and USA Pan, not in 9″×5″. In fact, Chicago Metallic does not even make that size; they have 8.5″×4.5″, and 10″×5″. USA Pan does make 9″×5″, but Ill have to mail-order it.

How big should a tea loaf pan be?
The recommended size for a tea loaf pan, based on our recipe, is 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches. This size is ideal as it allows the loaf to bake evenly and rise properly. If you’re unsure about the size of your pan, a simple way to check is to pour the batter into the pan. If it fills about 2/3 of the pan, then you’re using the right size.
What is a standard size loaf pan?
The standard size loaf pan usually has these dimensions: 8 ½ x 4 ½ x 2 ½ inches. This is the size you will find in baking stores and is what bakers traditionally use. However, you may also find a bigger loaf pan that measures 9 x 5 x 2 ½ inches. There are some who consider this their standard size.
How do you measure a loaf pan?
Once you have water in your pan, get a liquid measuring cup. Pour the water from the pan into your measuring cup to determine how many cups of water it can hold. Through this, you can see how many cups of batter you can put in your loaf pan. You can also measure the volume of your loaf pan by taking manual measurements.
