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

When I made fruitcakes, my recipe made so many that I baked them in anything
I could find. Sometimes even in old, washed out cans. 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":

I'm sure nb will get right on it - after Home Depot stocks food grade
aluminum. He's handy like that.

Even easier, he can use his head as a mold to form the aluminum foil,
and it already has that tube hole where normal folks have a brain.

I don't know about that. 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).

We can't help it if you pay too much money for things. Please feel free

don't bitch about the price simply because you don't know how to find an

I have a "non-stick" bundt pan like that, Mark. I really should add
it to the stack of items I'm donating. It's only been used a couple of
times and likely never again.

Um, he wasn't asking about how to test for doneness. I was under the
impression he wants to buy inexpensive (not disposable) loaf pans and
was asking for recommendations.

Where are you looking for these tube pans? 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.

A bundt pan is not the same thing as a tube pan even though both have the center tube.

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

Oh? So where can you get a cheap Bundt pan? I got mine at the military
commissary. That's the only place I could find one.

I am looking at Amazon where according to the search terms a Bundt pan is in
fact a tube pan. These prices don't look cheap to me. Cheap to me is $3
for a pan. These are nowhere close.

I know but I am looking at both at Amazon as I type this and they sell for
the same prices.

One would think! I've yet to find one under $10 and I need two. 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!

In Canada, all of the hardware stores and places like Sears sell them.

Canadian Tire has a Lagostina pan on sale at the moment for $11.99,
and Home Hardware has a flexible silicone one for $9.99.

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.

>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.

You think $10 is too much... then your ass is cheap, $2 a pop!

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.

So go for the disposable loaf pans. You don't even know if you're going

Jill: You'd have done well as a prosecutor. Good skills at remembering testimony and cross-exam.

Sheldon, she says she worked at KMart. 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.

Yep, thrift shops would be a good place to look. Even in my small area
there's a Goodwill store and a Salvation Army shop. There are probably
some smaller thrifts scattered around, too.

Makes them easier to give as gifts too. How much fruitcake is one
person going to eat?

Well, they aren't cheap pans. And besides, that's in Cdn$.

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.
