Using this bread pan is a breeze. First, preheat your oven to the recommended temperature for your recipe. Grease the pan lightly if needed, though the non - stick finish usually makes this unnecessary. Pour in your batter or place your meat loaf mixture. Put the pan in the oven carefully using the curved edges for a good grip. Check your baked goods periodically to ensure they're cooking evenly. When done, let the pan cool completely before handling. To clean, wash it by hand with mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals as they may damage the non - stick finish. Store the pan in a dry place to prevent rusting.
