The plus side, and the minus
Strengths
- Stated PFAS- and BPA-free, in LFGB-certified platinum silicone
- Releases without greasing, per Backefix’s lotus-effect surface
- Reinforced outer walls and grip area against bulging when full
- The same 2.2 qt (2.1 L) capacity as the steel Kaiser, in a flexible pan
Compromises
- Silicone browns a crust less than steel does
- A flexible pan needs support on a tray when full
- No manufacturer part number published
- Not sold on Amazon.com: the button runs a search instead
Same volume, different material
2.2 quarts (2.1 L) at 10.2 inches (26 cm) — the same capacity as the steel Kaiser in this hub, in a shorter, flexible pan. For scale, the standard American 9 × 5 inch loaf pans on this shelf are slightly shorter again.
They are not interchangeable. Steel conducts heat and gives a browned crust; silicone insulates and gives a paler one. What silicone gives back is release.
No greasing
Backefix publishes a mirror-smooth lotus-effect interior that releases without greasing and without sticking. On a loaf that is the difference between turning out and excavating.
The bulging problem, addressed
Silicone pans sag when full. Backefix publishes reinforced outer walls and a reinforced grip area against exactly that — which is a maker naming the known weakness of its own material rather than ignoring it.
Materials
Platinum silicone certified to LFGB — the German food-contact standard, under which the material is tested for what migrates into food — stated PFAS-free and BPA-free. That is a meaningful contrast with the Kaiser in this hub, which publishes a PES coating containing a small proportion of PTFE. Neither is presented here as better; both are published, and the choice is the reader’s.
Buying it in the United States
Backefix sells this pan on the European Amazon stores, and not on Amazon.com: the reference opens no listing there, and a search finds none. The button on this page therefore runs a search for comparable silicone loaf pans. On this shelf, the Sur La Table 9 × 5 in loaf pan is the one stated free of PFAS, in carbon steel rather than silicone.
What readers want to know
Silicone or steel?
They fail differently and they bake differently. Steel conducts heat and browns a crust; silicone releases without greasing and cannot rust or lose a coating. The Kaiser in this hub is 2.1 L of coated steel and this is 2.1 L of silicone — the same volume, two different loaves.
Does it need a baking tray under it?
Backefix publishes reinforced outer walls and a reinforced grip area specifically against bulging, which is the known weakness of silicone tins. Even so, a flexible pan full of batter is easier to move on a tray, and that is how most bakers use them.
