Cooking Times for a PIG on CC Loaf

[kspry]

I've looked at the use & care, but it doesn't say - are the cooking times different than for a regular loaf?

It doesn't mention this in the PIG on CC, either.

Yes because the wells are smaller. I don't know the exact time difference. I'd look for a recipe that gives times for mini loaves and then experiment from there with your recipe.

If you can't find one, I'd reduce the time for a whole loaf by half and test it every five minutes til you hit the right time.

Thanks, I checked it a lot. It ended up being the same cook time - probably because I kept opening the oven door, heh.

I've never changed the cooking time when I've used it...but I mostly use my nose to know when it's done anyway!!

I made banana breads in the mini loaf pan the other day and used the same recipe and cook time as my 1 loaf pan. They tasted great!

I made Kelly's recipe for Chocolate Banana Bread
(http://www.chefsuccess.com/f8/stoneware-loaf-pans-31445/index2.html)
in the mini-loaf pan for a bake sale. So, a one-loaf recipe fits the mini loaf pan very well.

They went for $4 each! Pretty good, eh? Only 3 made it to the sale....husband and son attacked one as as they came out of the pan.

I also used the mini fluted pan for the first time. You know, the discontinued one that is on the outlet. I did the Fluted Chocolate Cappucino Cakes in it.

Oh my goodness, these are cute little cakes! What do you all think - would the mini fluted pan take a recipe for 2 loaves? I have my eye on this pumpkin cranberry bread recipe.

Off topic - Andrea, did you go to the Doreen Grass training in Lee's Summit last week, by chance?

The beer bread takes about 10 minutes less in the mini loaf pan than the larger 1 loaf pan.

Thanks, Beth, that's good to know. I usually get a beer bread mix with every other supply order.

I actually just made zucchini bread in mine today, and I cooked it for about 45 mins as opposed to one hour at 350.

HTH

Vanessa, could you post your zucchini bread recipe, please?
