I recently acquired a loaf pan "8.5" X 4.5" made by Doughmakers.  The first 
thing you notice is the appearance - it is very different then any pan I've 
seen before. It is very shiny and it has a pebbled surface.  This surface 
is to promote even browning.  The pan also releases your baked product very 
easily.  I made a quick bread in it and it turned out beautifully.  Evenly 
browned and there were no damp spots (as I've had in some other 
pans).  Since I chose not to sprinkle the bottom with flour I thought there 
would "in reality" be a fight getting the quick bread out in one piece - 
but it released the bread by just turning it over.  Cleaned up easily with 
soap and water.  The pan is made of solid aluminum and guaranteed not to 
rust.  I was very pleased with it and look forward to trying more items 
from their expanding product line.  I don't think you will be disappointed 
if you purchase any of their products ... they are GREAT!!!
