I am disappointed in this pan and am returning it to Amazon.
I was looking for something that would hold more than the standard 10X5 loaf pan I currently use for meatloaf. This pan has just about the same capacity. I could only get 2 quarts of water in it - although if I had filled it to overflowing, i might have been able to get 2 1/4 quarts in there.
The measurements given are inaccurate. The 13" length measurement includes the handles, and even with the handles it is only about 12 3/4". The width is 5" rather than 5 1/2", and that is the outside diameter. The interior measures only about 4.5" wide. The depth is described accurately.
If you're looking for a handsome more-or-less standard size (and rather expensive) loaf pan, you will probably be quite happy with this, but if you're looking for something over-sized, this is not the way to go.
