Silicone Bread Pan Braces

[jdurand]

My wife loves using silicone rubber bread pans except they tend to sag, resulting in a bulge in the loaf.

So, today she said "I need metal support straps for these pans before the bread goes in." Ok, I had a couple of hours max to come up with something.

I found a piece of strap slightly longer than I needed so off to the band saw to cut it in half. Banged the first one into a U on an anvil shaped object, checked the fit, more banging and then trimming in the band saw and to the belt sander.

Wife approves first one, make another.

Go bang, check, trim, sand, and submit for approval.

"You have done well, my husband."
