The only loaf tin here that publishes its dimensions, and 25.4cm is the standard length recipes are written around. Aluminium, so lighter and softer than the carbon steel alternatives.
- Price: ₱223 as of Aug 20, 2026
- Biggest pro: Dimensions are printed on the listing, so you can check it against a bread recipe before ordering rather than after
- Main catch: Aluminium is softer than carbon steel and will dent if heavy pans are stacked in it

Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- Dimensions are printed on the listing, so you can check it against a bread recipe before ordering rather than after
- 25.4cm is the standard medium loaf length most Filipino banana bread recipes are written around
- Metro Home is a physical Philippine retailer with a product page for the model, so the spec is traceable
✗ Cons
- Aluminium is softer than carbon steel and will dent if heavy pans are stacked in it
- At 5.8cm deep it is shallower than a tall sandwich-loaf tin, so a high-rising dough will dome over the rim
- Non-stick coating on a soft body scratches easily, so metal knives inside the tin are out

Why the published size is the headline
Loaf tins are the one category where the dimension genuinely changes the outcome. Bread rises to fill the tin it is in. Put a recipe sized for a medium tin into a large one and the loaf spreads flat; put it into a small one and it domes over the rim and splits.
Metro states 25.4 x 13 x 5.8cm on the listing, and metrohome.ph carries product pages for the MB series so you can verify it away from the marketplace. That is a straightforward advantage over the SLIQUE loaf mold, which publishes its material and its care instructions but not its size.
At 25.4cm, this is the standard medium loaf length. Most Filipino banana bread recipes assume it, and most imported quick-bread recipes translate to it directly.
What is the build?
Aluminium with a non-stick coating. That is a real difference from the carbon steel tins in this roundup, and it cuts both ways.
Aluminium heats faster, which is genuinely useful in a countertop oven that takes a while to recover temperature when the door opens. It is also lighter, which matters on a tin you lift out full and hot.
The cost is softness. Aluminium dents where carbon steel resists, and a dent creases the non-stick coating, which is where the coating starts to fail. Do not stack heavy pans inside it.
What are the limits?
5.8cm is shallow for a yeasted loaf. For banana bread, meatloaf and quick breads it is exactly right. For a high-rising sandwich loaf the dough will crown well above the rim, which looks good and slices badly.
Metal knives inside the tin will cut the coating, and running a knife round a loaf to loosen it is the most natural thing in the world to do. Use a nylon or wooden spatula.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱223 as of August 20, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That is above the SLIQUE loaf mold, and what the difference buys is a published size and a traceable model number rather than a better tin. The record is modest but clean: 265 sold with 59 ratings at 4.9.
Who should buy it
Buy this if you follow bread recipes that specify a tin size, or you bake in a countertop oven where fast heating helps. If you bake a tall yeasted loaf, or you want the more dent-resistant body, buy a carbon steel tin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do published loaf tin dimensions matter?
Because bread recipes specify a tin size and the rise depends on it. Too large and the loaf spreads flat, too small and it domes over the rim. A tin that states 25.4 x 13 x 5.8cm lets you check the recipe before you order rather than after.
Is 5.8cm deep enough?
For banana bread, meatloaf and quick breads, yes. For a high-rising yeasted sandwich loaf it is shallow, and the dough will crown well above the rim. That is a look some people want and a problem for anyone slicing it for sandwiches.
Is aluminium worse than carbon steel for a loaf tin?
Lighter and softer. It heats faster, which suits a countertop oven, but it dents if heavy pans are stacked in it and a dent creases the coating. Carbon steel is the more durable choice; aluminium is the more responsive one.
Is Metro Bakewares a real brand?
Yes. It is Metro Home Philippines' own bakeware line, and the MB model numbers have product pages on metrohome.ph, so the specs can be checked away from the marketplace listing.
