Terry,

Someone recently posted a brake that goes in your
vise.  Probably sufficient for 8" bends.

I agree with the crowd that say you don't want true
90degree bends.  Baking is rather like casting.  You
need a relief angle.

I have a folded-corner (nominally) 8"square cake tin.
It's of fairly thin tinned steel that's been rippled
in two dimentions, presumably for rigidity.  The
corners are folded over on the outside, and I see no
sign of corrosion at the (unsoldered) seams.  The top
edges are rolled, as if wired (but I can't tell if
there's a wire in there).  Brand name 0venex.

If this is for your own use, you'd probably do better
to look in 2nd hand stores or rummage sales.  Put the
word out to neighbors what you need.  Many people have
such "junk" cluttering up their cupboards and may be
happy to get rid of it.

Terry,
I agree with Bruce, my wife does a lot of baking, she has a dozen bread pans 
and all of them have folded corners.  She got a silicon pan this year and it 
was the only one that burned on the bottom, she may have to change her 
methods for that one.  She she discovered that to keep the bottoms from 
sticking for sweet breads she needed to put a piece of wax paper in the 
bottom.

My wife said that she got most of her bread pans at flea markets and garage 
sales.

I agree with you on the cake pans, they have straight sides because they are 
so shallow.
