Want to try making Corn Bread. Recipe says best to use heavy skillet - will 20cmx10cm loaf tin do?

Never made Corn Bread before. First time trial. Argos.co.uk keeps throwing back frying pans when type in skillet. Found oven safe Meyer skillet on John Lewis website but thought 拢25 a bit much to spend on a pot!Want to try making Corn Bread. Recipe says best to use heavy skillet - will 20cmx10cm loaf tin do?
No not really. An iron skillet is ideal because in order to get the golden crust the pan must be preheated in a high heat oven with fat in the pan. A tin pan is not sturdy enough and may warp. Iron skillets season themselves and become better each time they are used. I keep one just for corn bread. Good luck.
