This pan is great for terrines, pates, bread and icebox desserts. The cast iron construction makes it great for oven, stove, fridge and freezer. The natural properties of the iron hold both hot and cold temperatures exceptionally well. The enamel coating means no seasoning and easy cleaning. The matte texture gives great browning and an easy release.
Everyone needs a loaf pan! From meat loaf, to banana bread, to any kinds of bread that you personally love, this pan will do it all and with wonderful results.
Everything from bread to meatloaf has met it's perfect pan. A cast iron loaf pan is going to deliver superior results to glass or steel because it heats up evenly on all sides and provides the perfect browning for the edges. The matte black coating has great release properties too. I love serving right from this because it has a rustic look that a good homemade loaf deserves.
Love, Love this pan! My banana bread gets a little crispy on the outside which adds so much flavor. My meatloaf browns and cooks faster because of the great way cast iron heats. It is enamalled on the inside so everything comes out super easy and clean up is a breeze.
This pan makes a great loaf of bread - yeast bread, sweet bread, quick bread. The cast iron bakes evenly resulting in a tender bread. Adjust cooking time a bit for the dark interior.
I will never go back to baking quick and yeast breads in glass or stainless steel again. Cast iron is definitely the only way to get perfect bread everytime. Makes a nice crisp crust, cooks evenly and leaves a moist soft interior. I use this all the time for my corn bread recipe that requires the pan to be heated to 450 degrees before the batter is poured in. The results are superior to any other pan I have tried.
