Bright white porcelain glaze coats this loaf pan for a classic look. Based on vintage designs from Le Creuset's early days, the baker features traditional styling with an extravagantly fluted border for an eye-catching presentation. (The ruffles also serve as handles for easy lifting into and out of the oven.) The premium stoneware distributes heat evenly for perfectly baked cakes, quickbreads and casserole-for-two, and the glaze makes the display-worthy loaf pan scratch-resistant and virtually non-stick.Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.
