A vivid gradient teal glaze inspired by the sunlit waters of the Mediterranean coats this loaf pan for a lush 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 lasagna-for-two, and the glossy 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.
