The Chantal 9" loaf pan accommodates your favorite breads. Chantal's exceptionally strong, non-porous glaze wont react with foods or flavors. You can slice and serve directly from this dish, without worrying about scratches. Crafted to ensure excellent heat distribution, our loaf pan promotes even baking. We hand-sand the base for a smooth, no-scratch surface. It cleans easily in the dishwasher and is oven, microwave and freezer safe. All Chantal ceramics are lead and cadmium safe.
