The Signature Loaf Pan is ideal for everything from breads and pound cake to meatloaf, brownies and even ice cream. With a generous depth and capacity, it's also great for bubbling casseroles and lasagna. Crafted from our legendary enameled cast iron, the excellent heat distribution creates golden brown crispy crusts and edges, while the straight sides make it easy to serve perfectly portioned slices. Durable and easy to clean, the interior surface is finished with a black satin enamel that eliminates the need for the traditional seasoning and maintenance of raw cast iron. The enamel develops a natural patina over time making it virtually non-stick and easier to maintain and clean.Features Enameled cast iron delivers superior heat distribution and retention; Ready to use, requires no seasoning; Easy-to-clean and durable enamel resists dulling, staining, chipping and cracking; Black satin interior enamel develops a patina over time to enhance cooking performance; Ergonomic handles are designed for easy lifting; Lightest weight cast iron by quart on the market; Compatible with all cooktops and oven-safe up to 500; Safe for dishwasher;
