Le Creuset stoneware loaf pan 9 x 5 x 3 in (1.5 qt) — Artichaut glaze, even-heat durable baking pan

The Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Loaf Pan (9" x 5" x 3", 1.5 qt.) is a durable, glazed stoneware baking pan designed to produce evenly browned loaves, casseroles, and desserts while transitioning elegantly from oven to table.

Made from premium stoneware and finished in Le Creuset's Artichaut colorway, this loaf pan combines reliable thermal performance with a smooth, nearly nonstick glaze. It's sized for everyday baking needs — from sandwich loaves and pound cakes to meatloaf and individual casserole portions — and is built to resist stains, scratches, and flavor transfer. The design focuses on even heat distribution and retention, so results are consistent while clean-up stays simple.

How does this loaf pan affect baking results?

The dense stoneware body promotes uniform heat across the baking surface, reducing hot spots and encouraging even browning and rise. Its heat retention helps maintain oven temperature stability for steady baking throughout the cycle.

• Premium stoneware for consistent heat distribution and uniform browning
• Thick walls retain warmth for better crumb and texture development
• Glazed interior minimizes sticking for clean slices and easy release

Is the pan easy to care for and clean?

The Heritage Loaf Pan's smooth, nonporous glaze resists stains and prevents absorption of odors or flavors, so cleaning is straightforward. It is dishwasher-safe, and its durable enamel tolerates everyday handling without cracking or crazing when used within recommended temperatures.

• Nonporous glaze resists staining and flavor absorption
• Dishwasher-safe for convenience; handwashing preserves finish longest
