Le Creuset stoneware loaf pan 9x5x3 (1.5 qt) Cerise — durable enamel, even baking

The Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Loaf Pan (9" x 5" x 3", 1.5 qt., Cerise) is a colorful, durable stoneware loaf pan designed to bake evenly and serve beautifully straight from oven to table.

Thoughtfully engineered for home bakers and cooks who value both performance and presentation, this Heritage loaf pan combines thick stoneware construction with a glossy, stain-resistant glaze. Its compact 1.5-quart capacity is ideal for single loaves, small meatloaves, pound cakes and individual casseroles, while the Cerise finish adds a cheerful pop to your tabletop. Built to resist temperature shocks and everyday wear, the pan moves easily between freezer, oven and dishwasher for flexible meal prep and cleanup.

How does this loaf pan improve baking results?

The dense stoneware body distributes heat steadily across the pan, helping breads and cakes brown uniformly without concentrated hot spots. Its thermal retention keeps finished dishes warm when serving, while the smooth enamel interior encourages even rise and release.

• Premium stoneware for consistent heat distribution
• Thick walls hold and radiate heat to finish bakes gently
• Nonporous glaze prevents flavor transfer between uses

Is it easy to clean and maintain after use?

Yes — the pan’s glazed interior is smooth and largely nonstick, so most baked goods lift out with minimal scraping. The durable enamel resists staining and scratching, and the piece is dishwasher-safe for hands-off cleanup when you prefer.

• Smooth enamel releases loaves and cakes with little residue
• Glaze resists stains and flavor absorption over time
• Safe for dishwasher and tolerant of metal utensils

Can I use it in different cooking environments?

Designed for versatility, this loaf pan tolerates a wide temperature range so it works straight from freezer to oven, and even to the broiler with care. It’s suitable for microwave warming and holds up under everyday oven use up to high temperatures.

• Thermal resistance from -9°F to 500°F for broad compatibility
• Freezer-, oven-, microwave- and broiler-capable when used appropriately
• Retains heat for serving and reheating without rapid cooling

What sizes and recipes suit the 9" x 5" x 3" capacity?

The 1.5-quart volume is tailored for single loaves and small family portions: think classic sandwich breads, quick breads, pound cakes, and individual casseroles. It also fits well for meatloaf recipes or layered savory bakes for two, giving neat slices and reliable portion control.

• Standard small loaf recipes and quick breads
• Meatloaf, terrines, and two-person casseroles
• Dessert loafs like pound cake or banana bread
