Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Loaf Pan, 9" x 5" x 3" (1.5 qt.), Artichaut

The Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Loaf Pan is a kitchen essential that transitions beautifully from oven to table. In the deep, generously sized 9" x 5" x 3" (1.5 qt.) cavity, you can bake artisan breads, pound cakes, meatloaf, and even layered casseroles for two. The premium stoneware construction delivers outstanding heat distribution for uniform browning, while the vibrant Artichaut glaze is nonporous, non-reactive, and scratch-resistant—making it a go-to for everyday baking and serving.

Le Creuset Heritage Stoneware Loaf Pan: Why Stoneware?

Stoneware is fired at high temperatures to ensure durability and exceptional thermal performance. Unlike metal loaf pans, this stoneware version retains heat well, so your bakes rise evenly without hot spots. The smooth enamel interior releases food easily, and the glaze resists stains and flavor absorption, so you can use it for sweet and savory recipes alike.

What to Bake in a Le Creuset Loaf Pan

Beyond classic sandwich bread, this loaf pan is perfect for banana bread, lemon pound cake, and no-knead artisan loaves. It’s also the right size for a cozy meatloaf or a bubbling chicken and vegetable casserole for two. The deep sides keep ingredients contained and help create a beautiful crown on bakes.

Oven-to-Table Versatility

Finished with Le Creuset’s signature colorful glaze, the pan goes straight from the oven to a serving board or trivet. The cheerful Artichaut shade complements any kitchen décor. Because the stoneware is safe for freezer, oven, microwave, and broiler, you can prep ahead, reheat, and serve in the same dish.

Care and Maintenance

The Le Creuset Heritage Loaf Pan is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to keep the glaze looking new. It is also safe for metal utensils, but wooden or silicone tools are gentler. To prevent thermal shock, never place a hot pan in cold water—let it cool gradually.
