Know before you buy
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is oven-safe and provides excellent heat distribution, making it ideal for baking loaves of bread, pound cakes, or custards.
Yes, this terrine is fully compatible with all cooktops, including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction.
While the lid is designed to be tight-fitting to lock in moisture and temperature, it is not airtight. It is best suited for traditional oven baking or serving rather than immersion cooking.
Le Creuset uses a durable, chip-resistant enamel, but like all enameled cast iron, it should be handled with care. Avoid using metal utensils to prevent scratching the surface.
Hand washing helps preserve the luster of the enamel finish over time. While the material is durable, harsh dishwasher detergents can dull the exterior glaze.
The terrine weighs approximately 8.1 pounds. Its substantial weight is a result of the high-quality cast iron, which is necessary for superior heat retention.
