Know before you buy
While the product description mentions 1.75 quarts in some contexts, this specific model has a capacity of 1.5 quarts. It is sized perfectly for standard loaf recipes, meatloaf, or pound cakes.
The enameled surface is naturally resistant to sticking, but we recommend lightly greasing or flouring the pan as you would with any bakeware to ensure a clean release for delicate cakes or breads.
Yes, this pan is broiler-safe. Its dense stoneware construction is designed to withstand high heat, making it suitable for browning the tops of your loaves or finishing meatloaf.
Stoneware heats more slowly and evenly than metal, which helps prevent burnt edges and ensures a more consistent rise. It also retains heat longer, keeping your bread warm on the table after it comes out of the oven.
The enamel is highly durable and specifically engineered to be scratch and stain-resistant. However, avoid using metal utensils to cut directly inside the pan to keep the finish in pristine condition over time.
Yes, it is fully dishwasher safe. The smooth enameled surface is easy to clean, and the pan is designed to withstand the rigors of frequent dishwasher use without compromising its integrity.
