This cast-iron terrine from Le Creuset excels at gentle, even heating, essential for slowly cooked pâtés. Ideally sized for lasagna, meatloaf, bread or even custard, the heavy, tight-fitting lid seals in steam, so foods emerge tender and moist. Small blemish in top corner. Refer to pic. Not a crack!! Cast iron coated with durable porcelain enamel distributes heat slowly and evenly. Easy-clean nonreactive interior does not require seasoning. Ideal for use in the oven or on any cooktop, including induction. Vibrant, colorful exterior for stove-to-table presentation. Made in France.
