Key Features

A covered cast iron loaf pan set designed for better oven spring, a crisp crust and more even baking. Use both pans together for sourdough, or separately for everyday loaf-pan recipes.

Better Oven Spring

The covered design retains steam around the dough, helping the loaf rise before the crust sets.

Bake Sourdough or Everyday Loaves

Use both pans together for covered sourdough baking, or separately for sandwich bread, pound cake, meatloaf and other loaf-pan recipes.

Even Heat, No Seasoning

Cast iron retains steady heat for even baking and browning, while the matte black enamelled interior is ready to use without seasoning.

Nothing but Iron and Glass.
Say goodbye to synthetic coatings that scratch, peel, and degrade over time. Our cookware features a premium enamel finish—essentially pure glass permanently bonded to a solid iron core.

This creates a stable, naturally non-toxic barrier, ensuring your food never touches raw metal. Because it’s completely non-reactive, you can slow-simmer acidic tomato sauces or bake sourdough with absolute peace of mind.

Crafted for clean cooking:
✓ Free from PFAS, PFOA & PTFE (No "forever chemicals")

Use & Care

Low to Medium Heat is All You Need
Cast iron holds heat beautifully. Skipping the high heat prevents food from sticking and protects your pan’s pristine enamel finish.

Keep it Scratch-Free
To keep the enamel looking brand new, reach for wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils instead of metal.

Oven-Safe up to 500°F (260°C)
Move seamlessly from stovetop to oven—perfect for baking your sourdough or slow-roasting a Sunday dinner.

Let it Cool First
Cast iron doesn't like sudden chills. Always let your hot pan cool to room temperature before washing to prevent the enamel from cracking or warping.

Simple Hand Wash
No harsh scrubbing or dishwashers needed. A quick wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is all it takes.

FAQs

  • Should I buy a 23x13 cm or 33x13 cm loaf pan?

    It depends on how you bake. A 23x13 cm pan is the standard, perfect for everyday baking and most recipes without adjustments. A 33x13 cm loaf pan is ideal if you want larger loaves for family gatherings or school bake sales—but keep in mind you’ll need to scale recipes up to maintain the proper loaf height and texture.

  • Can one loaf pan act as a lid to trap steam?

    Yes. Each pan works on its own as a regular loaf pan, and you can also use the second pan as a lid when you want to trap steam for extra oven spring and a thinner, shinier crust.

  • Do I need to season my loaf pan before using it?

    No. The interior is coated in matte black enamel, not raw iron, so it does not need to be seasoned to prevent rust. However, we recommend lightly greasing the pan or using baking paper for your first few bakes. Over time, the enamel will develop a natural non-stick patina that improves release.

  • Can I put my enamelled cookware in the dishwasher?

    While some enamel cookware is labelled dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing to protect the finish and keep your pan looking new for years.

  • Will my bread stick to the pan?

    Our loaf pan is free from synthetic non-stick coatings (like Teflon or PTFE), so a little preparation goes a long way. For the first few uses, we recommend greasing the pan generously with butter or oil, or using baking paper. The good news is that the matte black enamel is designed to build a natural "patina" (a seasoning layer) over time. The more you bake, the naturally slicker the surface becomes!

  • Is the pan very heavy?

    It is solid cast iron, so yes, it has some weight. The 23x13 cm double loaf pan is about 3.7 kg. The 33x13 cm version is about 7.2 kg. The wide handles are designed so you can lift it with two hands and thick oven mitts. Most bakers leave the pan on the oven rack and load or unload the dough there instead of carrying it around when it is hot.

  • How full should I fill the loaf pan?

    As a simple rule, aim to fill the pan about halfway up the sides with dough; this gives the dough room to rise without overflowing and helps you get a nice domed top instead of a flat brick or a spillover mess. For a standard sandwich bread in the 23x13 cm pan, that usually means around 500–800 g of dough, and for the 33x13 cm pan, 800–1,200 g.

  • Do I need to preheat the loaf pan before adding the dough?

    You can bake both ways, but they give slightly different results. Preheating the cast iron pan before adding your shaped loaf gives you faster oven spring and a thicker, crisper crust, because the dough hits a hot surface immediately; this works nicely for enriched sandwich breads and sturdy doughs. Starting the dough in a cool pan and heating everything together gives you a slightly gentler bake with a bit less bottom colour, which some people prefer for softer loaves. If you are new to cast iron, start with a cool pan and your usual recipe, then try a preheated pan once you are comfortable and see which texture you like better.

  • Why use a cast iron loaf pan instead of a standard metal one?

    A thin metal loaf pan reacts quickly to changes in oven temperature, which is fine for basic baking, but it can give you pale sides, hot spots, or a dry crust if your oven is temperamental. Cast iron loaf pans heat up more slowly and hold that heat all the way through the bake, so the dough gets steady, even warmth from every side and you end up with better oven spring, a more evenly browned crust, and a crumb that cooks through without drying out at the edges. The extra weight also helps the pan sit solidly on the rack instead of flexing or warping over time, which is a quiet but real advantage if you bake a lot.

  • Can I use this loaf pan for cakes, banana bread, and meatloaf too?

    Absolutely; it is not just for yeast bread. The even heat and tall sides make it perfect for banana bread, pound cake, tea loaves, and meatloaf. Because the enamel helps with release, you get nicely defined edges instead of warped or over-browned corners. Just grease and flour the pan or line it with baking paper like you would with a metal pan.
