Emile Henry Modern Classics 3 Quart Loaf Pan

Bake better bread — and bring it straight to the table. The Emile Henry Modern Classics Loaf Pan brings a touch of originality to a classic shape, combining the superior heat-distributing properties of high-fired Burgundy ceramic with a sleek, contemporary profile that looks as beautiful on the table as it performs in the oven. Whether you're baking a golden sandwich loaf, a rich pound cake, a banana bread, or a savory meatloaf, this pan is designed to bake evenly and serve elegantly, without the transfer to a serving dish that metal bakeware always demands.

The pan is made from HR ceramic — Emile Henry's proprietary High Resistance formula using all-natural, mineral-rich Burgundy clay fired at extreme temperatures. This ceramic body absorbs, distributes, and retains heat with a gentleness and consistency that no metal pan can replicate — producing loaves that bake evenly from edge to center, stay soft and light in their crumb, and achieve the steady, even browning on the exterior that distinguishes a properly baked loaf from one rushed in a reactive metal pan. The thermal shock resistance is exceptional: go directly from the freezer or refrigerator to a hot oven without concern — the HR ceramic handles the transition without cracking or crazing.

The scratch-resistant glaze does not scratch from use or cleaning, does not craze over time, and is virtually non-stick for easy food release and fast cleanup. Oven safe to 520°F. Microwave, broiler, and freezer safe. Dishwasher safe. Lead and cadmium free. At 10" x 6" x 3.1" outer dimensions with a 9" x 5" x 3" interior. Made in Marcigny, France since 1850 by Emile Henry. 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

Key Product Features

• HR Ceramic — High-Fired Burgundy Clay Bakes Evenly, Retains Heat, Keeps Loaves Soft & Light: Emile Henry’s proprietary HR ceramic formula absorbs, distributes, and retains heat with a gentleness and consistency that metal pans cannot replicate — producing loaves that bake evenly from edge to center, achieve steady exterior browning, and stay soft and light in the crumb without the hot spots and reactive heating that aluminum and steel pans introduce.
• From Oven to Table — No Transfer, No Serving Dish, No Extra Cleanup: The Modern Classics profile is designed to go directly from the oven to the table without the visual apology of a battered metal pan — the clean, contemporary lines and beautiful glaze make serving straight from the baking vessel the natural, elegant choice, eliminating a transfer step and a serving dish from every bake.
• Exceptional Thermal Shock Resistance — Freezer to Hot Oven Without Concern: HR ceramic’s extraordinary thermal shock resistance allows this pan to go directly from the freezer or refrigerator to a preheated oven without cracking, crazing, or any structural concern — making it the ideal vessel for prepare-ahead loaves, frozen bread doughs, and refrigerated overnight rises pulled and baked immediately.
