Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Traditional Round Tarte Tatin Dish, 2 qt., Flame

Product Description Named after the famous French dessert, the shallow design of the enameled cast iron heritage Tarte Tatin Dish is ideal for making not only pies and tarts but also pastries, pizza, quiche, frittatas and more. Sauté fruit and vegetables on the stovetop to start, then transfer the dish to the oven to finish baking. When ready to serve, the smooth interior enamel provides easy release of baked goods, and the inverted handles make it easy to flip the dish for serving. Crafted from our legendary cast iron, the iconic dish is beloved for its perfected design and exceptional heat retention, producing superior results from stove to oven to table. Amazon.com Designed specifically for preparing pastry-topped dishes like Tarte Tatin that start on the stovetop, finish in the oven, and then must be flipped onto a platter for serving, this round, 9-3/4-inch, 2-inch-deep pan is versatile enough to be used in many ways. It's ideal for deep-dish pies, cakes, and quiches. And because it's safe on any stovetop, including induction, it can brown and saute foods. Large, flat handles on the sides facilitate flipping pastry-topped dishes and permit the pan to be carried ceremoniously to the table. A recipe booklet accompanying the pan recounts the tale of Tarte Tatin's accidental invention. The pan is made of cast iron, with both exterior and interior clad in two coats of Le Creuset's famous bright enamel. As cast iron is unexcelled for heat distribution and retention and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the pan cooks food evenly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating. It's also dishwasher-safe. Like all Le Creuset cast-iron cookware, the pan is hand cast in a one-of-a-kind sand mold and hand finished at the Le Creuset factory in France. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
