Sheet Pans, Cake and Muffin Pans
Heavy-gauge metal bakeware and sheet pans are the best at turning out golden-brown, tender cakes, cookies and muffins, as well as for making sheet pan meals and more. Our Non-stick Metal Bakeware is made from heavy-gauge carbon steel and finished with a non-stick silicone coating for the dual benefits of uniform baking and browning AND excellent release and easy cleanup. So be sure to have plenty of Sheet Pans, Cake Pans and Muffin Pans for all your baking adventures. And don’t forget to add some fun cakelet pans for special occasions and holidays.

Mini Cocottes and Ramekins
Having a selection of Mini Cocottes, Ramekins and other individual baking dishes on hand for baking is always a great idea, whether you’re baking just for two or for a crowd. Because anything baked in a single serving dish is not only adorable, but also practical because recipes cook faster and you can tailor the serving size to just what you need. Bonus that these handy dishes are also great for prepping and storing ingredients, and also create instant stylish décor in the kitchen.

Another fundamental addition to any bakeware collection are pie and tart dishes, which are useful not only for their namesake baked goods but also for quiches, potpies, casseroles, cakes and more. If you like to bake show-stopping pies, the Heritage Pie Dish is a must-have in the kitchen.

Loaf Pans and Bread Oven
If you like to bake any kind of bread at home, whether that is quick breads or yeast breads, having a few different pans in your bread baking arsenal is the way to go. Fast and delicious quick breads like banana, zucchini and pumpkin are best made in a Loaf Pan, like our Heritage Loaf Pan or Non-stick Metal Bakeware Loaf Pan. But if you prefer yeast breads, like no knead bread, boules, buns and pizzas, then the enameled cast iron Le Creuset Bread Oven is for you. This purpose-built shape is designed to produce bakery quality results every time.
