30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASETerrine is one of those words that sounds more complicated than it is. Basically, it's minced meat, liver, fish or vegetables packed into a mould and cooked slowly in a water bath in the oven. The terrine then rests, ideally overnight, and is sliced cold. It's make-ahead food in the best sense, because all the work is done before the guests arrive.
Staub's terrine is made of cast iron, which spreads heat evenly and slowly – exactly what a terrine needs. The exterior is matt black and the interior has a glossy black enamel. The lid has a small hole to let steam escape. The mould works just as well for pâté, a meatloaf or a gratin.
Available in two sizes. The smaller measures 15 x 11 cm and holds 0.7 litres, just right for a starter for a few. The larger is 30 x 11 cm and holds 1.45 litres, enough for a terrine to serve a whole table.
Oven safe up to 240 °C, works on all hobs including induction and is dishwasher safe. Made in France.
