The Tarte Tatin, is named after the unmarried Tatin sisters, who ran a hotel in the Loire Valley at the end of the 19th century...
The story goes that Stephanie Tatin mistakenly put the peeled apples, butter and sugar into pan the without lining it with pastry first ... realising her mistake she popped the pastry on top of the apples, into the oven and the delicious apple desert was born ...
If you'd like to try your hand at a tatin, without investing in a Le Creuset dish, Silverwood also make tatin dishes.
Le Creuset Tarte Tatin Dish
Not just for tarte tatin Don't limit yourself to an apple tarte tatin! This dish is perfect for sweet or savory tatins or indeed any dish that you start to cook on the hob, then want to put into the oven or under a grill (or both) ... we love Delia Smith's Red Onion version!
No hotspots These enamelled cast iron tatin dishes can withstand high temperatures without their shape distorting and that in turn helps to prevent hotspots, which can burn your food. No hotspots, no burnt food (hopefully).
All heat sources No matter what your heat source, be it induction, halogen, ceramic, gas, electric, solid plate, aga or rayburn these dishes are suitable. And you can, of course, use them in your oven and under your grill.
Easy to use handles Because the handles are set lower than the top of the dish, you can pop your serving plate on top of the tatin dish, hold the two together and flip over your tatin without any of the contents escaping onto the floor in the process ... not all tatin dishes have this clever feature!
