Need Help: Cannot Find Terrine

[Piobaire]

I can't seem to find the perfect terrine. I know they make them with lids that screw down and put pressure on the pate, after you cook it. Does anyone have a brand name or link?

Pio, have you called Bridge Kitchenware in Manhattan? They are amazing.

You might give them a call and see what they could order for you. I've found the staff very helpful in the past.

Thanks. I'm itching to make a pate this weekend though, so am trying to find something to get overnighted to me.

I was snooping around for you, but couldn't find one that was built to compress the terrine. I'd think your best bet would be getting one that breaks away from the terrine, which are pretty common, and then get a loaf pan that can sit on top of the terrine with Saran Wrap in between.

Here's one, with a round bottom, that has a flat lid that can compress if you fill the terrine at least above the mold and then place a heavy object, like *******, on top of it to compress.

Dawg this is super easy. Get a regular terrine mold, get a piece of wood or plastic cut down to fit the top, wrap the plastic/wood in plastic wrap, and weigh it down with whatever is heavy and fits.

That seems so makeshift. I actually found one with a weighted lid, two upward facing handles, specifically designed to compress the pate. They stopped producing it

Kwilk is right. That is what I have always done.

I know he is...even have diagrams of just this in the Ruhlman book. I just wanted that elegant solution of the screw down lid. I guess I'll get a le Creuset ordered or something
