Equipment you will use

Pot

Line a terrine mold or loaf pan with saran wrap, leaving plenty of wrap overhanging the edges of the pan. Stack the ears one on top of the other, making the pile as flat and even as possible. Wrap the saran wrap over the ears and weight it down with one or two heavy cans. Allow to cool, then leave it to congeal in the refrigerator overnight.
