Know before you buy
The deep pleats provide structural support for the souffle as it rises, helping it climb straight up the sides of the dish. This design also creates the classic, professional aesthetic associated with traditional French baking.
No, these porcelain dishes are designed specifically for oven use. They are not microwave, freezer, or broiler safe, and they are not resistant to thermal shock, so you should avoid sudden temperature changes.
These dishes are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the porcelain, we recommend hand washing them with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
The 10 oz size is ideal for individual servings, while the 28 oz and 36 oz sizes are better suited for medium-sized recipes. If you are preparing a large souffle for a dinner party, the 1.75 qt or 2.25 qt options provide the necessary volume.
Yes, the porcelain is engineered with uniformly thin walls to ensure superior heat distribution. This allows the heat to penetrate the batter evenly, resulting in a consistent rise and a perfectly browned crust.
