Know before you buy
Yes, the stoneware is broiler-safe up to 500°F. It is designed to handle high heat, making it ideal for browning the tops of casseroles or gratins.
While it is not coated with chemical non-stick layers, the high-quality glazed enamel interior provides a nearly non-stick surface. Food releases easily, and it is significantly easier to clean than standard ceramic bakeware.
It is dishwasher-safe, but hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to maintain the finish over time. The smooth enamel glaze prevents food from sticking, so a quick soak is usually all that is needed.
It is safe for freezer use, but you should avoid placing a frozen dish directly into a preheated oven. Allow the dish to reach room temperature before heating to prevent thermal shock, which can cause the stoneware to crack.
This rectangular dish has a 2.5-quart capacity. It is well-suited for standard family-sized recipes, such as lasagna, brownies, or roasted vegetables.
The exterior is finished with a durable, impermeable enamel that is specifically designed to resist scratches and stains. It is built to withstand everyday use while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
