Know before you buy
Yes, the ceramic construction is oven-safe up to 480°F, making it suitable for most standard baking and roasting recipes.
While the material is freezer and oven safe, we recommend allowing the dish to reach room temperature before placing it in a preheated oven to prevent thermal shock and potential cracking.
The baker has a brimful capacity of 24.8 ounces. It is best suited for small loaves, individual gratins, or side dishes rather than large family-sized casseroles.
Yes, the pattern is fired into the ceramic, making it dishwasher safe. It will retain its vibrant color and finish even with regular cleaning.
Because each piece is handcrafted in Poland, there may be slight variations in the placement and detail of the Cobalt Hydrangea pattern. This uniqueness is a hallmark of authentic Polish pottery.
