Know before you buy
Yes, the fully vitrified ceramic is designed to handle extreme temperature changes. However, it is best practice to allow the dish to reach room temperature before placing it in a preheated oven to ensure the longevity of the glaze.
This piece has a 90-ounce capacity, which translates to approximately 2.8 quarts. It is well-suited for family-sized portions of stews, roasts, or baked side dishes.
Fiesta Ware is known for its durable, non-absorbent, and scratch-resistant glaze. To back this up, the manufacturer includes a 5-year chip replacement warranty for added peace of mind.
While the dish does not have protruding handles, the straight-sided design provides a secure grip. We recommend using sturdy oven mitts to safely lift the base, especially when it is full or hot.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. While the manufacturer recommends hand washing to maintain the luster of the glaze over time, the vitrified ceramic is robust enough to withstand regular dishwasher cycles.
The tight-fitting domed lid is designed to trap steam and moisture, which helps keep your food tender and flavorful. It also helps promote even heat distribution, making it ideal for slow-roasting or baking.
