Know before you buy
The Vietri Lastra Square Baker is oven safe up to 400°F. Avoid exceeding this temperature to prevent potential damage to the stoneware.
It is best to avoid extreme temperature shocks. Allow the dish to reach room temperature before placing it in a preheated oven to ensure the longevity of the stoneware.
With a height of 3 inches and a 1.75-quart capacity, this dish is well-suited for standard layered casseroles, gratins, or roasted vegetables. It provides enough depth for bubbling sauces without being overly bulky.
No special care is required. The baker is fully dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean after everyday use or entertaining.
The high-fired Italian stoneware is durable and resistant to most kitchen stains. However, as with all stoneware, it is recommended to clean the dish promptly after use to maintain its pristine finish.
