Know before you buy
Yes, the Burgundy clay construction provides excellent thermal shock resistance, allowing you to transition the dish safely from the freezer to a preheated oven.
This baker has a 3.2-quart capacity, which is ideal for standard casserole recipes, brownies, or roasting vegetables for a small to medium-sized family.
The hand-applied glaze is highly durable and designed to resist scratching and chipping. However, we still recommend using silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the pristine finish over the long term.
No special care is needed. The baker is fully dishwasher safe, and the glazed surface is naturally resistant to sticking, making it easy to clean by hand as well.
Yes, the handles are built into the design to provide a secure, stable grip. They are sized to accommodate standard oven mitts, allowing you to move the dish from the oven to the table with confidence.
