Know before you buy
While the stoneware is durable and freezer-to-oven safe, it is best practice to allow the dish to reach room temperature before placing it in a preheated oven to prevent thermal shock.
The baker measures 11.5 inches in length and 8.5 inches in width, with a depth of 3 inches. This size is ideal for individual soufflés, gratins, or small-batch side dishes.
The Italian stoneware is highly resistant to chipping and surface wear. With standard use, the glaze remains smooth and durable, though we recommend using nylon or wooden utensils to maintain the finish over time.
Yes, stoneware is excellent at heat retention. It will keep your dishes warm throughout a meal, making it a functional choice for oven-to-table serving.
While the baker is oven-safe, it is not recommended for use under a direct broiler flame, as the intense, concentrated heat can damage the glaze or cause the stoneware to crack.
