Know before you buy
While the stoneware is freezer and oven safe, it is best practice to allow the dish to reach room temperature before placing it in a hot oven to prevent thermal shock.
The absence of handles gives the baker a sleek, classic look, but it does mean you will need to use oven mitts to grip the sides firmly. Ensure you have a clear path to your trivet or cooling rack when removing it.
Because the glaze is applied by hand, each baker will have unique variations in texture and color. This artisanal finish is intentional and part of the piece's French country charm.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, due to its dimensions and the delicate nature of the stoneware, hand washing is recommended to ensure it fits properly and to maintain the finish over time.
The baker measures 13.5 inches by 9 inches with a depth of 2.75 inches. It is well-suited for standard casseroles, roasted vegetables, or baked pasta dishes.
