Know before you buy
While this stoneware is 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 Polmedia Oval Baker is oven-safe up to 480°F, making it suitable for most standard baking, roasting, and broiling tasks.
No, the intricate Blue Chicory pattern is applied under the glaze, which protects the design from fading, scratching, or wearing off during dishwasher use.
The 34 oz capacity is best suited for side dishes, gratins, or individual portions. It may be too small for a family-sized main course, but it is perfect for serving two to three people.
You can use this baker with complete peace of mind. Every piece is certified lead- and cadmium-free, meeting strict safety standards for food preparation.
