Know before you buy
While Polish stoneware is highly durable and heat-resistant, 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 has a brimful capacity of 24.5 ounces, or approximately 3 cups. It is best suited for small casseroles, side dishes, or individual portions rather than large family-sized meals.
No, the vibrant floral motifs are applied under the glaze and fired at high temperatures. This process ensures the design remains fade-proof and protected from everyday wear and tear.
Yes, this stoneware is fully dishwasher safe. Its high-quality glaze is designed to withstand repeated dishwasher cycles while maintaining its luster and chip resistance.
The integrated handles are designed to provide a secure grip, though they are relatively compact. We recommend using thick oven mitts to ensure you have a stable hold when removing the dish from a hot oven.
