Know before you buy
While the stoneware is freezer-safe, it is best practice to allow the dish to reach room temperature before placing it in a hot oven to prevent thermal shock and potential cracking.
The baker measures 17 1/4 inches in length including the handles and stands 3 1/2 inches tall. Its generous rectangular size is well-suited for family-sized casseroles, lasagnas, or large roasted vegetable dishes.
Yes, the handles are integrated into the design to provide a stable grip. However, because they are part of the stoneware body, they will become hot in the oven, so always use thick oven mitts when handling.
The fine stoneware features a durable glossy glaze, but like all glazed ceramics, it can be susceptible to scratches from sharp metal utensils. We recommend using nylon, silicone, or wooden tools to keep the surface looking pristine.
The baker is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. If you encounter stubborn baked-on food, soaking the dish in warm, soapy water before washing is usually sufficient to loosen residue without needing abrasive scrubbers.
