Know before you buy
The Le Panier Rectangular Baker has a 2.5-quart capacity. It is sized to comfortably serve a main dish for 4 to 6 people, depending on the recipe.
While the stoneware is freezer-safe, it is best practice to let the dish reach room temperature before placing it in a preheated oven to avoid thermal shock, which can cause the ceramic to crack.
The braided border is glazed, which helps prevent food from sticking. While it has more texture than a smooth-sided dish, it is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward.
No, this baker does not have a non-stick coating. We recommend greasing the interior with butter or oil before baking to ensure easy food release.
Yes, the integrated side handles are designed to provide a secure grip, even when using thick oven mitts to transport the dish from the oven to the table.
This piece is crafted in Portugal, a region renowned for its high-quality ceramic stoneware production.
