Know before you buy
Yes, this dish is made from durable heat-resistant glass suitable for oven use. However, as with all vintage glassware, avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing a cold dish directly into a preheated oven, to prevent thermal shock.
The interior is split into two equal sections by a glass divider. This design is specifically intended for serving two different side dishes or portions simultaneously without the flavors or liquids mixing.
The lid is designed to fit the casserole for serving and storage, but it is generally recommended to use it primarily for covering dishes while they rest or to keep food warm. It is not intended for high-heat baking.
To maintain the integrity of the glass and the finish of the Verde Opal lid, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is recommended. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh dishwasher detergents, which can dull the glass over time.
The 2.5-quart capacity refers to the volume of the base dish itself. When filling, ensure you leave a small amount of headspace at the top to prevent spills during the baking process.
