Know before you buy
Yes, the ceramic construction is designed to withstand thermal shock, meaning it can safely transition from a freezer at -4°F to a preheated oven up to 500°F.
No, the non-stick properties come from the high-quality, scratch-resistant glaze rather than a chemical coating. It is naturally non-toxic and free from harmful additives.
No, this dish is designed exclusively for oven, microwave, and freezer use. It should not be placed directly on a stovetop burner or under a broiler.
The dish is dishwasher safe, but for stubborn baked-on food, the non-stick glaze allows for easy hand-washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
This size is ideal for side dishes, small gratins, or desserts for 2 to 4 people. If you are cooking a main course for a large family, you may find the 1.75-quart capacity a bit compact.
No, this specific model does not include a lid. It is designed as an open-top baking dish, perfect for achieving a golden-brown crust on your casseroles and bakes.
