Know before you buy
The set includes three graduated rectangular dishes with capacities of 4 quarts, 2.4 quarts, and 1.1 quarts. These sizes are designed to handle everything from large family-sized lasagnas to smaller side dishes or desserts.
While the stoneware is designed to withstand extreme temperature changes, it is best practice to allow frozen dishes to thaw slightly or come closer to room temperature before placing them in a hot oven to prevent thermal shock.
Yes, the traditional scalloped handles are specifically designed to provide a secure, ergonomic grip, even when you are wearing bulky oven mitts or using pot holders.
The interior features a nearly nonstick, impermeable glaze that significantly aids in food release. While it is not a chemical nonstick coating, it performs exceptionally well for baking and makes cleanup much easier than standard ceramic bakeware.
Yes, all three dishes are dishwasher safe. The durable exterior enamel is designed to resist staining and scratching, ensuring the pieces maintain their finish even after repeated cycles.
