Know before you buy
No, the Yorktowne Oval Platter is not oven safe. While it is microwave safe for reheating, you should avoid using it for baking or high-heat cooking.
The platter features sloped sides designed specifically to contain sauces and juices. While it is not as deep as a bowl, the design provides enough of a rim to prevent spills when serving saucy dishes like roasts or glazed meats.
As a durable stoneware piece, this platter has a substantial, sturdy feel rather than a delicate, lightweight one. This makes it well-suited for everyday use and carrying larger portions to the table.
Yes, the platter is dishwasher safe. Measuring 14 inches by 9.75 inches, it fits comfortably in most standard dishwasher racks, though you may want to check your specific rack configuration to ensure it clears the spray arm.
The platter features a glazed finish that is easy to maintain. Because it is dishwasher safe, you do not need to hand-wash it, and the glaze helps prevent staining from common food items.
