Know before you buy
While the basin is oven-safe, it is primarily designed for traditional steaming methods. If using a pressure cooker, ensure the basin fits comfortably and that you have a way to safely lower and lift it, as the earthenware can become quite hot.
No, the basin does not include a lid. When steaming traditional puddings, it is standard practice to cover the top with parchment paper and foil, securing it with kitchen twine to create a water-tight seal.
This basin is oven-safe up to 320°F (160°C). It is designed for gentle, consistent heat rather than high-temperature roasting or broiling.
The vents on the base are a functional design feature that allows air to escape during the steaming process. This prevents the basin from rattling or tipping over in the water bath, ensuring your pudding cooks evenly.
Yes, its durable construction and classic aesthetic make it excellent for serving side dishes, individual soufflés, or even as a prep bowl. Its 0.95-quart capacity is ideal for smaller portions or side servings.
The high-quality earthenware is durable and resistant to most kitchen stains. However, as with all porous ceramic materials, it is best to wash it promptly after use to keep the white finish looking pristine.
