Know before you buy
While the stoneware is freezer-safe, you should always allow the dish to reach room temperature before placing it in a preheated oven. Sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock, which may crack the stoneware.
The Heritage Oval Casserole is oven-safe up to 500°F. This makes it suitable for a wide range of roasting and baking tasks, including high-heat searing or browning.
The enamel is highly resistant to scratches and stains, but it is still best practice to use silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to maintain the pristine finish over time. Metal utensils may leave gray marks on the surface.
Yes, the lid is designed to fit securely, which helps trap heat and moisture inside the dish. This is ideal for slow-cooking meats or keeping casseroles tender and juicy.
The dish weighs 9 pounds on its own, so it will be quite substantial once filled with food. The grooved side handles are designed to provide a secure grip, but we recommend using two hands and sturdy oven mitts when transporting it.
No, this stoneware casserole is designed exclusively for oven, microwave, and freezer use. It should not be placed directly on a stovetop burner or under a broiler.
