Know before you buy
Yes, the Burgundian clay construction is designed to withstand thermal shock, allowing you to transition the dish safely from the freezer to a preheated oven or broiler.
This dish does not feature a chemical non-stick coating. However, the high-quality enamel glaze is naturally smooth and resistant to staining and sticking, making it easy to clean after baking.
No, this baking dish is designed exclusively for oven, broiler, and microwave use. It should not be placed directly on stovetop burners or induction cooktops.
Yes, the dish is designed with large, integrated side handles that provide a secure grip, making it easier to maneuver in and out of the oven even while wearing bulky oven mitts.
No, this specific model does not include a lid. It is designed as an open-style rectangular baker, which is ideal for achieving a crispy, golden-brown crust on casseroles and lasagnas.
The dish is dishwasher safe, but for stubborn baked-on food, soaking it in warm, soapy water is usually sufficient. Because the enamel is scratch-resistant, you can use non-abrasive cleaning tools to gently remove residue.
