Know before you buy
Yes, the high-fired Burgundy clay is designed to withstand extreme temperature changes. You can safely transition these pieces from the freezer to a preheated oven without worrying about thermal shock.
Yes, the handles are designed with a wide, integrated profile that provides a secure grip. Even with bulky oven mitts, you will find it easy to maneuver the dishes safely from the oven to your countertop.
While the glaze is highly durable and scratch-resistant, we still recommend using silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the pristine finish over the long term. Metal tools can eventually leave grey marks or micro-scratches on any ceramic surface.
This set includes a baking sheet, a loaf pan, and a cake pan. These three shapes cover the essentials for most American-style baking, from breads and pound cakes to roasted vegetables and sheet-pan meals.
Burgundy clay offers superior heat retention, which means it heats up gradually and maintains a consistent temperature throughout the baking process. You may find that your food browns more evenly compared to thin metal pans, though your standard recipe times should remain largely the same.
The 10-year warranty covers manufacturing defects that affect the performance or structural integrity of the bakeware under normal household use. It does not cover accidental breakage, such as dropping the dish on a hard floor.
