Baking Dish ALPINA Ceramic Rectangular Ovenproof Dish 21.8×13.2×5 cm (white)

The ALPINA Ceramic Rectangular Ovenproof Dish 21.8×13.2×5 cm in white is a compact baking vessel designed for oven use and tabletop serving. Made from glazed ceramic, it provides even heat distribution for small casseroles, individual lasagnas, gratins and roasted vegetables. The neutral white finish suits a variety of table settings and the durable glaze offers resistance to high oven temperatures while remaining easy to clean for everyday home baking.

Advantages

This ceramic baking dish offers uniform heat transfer to cook ingredients evenly and develop a light crust on gratins or baked dishes. Its glazed surface is non-porous, which reduces sticking and simplifies washing by hand or in a dishwasher if the glaze and manufacturer instructions allow. The compact rectangular shape saves oven space and is convenient for single servings or small family portions, and the white colour provides a versatile presentation option for serving directly at the table.

Suitable for

• Baking small casseroles and individual lasagnas
• Preparing gratins and au gratin dishes
• Roasting vegetables or small protein portions
• Serving food on the table due to its neutral white finish
• Everyday home baking and reheating dishes in the oven

When it may not be suitable

This dish is relatively small (21.8×13.2×5 cm) and therefore not suitable for large family roasts or full-size lasagna intended for many servings. It is designed for oven use and glazed ceramic is breakable if dropped or subjected to sudden mechanical shocks. Avoid using it on open flames, induction or electric stovetop elements unless the manufacturer explicitly states such compatibility.

Key specifications

• Material: glazed ceramic
• Shape: rectangular
• External dimensions: approximately 21.8 × 13.2 × 5 cm
• Colour: white
• Intended use: ovenproof bakeware for cooking and serving
• Surface: smooth glazed finish for easier cleaning

How to use

Preheat the oven to the required temperature for your recipe and place the dish on a middle rack for even baking. Lightly grease or use a small amount of oil or butter if recipes require to prevent sticking, though the glazed surface reduces adherence for many dishes. Avoid rapid temperature changes: do not transfer the dish directly from freezer to hot oven or from oven to cold surfaces. After use, allow the dish to cool before washing; clean with warm water and mild detergent, and consult any care instructions for dishwasher suitability.

What to consider before purchase

• Size suitability for the number of servings you plan to prepare
• Glazed ceramic requires careful handling to avoid chips or cracks from impact
• Confirm dishwasher and temperature limits in accompanying care instructions
• Not intended for direct stovetop, open flame or induction cooking unless specified

Usage recommendations

Use the ALPINA ceramic dish for evenly baked single-portion casseroles and gratins; preheat the oven and avoid sudden temperature shocks to extend the life of the glaze. Allow the dish to cool before cleaning and handle with care when removing from the oven to prevent accidental chips.
