Ovenproof Oval Ceramic Baking Dish ALPINA 27×17×5.3 cm, black

ALPINA oval ceramic ovenproof baking dish, 27×17×5.3 cm in black, is a compact cookware piece designed for oven cooking and table presentation. Made from heat-resistant ceramic, it distributes heat evenly to support consistent browning and gentle cooking of casseroles, gratins, roasted vegetables and baked desserts. The oval shape and moderate depth make it suitable for small portions and ovens, while the glazed surface simplifies cleaning and maintenance.

Advantages

The ceramic construction provides stable thermal performance and retains heat after removal from the oven, keeping food warm when served. Its ovenproof design allows direct transfer from oven to table, reducing the need for additional serving dishes. The glazed black finish resists staining and facilitates washing by hand; the compact oval form is space-efficient for storage and fits a range of oven sizes.

Suitable for

• Baked casseroles and gratins for two people
• Roasted vegetables and small poultry portions
• Individual desserts such as cobblers and bread puddings
• Reheating and serving dishes directly from oven to table

How to use

Preheat the oven to the required temperature and place the prepared ingredients into the baking dish on a stable oven rack. Avoid rapid temperature changes; do not place a hot ceramic dish on a cold or wet surface. Handle with oven mitts when removing from the oven because the dish and handles will be hot. Use wooden, silicone or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the glazed surface when serving and stirring.

Usage recommendations

For best results, grease or lightly oil the interior before baking to facilitate release of food. Allow the dish to cool slightly before washing; soak if necessary and wash by hand with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid thermal shock by not transferring directly from freezer to a hot oven. Suitable for everyday baked dishes where even heat distribution and presentable table service are required.
