Ceramic Baking Dish Mega Creative 23x18x5 cm, model 868-E6

The Mega Creative ceramic baking dish 23x18x5 cm (model 868-E6) is a glazed, heat-resistant oven dish designed for everyday home cooking. Its rectangular shape and shallow depth make it suitable for single-serving casseroles, gratins, lasagnas and baked side dishes. The glazed ceramic surface promotes even heat distribution and retains warmth for serving straight from the oven to the table.

Advantages

This ceramic baking dish offers uniform heat conduction and thermal stability suitable for typical oven temperatures used in household baking. The glazed finish reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning compared with unglazed ceramic. Its compact external dimensions make it easy to store and the neutral design fits a variety of kitchen styles and table settings.

Suitable for

• Baking casseroles, gratins and lasagnas
• Roasting small portions of vegetables or fish
• Preparing oven-baked desserts such as fruit crumbles
• Reheating and serving dishes directly from oven to table

When it may not be suitable

This dish is intended for oven use and not designed for direct use on stovetops, induction hobs or open flames. Abrupt temperature changes, such as transferring a hot dish to a cold surface or rinsing with cold water immediately after baking, can cause thermal shock and lead to cracking.

Key specifications

• Material: glazed ceramic
• External dimensions (approx.): 23 x 18 x 5 cm
• Shape: rectangular, shallow
• Typical use: oven baking and serving
• Surface finish: smooth glazed interior and exterior

How to use

Preheat the oven to the recipe-specified temperature. Place ingredients into the prepared ceramic dish and set the dish on an oven rack or baking tray for easier handling. Allow the dish to cool slightly before removing from the oven and avoid sudden temperature changes. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive cleaners and metal scouring pads that can damage the glaze.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the dimensions 23 x 18 x 5 cm meet your recipe and portion size requirements
• Confirm compatibility with your oven interior space and rack configuration
• Consider serving and storage preferences: glazed ceramic retains heat but can be heavier than metal alternatives

Usage recommendations

For longer product life, preheat the oven with the dish inside and avoid placing the hot dish on cold or wet surfaces. Use silicone or cloth oven mitts to handle the dish, and let it cool gradually before washing. These practices minimize thermal stress and preserve the glazed surface for regular oven use.
