How to use

Preheat the oven to the recipe-specified temperature before placing the dish inside. Use oven mitts when handling the hot ceramic. Apply a thin layer of oil, butter or non-stick agent if a recipe requires it; for many gratins and casseroles the glazed surface is sufficient to reduce sticking. After use, allow the dish to cool to room temperature before washing to avoid thermal shock. Clean with warm water, mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge to preserve the glaze.

Usage recommendations

Avoid sudden temperature changes such as moving the dish directly from freezer to a hot oven or from oven to cold water. Check the recipe for recommended baking temperatures and do not use the dish on direct hob burners or open flame. For best results when serving, place the hot dish on a heat-resistant trivet or mat to protect table surfaces.
