Baking Dish PEUGEOT APPOLIA Square 21 cm Slate

The PEUGEOT APPOLIA Square 21 cm Slate baking dish is a compact ceramic ovenware piece designed for preparing, baking and presenting single portions or small family servings. Its 21 cm square shape and slate-coloured finish provide a neutral, modern look suitable for everyday oven cooking as well as direct table presentation. The dish is made from oven-safe ceramic that retains heat evenly, helping to develop uniform browning and consistent results for gratins, casseroles, roasted vegetables and baked desserts.

Advantages

The ceramic construction offers good thermal retention and distributes heat evenly across the dish surface, which supports even cooking and browning. Its compact 21 cm square form is practical for portion control and offers a space-saving option for smaller ovens or crowded oven racks. The slate finish gives an unobtrusive, contemporary appearance that blends with different table settings and serving styles. The glazed surface is resistant to staining and simplifies cleaning after use.

How to use

Place ingredients evenly in the baking dish and preheat the oven to the required temperature before inserting the dish. Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when handling the dish to avoid burns. Allow the dish to cool slightly before cleaning; do not immerse a hot ceramic dish in cold water to prevent thermal shock. The dish can be used for assembling dishes prior to baking and for presenting portions directly at the table once removed from the oven.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid sudden temperature changes and follow your recipe’s recommended temperatures and baking times. To facilitate cleaning, soak any stubborn residues in warm water after the dish has cooled. When using at high temperatures, place the dish on a baking tray or rack to improve handling and protect oven surfaces.
