Baking dish PEUGEOT APPOLIA square 21 cm Satin Black

The PEUGEOT APPOLIA square baking dish, 21 cm in a Satin Black finish, is a ceramic/stoneware oven dish designed for baking, roasting and serving individual portions or small family meals. Its compact square form combines functional cooking performance with a neutral dark surface that suits modern table settings. The dish is made for direct oven use and is intended for preparing casseroles, gratins, baked desserts and small roasts, then bringing the dish straight to the table for serving.

Advantages

The stoneware construction provides even heat distribution for consistent browning and baking results. The 21 cm square footprint saves oven space while offering sufficient volume for single dishes or shared portions. The Satin Black glaze resists staining and presents a clean, minimalist look for serving. The dish is sturdy and retains heat well, helping dishes stay warm at the table after removal from the oven.

How to use

Place the empty dish on an oven rack and preheat the oven to the temperature required by your recipe. Add ingredients directly into the dish and position it in the centre of the oven to ensure even cooking. Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when removing the dish; the stoneware will be hot. Allow the dish to cool slightly before washing. Follow any care instructions for ceramic cookware to avoid thermal shock—do not transfer a hot dish directly to a cold or wet surface.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid sudden temperature changes and preheat the oven before placing the dish inside. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the surface or use a thin layer of oil or butter for sticky batters and gratin toppings. Clean with warm water and a non-abrasive sponge; avoid metal scouring pads to preserve the Satin Black glaze.
