Deep Oval Baker

I love how evenly this dish bakes my heavy casseroles—the French porcelain really holds heat without hot spots. The deep sides are perfect for layered gratins without spilling over.

This baker handled a bubbling hot gratin straight from the oven to the table without any cracking, and the porcelain cleaned up beautifully after soaking. The even heat distribution meant my casserole was perfectly cooked edge to edge for the first time.

I was worried about thermal shock when putting a cold casserole straight from the fridge into a hot oven, but this baker handled it perfectly. The porcelain feels substantial and the even heat made my gratin come out with no burnt edges.
