Chantal Square Baker

While the stoneware is freezer-safe, you should always allow the dish to reach room temperature before placing it in a preheated oven. Sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock, which may crack the ceramic.

The semi-gloss glaze is designed to be smooth and stain-resistant, which makes food release much easier than with raw stoneware. However, for sticky recipes like brownies or caramelized dishes, we still recommend lightly greasing the interior.

Yes, the baker features ergonomic handles specifically designed to provide a stable grip. They are sized to accommodate standard oven mitts, making it safer to move the dish in and out of the oven.

With a height of 2 1/2 inches, this dish is well-suited for layered casseroles and lasagnas. The deep sides provide enough clearance to prevent bubbling sauces from spilling over onto your oven floor.

The glaze is durable and scratch-resistant, but we recommend using silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the pristine finish of the surface over time. Metal tools can eventually leave gray marks or micro-scratches on any glazed stoneware.
