Le Creuset Rectangular Baker

The lid is fully functional and versatile. You can use it as a cover while baking to lock in moisture, or flip it over to use it independently as a shallow baking pan or a stylish serving platter.

While the stoneware is freezer-safe, you should avoid extreme temperature changes. Always allow the dish to come to room temperature before placing it into a preheated oven to prevent thermal shock.

The baker weighs 10 lbs. It is a substantial, high-quality piece of stoneware, so you will definitely want to use both of the ergonomic handles when moving it, especially when it is full.

No, the high-fired enamel finish is nonporous and specifically designed to resist stains, chips, and cracks. It will not absorb flavors or odors, making it safe for acidic ingredients like tomato sauce or citrus marinades.

It is completely dishwasher safe. However, because of the glazed interior, food usually releases very easily, so a quick hand wash with warm, soapy water is often all you need.

This baker is oven-safe up to 500°F. It is perfect for roasting, baking, and even broiling.
