Emile Henry The Right Dish Rectangular Baker

Yes. The ceramic is specifically engineered to be thermal shock resistant, meaning it can handle drastic temperature changes without cracking. You can prep your casserole ahead of time, freeze it, and bake it immediately without needing to thaw it first.

It has a 3.1-quart capacity, which is a standard size for family-style meals. It comfortably fits a large lasagna, roasted vegetables for a crowd, or a whole chicken with room for sides.

The lid is substantial enough to retain heat and moisture during cooking, but it isn't cumbersome. It is designed to sit flat on top of the dish, which makes it excellent for stacking in the fridge, though it is not an airtight, locking seal.

While the glaze is highly durable and scratch-resistant, it is still ceramic. We recommend using wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to ensure the finish stays pristine over the long term.

The baker weighs 6.2 pounds empty, so it has a solid, high-quality feel. Once filled with a heavy meal, it will be quite substantial, so be prepared to use two hands when moving it from the oven to the table.

No, the 10-year warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal household use. It does not cover accidental drops or thermal shock caused by misuse, such as placing the dish on a direct stovetop burner.
