This super-functional baker is ideal for roasting, side dishes, or just serving. It's not too deep, allowing for great carmelization and concentration of flavors when roasting. Think Tomatoes Provencal or see page 288 of Paula Wolfert's cookbook Mediterrrean Clay Pot Cooking for a super-delicious and unusual take on roasted tomatoes.

Heavy and durable, clay bakers are fantastic at holding heat from oven to table, which means you can help yourself to warm seconds right then and there.

Available in three beautiful colors: Spanish Beige, Red, and Terra Cotta. Serves 4 to 6.

Opening 14" x 9½" x 1¾" H (35 cm x 24 cm x 4 cm).

Made in Spain

Gratin originally referred to the crust that adhered to the cooking dish. The best part of the dish, it was always "scraped off" (gratee in French) and eaten.

Features & Benefits

• Easy to clean, hand-applied glaze.
• Lead and cadmium free.

Use & Care

• For oven use. Not designed for the stovetop.
• Microwave safe.
• Ceramic glaze provides ease of cleaning. For difficult areas to clean, first soak for a few minutes in water, then scrub with a soft abrasive pad. Do not use metallic scouring pads.
• Dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand washing to give the best care to your earthenware. See our section Clay Cooking 101 for detailed explanations and effects of soaps and detergents on earthenware.
• Earthenware does not like extreme temperature changes. For example, do not take a baker cold from the refrigerator and place it directly in a hot oven; it may crack.
• Before first use, please season. A complete explanation of this procedure is explained in detail in Clay Cooking 101.
