Cooking with Stoneware
Whether cooking with smaller Stoneware pieces such as our Petite Casseroles or with larger pieces such as the Rectangular Stoneware Dish it is important to use and care for them correctly.
Never use any Stoneware pieces on the hob or direct heat source to avoid any damage. Our Stoneware pieces are incredibly versatile and can be safely used in the microwave, freezer, refrigerator, dishwasher, and oven, with a maximum oven-safe temperature of 500°F / 260°C. Remember to always use oven mitts when handling hot Stoneware.
A gap of a least 6.5cm should always be maintained between the rim of the dish and the heat source when using our ovenproof Stoneware under the grill to prevent the Stoneware from overheating. Always be cautious of hot handles and refrain form covering handles with plastic wrap.
Avoid placing a frozen dish directly into a preheated oven as this can affect even heating. Instead, allow the dish and the oven to heat up together by placing the frozen dish in a cold oven. Before serving, always check that the centre of the food is thoroughly heated.
