Crafted of dense stoneware, this rectangular baking dish blocks moisture absorption to prevent cracking and crazing. The porcelain glaze resists scratches and stains as it showcases a vivid gradient teal finish that shimmers like the sunlit waters of the Mediterranean. The nearly non-stick interior resists sticking, effortlessly releases foods and cleans up easily. The baker is a versatile, oven-to-table option for marinating, roasting and serving, with an ideal size for roasts and casseroles.Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic cookware is prized for its utilitarian beauty and unsurpassed heat retention.
