VIETRI Old St. Nick Round Earthenware Baker Bakeware

Features

• Terra Bianca - A white earthenware clay that is often used for handpainted designs as it provides the ideal canvas for storytelling, allowing colors to truly come to life.
• Region & artistry - A region in central Italy, Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history, craftsmanship, and influence on culture. The birthplace of the Renaissance, Tuscany is often called the art palace of Italy, and many of the world's greatest works of art come from the region. Ceramics have a long legacy in the area and maintain their place of importance in the region today.
• Oven Safe - Vietri's casserole and baking dishes can be used in most conventional ovens and dishwashers. They are handcrafted of very dense clays and fired at high temperatures, making them heat resistant up to 400°F. Do not use casserole lids in the oven, unless otherwise noted. Hot casseroles and baking dishes should never be placed on cool, damp, or unprotected surfaces. Vietri bakeware should never be taken directly from the refrigerator to the oven due to the extreme temperature change, nor should it be placed directly from the oven to the freezer. The handles of these pieces are decorative and should not be used for support. Please remove the bakeware from the oven by holding the body of the dish, supporting the base. It is important that baking and casserole pieces in our Old St. Nick collection be cured. To cure, fully submerge and soak the piece in water for 15 minutes. This soaking prepares the dish, reduces cooking time, and prevents food from sticking.
• Dishwasher Safe - We recommend using a non-fragrant/non-citrus, non-abrasive detergent on the air dry cycle (or Econo heat when available). It is recommended to place the dishes so they avoid touching during the high-pressure dishwashing and as such, we recommend you do not overload the dishwasher. All dishes should be dried thoroughly before being stored.
