This casserole dish's graceful practicality and chic design mean that it looks as beautiful on the table as it does bubbling in the oven. It has an ultra-safe ceramic coating, for non-stick cooking even at high temperatures, and its responsiveness to heat means that it becomes and remains hot for longer, which saves energy and eliminates the food burning that occurs from 'heat spots' in less temperature-sensitive designs. Its tempered glass lid allows you to watch the progress of your culinary creations, whilst retaining essential moisture and nutrients. Turn every meal into a precious memory, with the Sophie Conran for Portmeirion Cookware collection. Designed and crafted with specialist knowledge of traditional cooking materials such as porcelain and ceramics, these pieces have an understated elegance that moves seamlessly from freezer to oven, oven to table, and table to dishwasher, for increased efficiency and practicality. An award-winning modern classic, Conran’s collection elegantly imbues the everyday with a sense of style and occasion. When using under the grill, always allow a distance of at least 6 cm (2.5 inches) between the dish and the grill. Ensure the dish is allowed to defrost fully to room temperature before placing in a preheated oven. Do not use on the hob, or other direct heat sources.
