Benefits and Features of Casserole Dishes
Casserole dishes bring versatility to your weeknight meal rotation. From lasagnas to pot roasts to protein-and-veggie bakes, these dishes make mealtime quick and easy thanks to their one-dish design. Love desserts? These dishes are great for baking crisps and cobblers.
You'll find casserole dishes crafted from a variety of different materials, including options like stoneware, porcelain and stainless steel. Stoneware baking essentials, like our baking dishes, are high-fired for durability and are usually finished with a protective coating. Enamel glazes protect these dishes from chips, scratches and stains.
Glazed porcelain dishes are also strong and durable. They tend to be a bit lighter in weight than stoneware pieces. Stainless steel bakeware, like our Thermo-Clad™ dish, features a heat-sensitive aluminum core that delivers uniform heating without pesky hot spots.
Casserole dishes made from materials like ceramic, stoneware and porcelain are often safe for use with ovens, broilers, freezers and microwaves. Some can be cleaned in a dishwasher, making your after-dinner clean-up easy and effortless.
As you browse our selection, you'll find some dishes that come with lids. Lidded options are great if you need to keep your one-dish meal hot longer, such as for brunch or a dinner party. Lids also help prevent your food from drying out.
Rectangles, squares, ovals, oh my! Classic rectangular-shaped dishes are great for making larger quantities of meals, such as baked pasta dishes. Smaller or shallower dishes are ideal for preparing sides or for when you're cooking for one or two people. Our Provence-inspired casserole, for example, is perfect for making veggie casseroles and even bread puddings.
Bring Style to Your Table Setting with Baking Dishes
One of the best features of casserole dishes is that you can seamlessly move them from oven to table without transferring food into a serving dish. Just cook your one-dish meal, remove it using oven mitts and potholders, and then place your casserole dish on a trivet at the table.
You'll find several casserole and baking dishes in our favorite bakeware items collection, including top brands like Le Creuset and Emile Henry.
