Description

At 8-1/2 inches long and 5 inches across, this dish is sized to bake and serve an individual portion of winter vegetable gratin or Deviled Crab casserole. Traditionally shaped for baking French gratins, this oval dish has shallow, flared sides that focus most of the oven's heat onto the larger surface area. This ensures that the bottom and center of the gratin stays moist and rich from cream or vegetable liquids and the top forms a bubbly golden crust. The thin even walls on this dish provide the ideal heat conduction for the ultimate combination of creaminess and crispiness and enable the dish to retain its heat at the table. An exquisite specimen of fine French pottery, this porcelain baking dish is a milky white color with slanted sides and lightly scalloped and textured "ear" handles that make it easier to carry this dish from oven to table. Family-founded in 1818, the Pillivuyt porcelain factory still employs skilled artisans who use the proprietary porcelain recipe and the original time-honored traditions of handcrafting each piece. Replacement molds are all handmade by craftspeople who have spent many years in training, and who shape them to the level of perfection that this superior bakeware requires. The result is a tough porcelain base that can withstand temperature extremes, making this baker safe to move among the oven, freezer, microwave, or broiler. And, with a little liquid in the baker, the pan can even be placed over a diffused flame on the stovetop. All pieces are glazed and fired at temperatures of about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, which produces a non-porous, rock-hard finish that easily cleans up by hand or in the dishwasher. The lead-free glaze is resistant to crazing and staining and won't absorb food odors or flavors. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Reviews

Pillivuyt - since 1818
Linda Smiles

I love to cook with porcelain and prefer Pillivuyt or Apilco over any of the Chinese porcelains like Bia Cordon Bleu which in spite of its French name is made in China. I purchased 2 of the 5x3 dishes for under 10 dollars for both. A great deal and perfect for escargot. Even though I measured the dishes are smaller than expected but have proven useful on numerous occasions.

Extremely tiny
DurhamMom

Cute, but very small. Keep in mind that the dimensions include the ears. So, it is very very tiny.

Nice Quality and Lead FREE!
Jesus rocks my world

I have a set of Pillivuyt Dinnerware and really like it a lot. This Pillivuyt dish is exactly the same quality and Lead free!! This is one of the things that I look for in dishes, but is quite hard to find. Nice and heavy in the hand. Good for keeping your food warm longer. Great quality! Nice individual serving size for spagetti or mac-n-cheese, or simply smaller portioned side dishes.
