Description

At 7 inches around, this dish is sized to bake and serve an individual portion of polenta gratin or an appetizer of hot crab and artichoke dip. Traditionally shaped for baking French gratins, this round 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 dish safe for the oven, freezer, microwave, or broiler. And, with a little liquid in the dish, it 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

pillivuyt 9" round eared casserole dish
Gift Card Recipient

I borrowed 2 11" dishes from a friend for a family reunion dinner. I made one scalloped potato with three cheeses in my regular glass baking dish and one in the Pillivuyt baking dish. I had never used procelain baking dishes before. The two items were cooked separately. The glass dish had some not quite cooked spots and some were almost over cooked spots. The Pillivuyt dish cooked the same throughout. I immedately purchased this 9" dish and began to look for the larger size that my friend had loaned to me. Unfortunately, the 11" had not been imported to the U.S. for a couple of years. And the 13" several years before that. I did find one 11" on the internet in New York and it was their last one. I plan to buy more Pillivuyt, I guess from a company in UK.

handy but hard to clean
Coz McRae

This is a very handy size both for the microwave and the toaster oven.However, it is very hard to clean. I've taken to using SoftScrub cleanser on it, which works pretty well.

Stylish and practical

Made in France and the quality shows it. The 6-inch size is very versatile. I use for entrees, salads, desserts.
