Fluted Ceramic Pie Dish

Pale glazed stoneware conducts heat gently and evenly, so bottom crusts brown without burning before the filling bubbles. The dish is a generous inch and three quarters deep, roomy enough for a heaped apple pie or a savory pot pie, and the wide fluted rim gives you a ready-made guide for pressing a neat edge.

It goes from freezer to oven to table. Avoid sudden temperature shocks, such as setting a hot dish on a wet counter, and let it cool before washing. Cleanup is easy in the dishwasher, and the glaze will not absorb berry stains or savory smells from last week's quiche.
