Baking Dishes & Casseroles

Baking Dishes for Cooking and Serving

When it comes to cookware, few items are as versatile as baking dishes. They function as everything from casserole pans to brownie trays and heat your food evenly no matter the type of cuisine. The best part of baking dishes? They also make stylish serveware. Bring them directly from the oven to the dining table and dig in; just make sure to use a trivet to protect the tabletop. Baking dishes with lids keep the food warm as it sits on the table during the meal. If you want to utilize multiple pieces at once, baking dish sets are a convenient way to round out the bakeware collection. They're a smart gift idea for bakers, and also make ideal wedding and housewarming presents. Consider giving a set to a loved one alongside measuring cups and a spatula so they have everything they need to start baking immediately.

Baking Dish Materials and Brands

Not sure which material of baking dish is the best fit for your kitchen? Different options bring their own advantages to the table. Glass baking dishes, for example, allow you to monitor your food as it cooks. It's fun and informative to watch its progress and examine your creation from all angles. Pyrex offers stylish glass designs that also come with lids, making food storage quick and convenient. If you prefer the natural look of stoneware baking dishes, consider Le Creuset's bakeware that comes in multiple colors. Or, opt for ceramic baking dishes with brands such as Staub. Whatever type of dish you choose, just be sure that it fits your kitchen as well as your culinary needs.
