Comporta Crackled Stoneware Baking Dish 29 cm

Key measurements for finding the right spot:

• Dimensions: 29 x 19 cm
• Height: 7 cm
• Weight: 1.2 kg

All you need to know about the material:

• Material: Crackle-glazed stoneware in grey-green, speckled stoneware visible through the glaze
• Thicker, matte glaze at the bottom, thinner on the interior walls
• Line of fixed bubbles around the bottom edge, a trace of glaze accumulation
• Ears pinched by hand, tips never symmetrical
• Dimensions 29 x 19 cm, height 7 cm, 1.2 kg, gratin for four
• No dishwasher use documented by the manufacturer

The true quality of this grayish green is that it doesn't compete with anything: it doesn't turn red when it comes into contact with tomato sauce, doesn't yellow under a gratin crust, and looks as good on the table as it does coming out of the oven. It's a dish you don't need to transfer, which in itself is the reason for its existence.

What you need to know to install and maintain it:

• Place on an insulating mat when removing from the oven, never on a cold surface
• Wait for the dish to cool before washing, thermal shock can damage the pottery
• Lukewarm water and a soft sponge
• Dry before storing
