ROSSALLINI stoneware casserole dish 13x9 4.23-Quart Blu Indaco with Lid, oven-to-table freezer-safe

Rossallini's 13 x 9 inch, 4.23-quart reactive Blu Indaco stoneware casserole with lid is an oven-to-table baking dish designed to roast, bake, store, and serve with durable, chip-resistant glazed finish.

Handcrafted in the Rossallini Signature series, this extra-large rectangular covered baker blends Italian-inspired style with practical cookware performance. The high-fired stoneware tolerates temperatures from freezer cold to 500°F, features a non-porous enamel glaze that resists stains and odors, and ships in a vibrant reactive blue finish that varies subtly between pieces. It’s sized for family casseroles, lasagna, cobblers and everyday oven baking while doubling as an attractive serving piece.

How does this casserole stand up to everyday oven use?

The Rossallini stoneware is formulated for consistent heat distribution and high-temperature durability. Its dense, high-fired body prevents hot spots and helps food bake evenly while the enamel glaze resists scorching and absorbs less residue than porous ceramics.

• Safe from -65°F to 500°F for freezer-to-oven transitions.
• Non-porous enamel minimizes sticking and staining.
• Withstands oven and broiler use (avoid direct stovetop flame).

What features make it easy to serve and store?

The rectangular shape and 4.23-quart capacity suit family-sized recipes and portioned leftovers. Traditional scalloped side handles and a reverse-tapered lid knob provide secure grips even with oven mitts, and the lid helps retain heat and protect food in storage.

• 13 x 9 inch footprint fits standard oven racks and refrigerator shelves.
• 2.5 inch depth accommodates layered casseroles and lasagnas.
• Tight-fitting lid for covered serving and compact freezer stacking.

How do I clean and care for this stoneware?

The glazed interior simplifies cleanup by releasing food and resisting knife marks, stains, and odors. For daily care, the dish is dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing with a soft sponge preserves the reactive finish longer.

• Dishwasher-safe; hand wash recommended to maintain reactive glaze appearance.
• Avoid metal scourers or sharp utensils that can scratch glaze.
• Do not expose to sudden temperature shocks (avoid placing hot dish directly into icy water).

Is each piece identical in color and pattern?

Rossallini’s reactive glazing process produces subtle variations, so no two pieces are exactly the same. Those variations are intentional and give each casserole a handcrafted, artisanal look without affecting performance.

• Reactive Blu Indaco finish offers unique surface mottling on every piece.
• Variations are cosmetic; functional specifications remain constant.
• Perfect for coordinated but distinct serving sets or statement bakeware.
