Additional Features

• Stoneware: Fired at extremely high temperatures, resulting in a vitrified product that is impermeable and less porous, elevating its strength and durability.
• Terra Marrone - A dark clay that is among the strongest earthenware clays available. It has traditionally been used in Italy for making outdoor sculptures and wall art for churches.
• Freezer safe - the item can withstand freezing temperatures, but please allow it to return to room temperature before putting it into the oven.
• Oven-safe - VIETRI's casserole and baking dishes can be used in most conventional ovens and dishwashers. They are handcrafted of very dense clays and fired at high temperatures, making them heat resistant up to 400° F. Do not use casserole lids in the oven, unless otherwise noted. Hot casseroles and baking dishes should never be placed on cool, damp, or unprotected surfaces. VIETRI bakeware should never be taken directly from the refrigerator to the oven due to the extreme temperature change, nor should it be placed directly from the oven to the freezer. The handles of these pieces are decorative and should not be used for support. Please remove the bakeware from the oven by holding the body of the dish, supporting the base.
• Microwave safe - the temperature of VIETRI pieces may vary after microwave use due to the handmade nature of quality, natural clays. Always use a potholder or oven mitt when handling the product as the item may get hot. Do not permit children to handle any product that has been heated in a microwave. Do not put any products into a microwave without food or liquid on or inside the piece. Allow the item to cool before taking it out of the microwave.
• Dishwasher safe - we recommend using a non-fragrant/non-citrus, non-abrasive detergent on the air dry cycle (or econo heat when available). It is recommended to place the dishes so they avoid touching during the high-pressure dishwashing and as such, we recommend you do not overload the dishwasher. All dishes should be dried thoroughly before being stored.
• Incanto stone, handcrafted by the same maestro artisans, is made of highly durable stoneware making it chip-resistant, and available in a crisp white as well as aqua finish.
• Food safe
