Deep Plat Ovale - Oval Baking Dish

This is the oval baker from Revol's Belle Cuisine line: 11 in by 8 in, 2.27 in deep, holding 3.3 quarts. The shape suits a whole fish, a leg of something, a gratin, or a tray of roast vegetables, and the shallow depth is what gives you browning rather than steaming. Porcelain holds and spreads heat evenly, so the crust or the skin crisps across the whole surface instead of only at the edges. It is rated for the oven, the microwave up to 572F, and the freezer, which means a dish can be assembled ahead, frozen, and baked without changing vessels. The glaze is hard-wearing. Repeated dishwasher cycles do not dull or shift the color, which is the usual failure of cheaper bakeware. It weighs 70.5 oz empty, so it is substantial in the hand and stable on a table. Made in France. At $135 it is a buy-once dish that goes from the oven straight to the table without being decanted.
