Pillivuyt Porcelain Medium 2-Quart, 12-by-7-1/2-Inch Sancerre-Style Oval Roaster

Pillivuyt Porcelain Medium 2-Quart, 12-by-7-1/2-Inch Sancerre-Style Oval Roaster Description

The Sancerre oval roasters from Pillivuyt offer unique offset handles that make them easier to remove from the oven and carry to the table. Like all Pillivuyt cookware, the Sancerre oval roasters have multiple functions for baking and roasting and the deep sides prevent splattering in the oven. This is a uniquely shaped piece and is a sturdy work-horse for everyday use. The heat conduction is outstanding and the dish will retain heat at the table throughout the meal. Dubbed "the original non-stick cookware" by experienced users, Pillivuyt porcelain is surprisingly easy to clean. Baked-on foods will slide off easily with a short soak or a gentle scrub. We stand behind our product and guarantee it against crazing or discolorations in the glaze. The medium Sancerre oval roaster is the perfect size for couples and small families. It measures 12 x 7 1/2 inches and has a 2 quart capacity.

This 12-by-7-1/2-inch oval roaster with a 2-quart capacity bakes six rolled fillets of stuffed sole, about four double-baked potatoes, or a small roast with the ideal heat conduction for a superbly executed recipe. An exquisite specimen of fine French pottery, this porcelain roasting dish is a milky white color and has the rounded lines and flared lip with offset handles that comprise the style of the Sancerre collection. The roaster's pristine beauty and excellent heat retention make it a wonderful serving vessel that goes from oven to table, and its plain design is certain to blend with all dinnerware. Family-founded in 1818, the Pillivuyt porcelain factory still employs skilled artisans who use the proprietary porcelain recipe and the original time-honored traditions of handcrafting each piece. Replacement molds are all handmade by craftspeople who have spent many years in training, and who shape them to the level of perfection that this superior bakeware requires. The result is a tough porcelain base that can withstand temperature extremes, making this baker safe to move among the oven, freezer, microwave, or broiler. And, with a little liquid in the baker, the pan can even be placed over a diffused flame on the stovetop. All pieces are glazed and fired at temperatures of about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, which produces a non-porous, rock-hard finish that easily cleans up by hand or in the dishwasher. The lead-free glaze is resistant to crazing and staining and won't absorb food odors or flavors. --Cristina Vaamonde
