Casserole Dishes

Oven dishes are always in season! Not only in winter do casseroles, baked vegetables, pasta al forno, and gratins taste great. The lighter versions are also popular in the warmer months.

The preparation method in the oven is particularly practical when guests come over. Casseroles can be perfectly prepared in advance: just put the ingredients in the dish, then into the oven – and done!

To withstand the heat of an oven, special materials are required, as it can get quite hot behind the oven door. Anyone who has ever burned their fingers on an oven rack can painfully confirm this. To ensure your next oven dish becomes a culinary highlight, we have explored the world of casserole dishes and put together a fine selection for you.

We offer you various types of casserole dishes: dishes made of hard porcelain, ceramic, enamel, and cast iron. These materials have high thermal conductivity, allowing the heat to be optimally transferred. The difference usually lies in heat retention. A very good third place goes to enamel, which heats up quickly but cools down a bit faster compared to the other materials. Ceramic and hard porcelain share second place. Unchallenged in first place is cast iron. With a casserole in a cast iron dish, you could run around the house once and still bring it to the table hot...

Frequently Asked Questions about Casserole Dishes

What materials are used for casserole dishes?

Casserole dishes are often made from glass, ceramic, cast iron, or metal. Each material has its own advantages: glass allows a good view of the cooking process, ceramic retains heat effectively, cast iron holds heat particularly well, and metal conducts heat quickly and evenly.

How do I properly clean a casserole dish?

Most casserole dishes are dishwasher safe. For stubborn residues, soaking the dish can help. Cast iron dishes should be cleaned by hand and regularly oiled to prevent rusting.

What size should my casserole dish be?

The ideal size depends on the number of servings. A smaller dish is sufficient for two people, while larger models are better suited for families. Make sure the dish fits in your oven.

Can I put a casserole dish directly from the fridge into the oven?

Caution! Rapid temperature changes can damage glass or ceramic dishes. It's best to let the dish come to room temperature before placing it in the hot oven.

Which dish is best for lasagna?

Rectangular casserole dishes are ideal for lasagna as they facilitate layering the pasta sheets and allow for even cooking.

How do I prevent my casserole from overflowing?

Use a sufficiently large and deep casserole dish, especially for dishes with a lot of sauce or layered ingredients, to prevent overflowing.
