FAQs

What is the capacity of the fish baker?

The baker is generously sized to accommodate up to a 2-pound whole fish.

Can I use metal utensils with this dish?

Yes, the smooth interior enamel is durable and safe for use with metal utensils.

How do I clean the fish baker?

While dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended to maintain the glaze and gold knob's appearance.

What is the temperature range for this stoneware?

The stoneware is safe for temperatures ranging from -9°F to 500°F (-23°C to 260°C).

Can I use this dish for things other than fish?

Yes, it is suitable for roasting and steaming vegetables, meats, and preparing one-dish meals.

Is the gold knob safe for oven use?

Yes, the entire dish, including the lid and gold knob, is oven safe up to 500°F.

What does the raised ridged surface do?

The ridges elevate the food, allowing for air circulation and even cooking, promoting uniform browning and preventing the food from sitting in its own moisture.

Troubleshooting

Dish appears to be sticking.

Ensure adequate cooking fat (oil or butter) is used, and preheat the dish if the recipe calls for it. The non-stick enamel should prevent significant sticking.

Stains on the interior.

Use a baking soda and water paste to gently lift stains. Ensure thorough rinsing after cleaning.

Chipping or cracking.

Avoid dropping the dish or exposing it to sudden, extreme temperature changes. Check for pre-existing damage before use.

Gold knob tarnishing.

Hand wash the lid and knob gently. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners on the gold finish. Dry immediately after washing.
