What is the capacity of this gratin dish?

Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the surface
Ensure the dish was sufficiently preheated and lightly oiled before adding ingredients. For stubborn residue, soak the dish in warm soapy water for 15 minutes before gently scrubbing.
The enamel coating shows minor scratching
Avoid using metal utensils. Switch to silicone or wooden tools to prevent further surface damage.
