FAQs
What is the capacity of this rectangular dish?

Can I use this dish on the stovetop?
No, this stoneware dish is not designed for stovetop use. It is safe for oven, microwave, and freezer use.
How should I clean stubborn stains?
For stubborn stains, soak the dish in warm, soapy water. You can also use a paste of baking soda and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the enamel.
What is the warranty period for this product?
This Le Creuset stoneware dish comes with a 10-year Le Creuset guarantee.
Is the 'Nectar' color a bright yellow or orange?
The 'Nectar' color is a warm, vibrant golden yellow, reminiscent of honey or ripe apricots.
What are the external dimensions of the dish?
The external dimensions are approximately 32.7cm (L) x 20.3cm (W) x 8.9cm (H).
Can I put this dish in a hot oven directly from the freezer?
While the stoneware is freezer safe, it's best to avoid extreme temperature shock. Allow the dish to come to room temperature slightly before placing it in a preheated oven.
Troubleshooting
Dish has minor chips or scratches.
Small chips or scratches on the enamel, particularly on the edges, can occur with normal use. Ensure these are not excessively deep. The structural integrity of the stoneware is generally maintained unless the chip is very significant. Continue to use, but be mindful of sharp edges.
Food is sticking to the bottom.
Ensure the dish is adequately preheated with oil or cooking spray before adding food. For certain recipes, a brief pre-soak after cooking can help loosen residues. The non-stick properties are enhanced with proper use and care.
Dish is difficult to clean after baking.
Soak the dish in warm, soapy water for 15-30 minutes before attempting to wash. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the enamel. For baked-on food, a paste of baking soda and water can sometimes help lift residue.
Uneven cooking results.
Ensure the oven temperature is accurate and the dish is placed in the center of the oven rack. Stoneware distributes heat evenly, so uneven cooking is more likely due to oven performance than the dish itself.
