Stoneware Oven Dishes

• Ceramic: Ceramics include both stoneware and porcelain, and this type of dish is usually very stable. Ceramic dishes do not heat up very quickly, but once they are heated they have good heat distribution and keep the heat very well.

• Stainless steel: With a stainless steel oven dish, you get good heat distribution throughout. The material is durable and easy to clean.

• Aluminium: If you are looking for a lighter oven dish, aluminium is a good choice. The material heats up very quickly, and one of its strengths is that most aluminium dishes can be used both in the oven and freezer.

• Glass: Glass oven dishes are often the cheapest option, and glass is a material that is good at distributing and retaining heat. One disadvantage is that it is sensitive to temperature shock, so it is important that you keep an eye on how of a temperature it can withstand.

• Cast iron: If you’re looking for an oven dish to use for generations, cast iron is the way to go. It is a strong and durable material that is insensitive to temperature shock. The only negative thing about cast iron dishes is that they are heavy and need to be maintained to last a long time.

The heat resistance of the oven dish depends on the material used, but it also differs between different dishes made from the same material. Therefore, the dish may not withstand high heat just because it is made of a heat-resistant material. Be sure to read the dish's specifications before using high temperatures, otherwise you risk destroying it.
