Make a hearty casserole or stew using this handled casserole dish by Sophie Conran for Portmeirion. Crafted from resilient porcelain, it's suitable for use in the oven and for freezer storage. With a polished finish and delicate ripple design, it also makes an elegant centrepiece for any table setting. When using under the grill, always allow a distance of at least 6 cm (2.5 inches) between the dish and the grill. Ensure the dish is allowed to defrost fully to room temperature before placing in a preheated oven. Do not use on the hob, or other direct heat sources.
