Baking Dishes – Baking with Polish Pottery

When it comes to oven cooking, Polish pottery baking dishes from Ceramika Artystyczna offer the perfect blend of functionality and elegance.

These handcrafted baking dishes are:

• Oven-safe and heat-resistant

• Available in various sizes and shapes

• Suitable for baking, roasting, gratins, and direct serving

Their rectangular designs are particularly useful for:

• Marinated meats baked directly in the oven

• Roasted vegetables or casseroles

• Bringing the meal straight from oven to table

 Baking in Ceramic – Key Considerations:

1. Always preheat the oven!
   Ceramic must go into a hot oven to avoid thermal shock. Preheat to 180–220 °C.

2. To cover or not to cover?
   – Uncovered for browning and crisp textures
   – Covered (with foil or lid) for juicy, slow-roasted results
    Tip: Start covered, then uncover for the last 15–30 minutes.

3. With or without vegetables?
   – With vegetables: creates flavor depth and natural juices
   – Without: ideal for pure meat flavor

4. Deglazing – Yes or No?
   – Yes, if you want to make a sauce (add wine, broth, or water)
   – No, if you’re aiming for dry roasted, crispy edges

 Recipe: Roasted Vegetables for Sauce Base

Ingredients (for ~1 kg of meat):

To make the sauce:
