As a result of this process, you may see a blister or bubble of oil at the southern-most point or at the end of the handle of the cookware piece. If visible, it will rub or flake off with your finger, leaving a brown spot. Don’t worry, it’s not rust but a seasoned spot that is brown, indicative of the varnish stage of seasoning. As a matter of fact, this is the color of home seasoned iron until it has been used several times. The brown spot will turn black with use.
Pillivuyt Porcelain 1-Cup, 4-1/2-Inch Sancerre-Style Gratin Dish is best for youProduct Description Pillivuyt's Sancerre line is a classically simple and clean design that focuses on the appealing lines of rounded shapes. The Sancerre gratin dishes incorporate that simple idea with all the expected features of French gratin dishes - even, efficient heat distribution and more wide than deep to expose more of the surface of the ingredients for browning and crisping more of the contents. These dishes have no sharp inner corners or edges that can catch and hold food, so they are extremely easy to clean. The impermeable glaze also ensures that baked-on food will come off with minimal effort. As with all Pillivuyt dishes, these gratins are dishwasher, freezer, microwave, and oven safe - even under the broiler. They will not discolor, stain, or retain odors or flavors and the glaze is guaranteed not to craze. The small Sancerre gratin has a 1-cup capacity and is 4 1/2 inches in diameter, 1 3/4 inches deep. This is the perfect size for many types of individual desserts - baked or chilled. It is also a great utility dish for food preparation or presenting condiments at the table. Amazon.com This round dish has shallow, flared sides that focus most of the oven's heat onto the larger surface area and is characterized as a gratin dish by these telltale features. However, this petite 4-1/2-inch-diameter dish is probably better suited for individual dessert soufflés or 1-cup servings of pudding and can even be used as a little mis en place bowl. The thin even walls on this dish provide the ideal heat conduction for a superbly executed recipe and enable the dish to retain its temperature (either hot or cold) at the table. An exquisite specimen of fine French pottery, this porcelain baking dish is a milky white color and has the rounded lines and flared lip that comprise the style of the Sancerre collection. Family-founded in 1818, the Pillivuyt porcelain factory still employs skilled artisans who use the proprietary porcelain recipe and the original time-honored traditions of handcrafting each piece. Replacement molds are all handmade by craftspeople who have spent many years in training, and who shape them to the level of perfection that this superior bakeware requires. The result is a tough porcelain base that can withstand temperature extremes, making this baker safe to move among the oven, freezer, microwave, or broiler. And, with a little liquid in the baker, the pan can even be placed over a diffused flame on the stovetop. All pieces are glazed and fired at temperatures of about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, which produces a non-porous, rock-hard finish that easily cleans up by hand or in the dishwasher. The lead-free glaze is resistant to crazing and staining and won't absorb food odors or flavors. --Cristina Vaamonde
