Description



With its thin, fluted edges, this 8-1/4-inch round tart dish with the ideal heat conduction for a nicely browned crust and firm center bakes and serves a smaller caramel flan or a light quiche. An exquisite specimen of fine French pottery, this porcelain baker is simple in appearance with its milky white color, smooth finish, and ridged sides yet durable due to its proprietary time-tested ingredients and quality construction. The tart dish's pristine beauty and excellent temperature retention (both hot and cold) make it a wonderful serving vessel that goes from oven or refrigerator to table. Family-founded in 1818, the Pillivuyt porcelain factory still employs skilled artisans who use 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

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Functional
Laura P.

I absolutely love this tart dish! It's beautiful enough to put out for display, and it bakes with perfectly even heat distribution. Every kind of crust comes out evenly golden and delicious, and releases easily from the pan when it's done. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who is interested in baking tarts. I haven't yet tried it for flan, but given how evenly it bakes my tarts I think it would be excellent for flans as well.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for what I need.

Awesome dish! Solid porcelain no cracks or flakes and holds heat great. Came faster than expected! Nothing to complain about.

I love this dish! I bought this one after having the 9 1/4" dish and wanted a smaller size as well. I use it mainly for quiche. Beautiful, excellent quality, and cleans up easily. I highly recommend Pillivuyt porcelain! It's beautifully glazed, and, unlike made in China stuff, you don't have to worry if there might be lead in it. Don't go for the cheap stuff, this will last a lifetime.
