Amazon.com Review:
In addition to its famous bowls and serving platters, Nambé makes bakeware out of its gleaming, hand-polished metal alloy. An oblong take on Nambé's larger, round casserole dish, this deep two-quart baker is one of the two sizes of Nambé cookware with a lid. Amazingly durable, both the casserole and the lid (which can be used by itself as a shallow baking or serving dish) are safe for use in the oven, under the broiler, on a stovetop burner, and in the freezer, so that a casserole or dessert can be baked ahead of time, frozen, reheated, and served directly at the table. The thick metal retains heat (or cold) exceptionally well, and will not crack, chip, or tarnish. Like all Nambé metalware, the casserole is not safe for microwave- or dishwasher-use. Square and rectangular baking dishes are also available. Nambé was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico. From the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional items such as metal bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design. Still made in the USA, Nambé's signature metal alloy is liquified, poured into a hand-made sand cast, and the resulting piece repeatedly polished and smoothed by hand. Exceptional gifts for the most special of occasions, Nambé metal bowls and accessories are now joined by porcelain and crystal pieces, each flawlessly crafted. Nambé ware has won numerous design awards, has been shown in or recognized by nearly two dozen museums worldwide, and is part of the permanent collections of many prestigious institutions. --Ann Bieri
