Yanco BM-607CL Birmingham Melamine 7" x 1-1/2" Deep Dish With Handle 16 oz, Clay and Black — Case of 24 (2 dz)

Clay over black gives this handled deep dish an earthenware look that suits slow-cooked food: cassoulet, braised greens, a baked egg dish sent straight to the diner. Seven inches across and an inch and a half deep, it takes sixteen ounces, and the moulded lug means a server can set it down one-handed.

Clay-and-black finish

The clay interior reads warm under low light and hides turmeric, paprika and tomato shadow far better than a pale glaze would. Outside, the black wall and brushed texture keep the piece looking like fired stoneware while weighing a fraction of what stoneware weighs. Melamine does not belong in an oven, whatever the shape implies.
