Yanco SD-6 Accessories Chinaware 6" Shell Dish, Bright White — Case of 36 (3 dz)

Six inches long, five and a half wide and a true inch and a half deep, so the five ounce rating is earned honestly rather than measured to the brim. This is the working size of the shell family: a coquille Saint-Jacques portion, half a dozen escargots in garlic butter, a crab bake under breadcrumbs.

6 inch shell dish, 5 oz

Depth is what distinguishes this dish from the four inch shell. At an inch and a half it holds a sauce under a browned crust without the sauce bubbling out over the ribs in the oven, and the fan ribs give that crust something to catch on so it does not slide when the shell is set down. Thirty-six in a case. The body is vitrified through and glazed bright, cleared for the oven, the microwave and the wash, which is the whole cycle this shape runs in a shift.
