A dish that keeps food hot for half an hour after leaving the oven is a dish you can carry to the table before everyone has sat down, which is a different way of running a meal from plating at the last second. It also means the base stays hot longer than you expect, so it wants a trivet rather than a bare wooden table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHandles and Nesting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide ridged handles are the part you notice on the second use rather than the first. A flat-sided dish has to be gripped by the rim through a cloth; a ridged handle gives a gloved hand somewhere positive to hold, which matters most when the dish is full and heavy. The range is also built in graduated sizes that nest, so a second Appolia dish sits inside this one rather than beside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTemperature, Cleaning and Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow hot can the dish go?\u003c\/strong\u003e The maker rates it to 250 degrees Celsius, around 480 Fahrenheit, and down to minus 20 for the freezer.

Decoration in the base of a serving vessel is invisible the moment food goes in. A ring at the lip stays in view for the whole course and gives the eye an edge to read the portion against, which is why the blue is concentrated where it is rather than spread across the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePortion Size at 6.9 Inches\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix and nine tenths of an inch is an individual portion rather than a shared one.
