This is a great gift for any occasion! This is a great baker to make casseroles and desserts in. With it being ceramic, it heats up really well and retains the heat for perfect even cooking. The piece is very versatile and that it can go in the oven to fridge to dishwasher, a super convenient piece to have in a kitchen. The turquoise is a nice rustic aesthetic, not overly vibrant but brings a nice pop of color on any table.
