One thing I have learned is that not all ceramic bakeware is created equal. Depending on the purity of the clay and the quality of the manufacturing, you can get different results. Staub ceramic-ware cooks with consistency and cleans up nicely.

I can cook a whole meal using just these three baking dishes. And its pretty convenient. Covered baker roasts chicken thighs, the gratin cooks scalloped potatoes and the rectangular dish covers dessert - brownies, crumbles.

So simple and so pretty.
