Multifunctional cookware is essential these days. We're huge fans of oven to dinner table cookware for several reasons. So, you must understand that we get extremely excited when we find really great oven to table cookware like this.
The reasons why we're huge fans of oven to table cookware are: storage, portability and convenience. Many of us are downsizing (or just buying more and more appliances that take up a lot of room) so storage is a huge issue. When we use cookware like the Menu & Christian Bjorn's Stackable Oven-To-Table Cookware it saves room in our cabinets because there's no need to have both serving dishes and baking dishes. These dishes are also portable because they look so darn good. There's no need to be embarrassed of your bakeware, so it's easy to just stack 'em up and cover with tin foil and get on the road!
The cookware is made from porcelain with heat-resistant silicone feet to help protect sensitive surfaces. An interesting perk — to keep the food warm, place tea lights in a dish below the serving dish! The set comes in three sizes: small, medium and large — ranging in price from $49.00-$118.00.

That looks a lot like airplane food trays- it's a nifty idea, but I'll pass.
How easy is it to remove from a hot oven while you are wearing oven mitts?
Great idea for small kitchens! I wonder if food still browns?
Regular casserole dishes require serving dishes??? Isn't that what pot holders and trivets are for? Apparently, my mother and my grandmothers have been doing it wrong for years!
@verily There's certainly no "wrong" or "right" way to serve oven baked food. We're simply suggesting this product (or a simliar) product for those who don't fancy placing their "regular casserole dishes" on the table.
so...they "stack". Not "nest". As in, they will take up more space than a set of cookware in graduated sizes...also, love that the guy in the pic has asbestos hands, ergo no need for potholders. I'm with Kealoha: pass.
They look nice enough, and the notion of being able to stack them in the actual oven is interesting, even though I doubt it would be that useful in application. But seriously, $118 for basically a large casserole?
I don't think they're actually intended to be stacked in the oven. It's just clever marketing to capture your eye. I guess you could stack some in an oven if you really needed to...
These "oven to table casseroles" are far less "visually appealing" than my "regular casseroles". Without the swanky silicone bottoms, they do look like airline trays. Le Creuset's casseroles are all oven to table to freezer to cabinet and colorful to boot. My own "regular casseroles" are pretty vintage Pyrex and Glasbake dishes.
I guess they are designed to be stacked in the oven, too. That would take some advance planning.
