The “So Gorgeous” Baking Gem I Use for Absolutely Everything (I Love Showing It Off!)

Over the years, I’ve curated a pretty robust cookware collection. From my go-to under-the-radar frying pan (you can read more about that here) to my favorite Dutch oven, I’ve been lucky to find some pretty spectacular kitchen finds with a lot of help from both my fellow Kitchn staff members and you, dear readers. That being said, there has been one thing that has eluded me for years, and that’s the perfect bakeware set. 

Now, when I say “bakeware set,” I’m not talking about sheet pans and the like (I’ve already got a favorite one of those). No, I’m talking about ceramic bakeware. Something that can perfectly cook meals in the oven and then seamlessly transition to the dinner table with style and ease. I recently decided to finally make a concerted effort to find my dream set, and after searching far and wide, I found the perfect set that I can truly use for everything: Fortessa’s Nosse Svelte Stoneware 3-Piece Bakeware Set. 

If you’re anything like me, you want bakeware that performs as well as it looks. That’s what you’ll get with the Svelte 3-Piece Bakeware Set. Made in Portugal from locally sourced raw materials and recycled clay, this twice-fired vitrified stoneware set is designed to withstand rigorous daily use while still remaining a sight to behold. Each set comes with three pieces, so you have everything you need to tackle any size meal or dish: an 11.8-inch baker, a 9.8-inch baker, and a 7.8-inch baker. The best part? This bakeware is dishwasher-, microwave-, and, of course, oven-safe, up to 400°F. 

There are two main reasons I adore this set: 1. Its versatility and 2. Its design. Because this set comes with three different sizes, I have a range of options to choose from when cooking my meals. I love using the larger dish to cook things like baked chicken and dishes like lasagna or moussaka, while the smaller dishes are great for things like vegetable sides and even personal-sized desserts (the smallest dish is perfect for blueberry crumble.) 

As for the design, upon first glance I was obsessed. I opted for the Terracotta color and I can’t get enough of how gorgeous the glaze of this rustic stoneware is. In fact, I’ll even use these pieces as servingware when I’m not baking in them because I just love the way they look on my table. Top that off with the fact that they all perfectly nest within one another for easy storage and it’s hard not to fall for them — especially when you take into account how affordable they are, too. 

While it’s normally $100, you can pick up the Fortessa Nosse Svelte Stoneware 3-Piece Bakeware set today for $63.79 in your choice of Stone, Olive, or my personal favorite, Terracotta. If you want to get your hands on a set of solid stoneware that lasts, can be used in multiple ways, and won’t break the bank, I think you’ll love this pick just as much as I do. Just be sure you jump on this price while you can!
