Yup, you can bake in it! Then, when you are done, put it in the dishwasher. This Stellar Rust and Floating Blue casserole is great for baking in, the ceramic finish is almost like a non-stick. If you have baked-on cheese or beans, or what ever, just let it soak a few minutes in warm water and it will come out easily. Thermal shock is always a consideration when using any ceramics, so, if you store food in it in the fridge or freezer, be sure to warm it to room temperature before placing it in the oven. It measures approximately 9x2.5".
