Product Insights
Peugeot's Appolia Rectangular Ceramic Baking Dish, crafted in a French heritage factory since 1930, combines Renaissance-inspired design with mono-cuisson enameled stoneware fired at 1130°C, delivering independently tested durability and thermal shock resistance from freezer to oven without crazing or fading. At 80 CAD, it undercuts Le Creuset while offering a 10-year warranty (requiring proof of purchase and excluding misuse), vitreous enamel that withstands metal utensils and stains, and heat retention 40% longer than shallow dishes to lower oven temperature 10–15°C. Molded handles with ribbed grips and silicone sleeves ensure secure handling, and all four sizes nest for compact storage, though broiler use is not recommended.
