Made for Cooking and Serving

The Barbary & Oak collection includes round and square dishes suited to individual portions, side dishes and smaller recipes, as well as larger rectangular designs for family favourites. 

Discover Stoneware Baking Dishes 

Versatile stoneware baking dishes are perfect for pasta bakes, gratins, roasted vegetables, desserts and other oven-cooked favourites. 

Barbary & Oak Nattura baking dishes are crafted from durable stoneware and feature smooth glazed interiors for easy food release and cleaning. The dishes distribute and retain heat effectively, helping food cook evenly and remain warm while it is served.  

The Nattura round baking dishes and square baking dishes are oven-safe up to 240°C and suitable for the microwave and dishwasher. Always check the individual product information before use. 

Cast Iron Roasters for Family Favourites 

A cast iron roaster is ideal for larger dishes that benefit from reliable heat retention, including roast dinners, lasagnes, fish pies and roasted vegetables. Cast iron also helps food stay warmer for longer when brought to the table. 

The Foundry cast iron roaster features an enamel interior designed to help prevent food from sticking while resisting the absorption of flavours and odours. 

How to Choose the Right Oven Dish 

Think about the recipes you prepare most often, the number of people you usually serve and whether you prefer individual portions or a larger sharing dish. 

• Round baking dishes work beautifully for gratins, baked desserts, side dishes and individual portions.  

• Square baking dishes provide useful space for layered recipes, traybakes and neatly portioned servings.  

• Rectangular baking dishes are ideal for lasagnes, pasta bakes, crumbles and family-sized meals. 

• Cast iron roasters offer excellent heat retention for roasting, searing and substantial sharing dishes.  

Always check the dimensions, capacity and maximum oven temperature before making your choice. 

Style Worth Bringing to the Table 

Influenced by Stoke-on-Trent’s rich ceramic heritage, Barbary & Oak brings a design-led perspective to everyday cooking. Timeless silhouettes, tactile materials and distinctive colours transform practical oven dishes into pieces you will be proud to place at the heart of the table. 

Whether you are serving a relaxed midweek meal or entertaining friends, our oven to tableware helps make every recipe look as inviting as it tastes. 

Oven to Tableware FAQs 

What is oven to tableware? 

Oven to tableware is heat-resistant cookware designed for cooking and serving. Once the food is ready, the dish can be taken from the oven and placed on a suitable heat-resistant surface at the table, removing the need for separate serveware. 

What can I cook in an oven-to-table dish? 

Depending on its shape and material, an oven-to-table dish can be used for lasagnes, pasta bakes, gratins, roasted vegetables, pies, crumbles, traybakes and individual side dishes. Always follow the temperature and appliance guidance provided with the product. 

What size baking dish should I choose? 

Small baking dishes are useful for individual portions, desserts and side dishes. A large rectangular dish is better suited to family-sized lasagnes, pasta bakes and sharing meals. Check the product’s stated dimensions against your usual recipes and portion sizes. 

What is the best shape of baking dish for lasagne? 

A rectangular baking dish is usually the most practical choice for lasagne because its straight sides and generous cooking area accommodate pasta sheets and even layers. Barbary & Oak’s current collection includes a 38cm rectangular Nattura stoneware dish designed for lasagnes, traybakes and family-sized recipes. 

What is the difference between stoneware and cast iron oven dishes? 

Stoneware baking dishes are versatile choices for baking, roasting and serving. Cast iron is heavier and offers excellent heat retention, making it useful for roasting, searing and keeping food warm at the table. Appliance compatibility and care requirements differ.

Are Barbary & Oak oven dishes dishwasher safe? 

Selected Nattura stoneware dishes are dishwasher safe. The Foundry cast iron roaster should be washed by hand to help preserve its finish. Care requirements vary between materials, so always follow the instructions supplied with the product. 

Can oven-to-table dishes be used on the hob? 

Only dishes specifically described as hob-compatible should be placed on a hob. The Foundry cast iron roaster is suitable for all hob types, including induction, while stoneware baking dishes should not be used on a hob unless the product instructions expressly permit it.
