Line Toscana

The oval and rectangular baking dishes of the Toscana series are designed for professional and demanding use in gastronomy and stand out for a number of key features that distinguish them significantly from "ordinary" oven dishes.

The material is genuine feldspar porcelain, which, with purely mineral additives, achieves higher thermal stability. This makes the oven dishes more stable in their temperature resistance and conductivity than conventional ceramic cookware. Due to the purely mineral additives, Toscana is also particularly suitable for vegan cuisine and for people with allergies.

The wall thicknesses of the oven dishes are reinforced and especially suitable for long-term use in pizza ovens, wood-fired ovens, and gas ovens. This stability of genuine hard porcelain also ensures a high level of thermal stability, keeping food warm longer than any other bowls or dishes.

The edge of the baking dishes is designed with a wave relief, which enhances the crust formation when serving oven dishes at the table or on buffets. The side walls of the Toscana series oven porcelain feature the typical flame relief as a seal of quality for homemade oven dishes. Especially in Mediterranean gastronomy, primarily in Italian restaurants, this symbol is a sign of genuine "Al Forno" quality for guests.

The bottoms of the baking dishes are smooth and flat, ensuring even heat distribution and a secure stand in the oven. In buffet hot holding, front cooking, and self-service areas, the flat bottom provides a lasting holding temperature for the dishes, meaning the food stays warm longer.

Thus, the Toscana ovenware from Holst Porzellan fulfills all the properties a professional baking dish must have. This not only ensures long-lasting use but also a perfect cooking result.

The Toscana series consists of four rectangular lasagna dishes and six oval gratin dishes. Small portions of lasagna are served in the 19 cm or 22 cm individual baking dishes, and for groups and families, large gratins are prepared in the rectangular oven dishes in sizes 31 cm, 36 cm, or 40 cm. The oval baking dishes of 24 and 28 cm are well-suited for baked combination dishes or two people. For gratinated potatoes, baked vegetables, and especially for risottos served at the table, the 36 cm oval dish with its impressive 1.5-liter capacity is ideal.

Of course, we also recommend this ovenproof and microwave-safe porcelain to any hobby cook or private lover of good oven dishes. The Toscana gratin dishes have been a staple of the Holst Porzellan professional collection since 1998 and are among the best-rated gratin dishes in the gastronomy sector.
