In addition to its famous bowls and serving platters, Nambé makes bakeware out of its gleaming, hand-polished metal alloy. In fact, this square casserole dish was introduced in 1967 and has been a best-seller ever since. The corners are gently rounded and the generous rim handles flare to offset points at each end for a contemporary look that never goes out of style. Amazingly durable, the dish is safe for use in the oven, under the broiler, on a stovetop burner, and in the freezer, so that a casserole or dessert can be made ahead of time, frozen, reheated, and served directly at the table. The thick metal retains heat (or cold) exceptionally well, and will not crack, chip, or tarnish. Like all Nambé metalware, the casserole is not safe for microwave or dishwasher-use. Rectangular, round, and lidded round casseroles are also available.
Nambé was founded in 1951 in a village of the same name in scenic northern New Mexico. From the beginning, the company focused on hand-producing high-quality, functional items such as metal bowls and trays with great attention to timeless, modern design. Still made in the USA, Nambé's signature metal alloy is liquified, poured into a hand-made sand cast, and the resulting piece repeatedly polished and smoothed by hand. Exceptional gifts for the most special of occasions, Nambé metal bowls and accessories are now joined by porcelain and crystal pieces, each flawlessly crafted. Nambé ware has won numerous design awards, has been shown in or recognized by nearly two dozen museums worldwide, and is part of the permanent collections of many prestigious institutions. --Ann Bieri
