Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This traditional soufflé dish is ideally shaped to help stiff, beaten egg whites folded with cheesy sauce rise to the loftiest heights and color to a handsome gold. This deeper dish has straight 2-1/4-inch sides that puff the soufflé directly upward and ensure that the top is lightly browned. Thin, even walls on the sides of the dish provide magnificent heat conduction for the perfect firm-yet-moist consistency and enable the dish to retain its heat at the table. An exquisite specimen of fine French pottery, this soufflé dish is a milky white color with a gorgeous pleated exterior that makes it an attractive serving vessel that goes from oven to table. With a 4-inch diameter and a capacity of 1-1/2 cups, this dish bakes and serves an individual soufflé and can also double as a baker for single servings of custard or a bowl for serving olives, chocolates, or other small snacks.
Family-founded in 1818, the Pillivuyt porcelain factory still employs skilled artisans who use the company's proprietary porcelain recipe and the original time-honored traditions of handcrafting each piece. Replacement molds are all handmade by craftspeople who have spent many years in training, and who shape them to the level of perfection that this superior bakeware requires. The result is a tough porcelain base that can withstand temperature extremes, making this baker safe to move among the oven, freezer, microwave, or broiler. And, with a little liquid in the baker, the pan can even be placed over a diffused flame on the stovetop. All pieces are glazed and fired at temperatures of about 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, which produces a non-porous, rock-hard finish that easily cleans up by hand or in the dishwasher. The lead-free glaze is resistant to crazing and staining and won't absorb food odors or flavors. --Cristina Vaamonde
Product Description
Pillivuyt deep classic souffles are exceptionally well-constructed with thin, even walls that allow for quick and even heat distribution. Because of their excellent cooking properties, these are multi-purpose dishes for everything from desserts to savory baked vegetable dishes and crusty pot pies. Creating a successful souffle requires efficient heat conduction and straight, smooth walls which allow the souffle to rise easily upward for maximum volume and lightness. Pillivuyt's fine impermeable glaze ensures a smooth ride to the top and also makes the dishes extremely easy to clean and maintain their original beauty. The classic pleats and the brilliance of Pillivuyt's glaze make these dishes attractive enough for the elegant table and the variety of sizes accommodates all types of presentations at the table, from tidbits to salads to casseroles. The smallest deep souffle is 4 inches in diameter and 2 1/4 inches deep. The capacity is 1 1/2 cups, making it the perfect size for individual desserts, including custards, gelatins, and mousse. It can also be useful in food preparation for holding pre-measured ingredients or as a presentation dish for tidbits like olives or nuts.

Pillivuyt 4-inch pleated souffles,
By mr-peabody (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pillivuyt Porcelain 1-1/2-Cup, 4-Inch Deep Classic Pleated Souffle Dish (Kitchen)
The 4-inch diameter Pillivuyt souffle dishes are perfect for individual savory or dessert souffles, but they have many other uses as well, from mise en place in the kitchen to holding grated cheese or condiments on the table. Pillivuyt quality is very high -- you can tell at a glance that these are not cheaply made.
Note that there are two 4-inch diameter Pillivuyt pleated souffles, but at present the Amazon descriptions do not accurately distinguish them. The "deep classic" souffle is 2.5 inches high and holds 1.5 cups (12 oz), whereas the "classic" souffle is 2 inches deep and holds 1.25 cups (10 oz). Here is a tip that you may find useful: the dark blue plastic lids from 12 oz (and 12.5 oz) canisters of Planters peanuts fit both of these 4-inch diameter) souffles perfectly.
