casserole dishes

Deep baking pans

Casserole dishes are deep, oven-safe containers used for baking casseroles—one-dish meals where ingredients cook together.

Typically ceramic, glass, or enameled cast iron, they're designed to go from oven to table.

The term also refers to the food itself: She brought one of her casserole dishes to the potluck.

The ambiguity rarely causes confusion in context.
