souffle dish

Tall ceramic container

A souffle dish is a round, deep baking dish with straight sides, designed specifically for making soufflés.

The tall, unflared walls allow the delicate egg mixture to rise evenly and dramatically above the rim as it bakes: She buttered the souffle dish and dusted it with sugar.

Usually made of ceramic or porcelain, these dishes are also called ramekins when small.
