Love using this large boat baker!
I've used this beautiful baker to roast huge amounts of vegetables in the oven. I've also baked fish fillets covered with vegetables and sauce. It roasted both dishes quickly and evenly. The baker has a really good weight on it. I find the shape to be interesting, not necessarily an advantage or disadvantage, and it's also quite deep. It also has grooves on either end that can function as pouring spouts. I do like the smooth glossy glazed finish, making it easier to clean. I will use it to roast meats as well, as it's a really large roaster. It's also made in France, is lead and cadmium free and compares well to Pillivuyt, Revol, and Apilco (which I think Appolia may be a subsidiary of, not sure though) bakeware. I roasted at 425 degrees and it didn't crack or craze so I would recommend this product.

I can't believe I got this baker for this price. I have a couple of Appolia pieces and they are wonderful. Lovely on the table, but also perfect for baking and roasting.
Love this- and it's well packed
I love all the appolia line. I own many shapes and sizes. This is one of the largest- read the dimensions carefully, as it really is as big as it says it is, and it's heavy. If you have arthritis, or cannot lift heavy pans- you might want a smaller baker. When this is full, it's quite heavy.
Be aware that there are many sellers for these products. Some pack really well, using peanuts- and then the items usually get to you in one piece. Other sellers pack very badly- and you'll get the item in pieces. Amazon is very good about returning your money, but it is a hassle.
I've been using my Appolia for years, and it's never crazed or cracked. I wash it in the dishwasher. Save for the time when I whacked a handle in to a granite counter, it's never broken, either. It's tough for ceramic- but not as touch as granite, obviously. I like to use the boat baker with the fish bakers. They come in the same colors, and it's quite festive. Also, if you do fourth of...
