I'm Joanie, and more than 100 of my One Dish Kitchen recipes are written for this 5x5 baking dish. When you bake in the same size, the portion, depth, and bake time come out the way I tested them.
It holds 22 ounces and sits 1¾ inches deep. That's deep enough for a mini lasagna, and small enough that a casserole for one doesn't spread thin. The wide handles are easy to grab with oven mitts. Readers tell me it fits in their toaster ovens, too.

Key features
- Sized for one: A 5x5-inch interior, 1¾ inches deep, holds 22 ounces. It's the size my 100+ single-serving recipes are written for.
- Wide handles, high sides: The ridged handles are wider than most small dishes, so you get a steady grip with oven mitts. High sides keep sauces in, and rounded corners make cleanup easy.
- Freezer to oven: It goes from the freezer straight into a preheated oven, so you can prep ahead and bake later.
- One dish, start to finish: Bake, serve, store, and reheat in the same dish. It's safe in the oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher.
- Oven safe to 500°F (260°C): That covers baking, roasting, and low broil.
- High-fired stoneware: Fired at 2,300°F (1,260°C) until fully vitrified, so it's dense and nonporous.
- Lab-tested for lead and cadmium: I have our dishes tested by an independent lab. Our latest test found no detectable lead or cadmium.

Common questions
What can I make in a 5x5 baking dish?
Single-serving casseroles, baked pasta, crustless quiche, meatloaf, cornbread, brownies, bars, and small cakes. Use it any time a recipe calls for a 5x5 baking pan. See all 100+ recipes.
Is this the dish your recipes use?
Yes. My 5-inch recipes are written for a 5x5 dish that holds about 22 ounces, and this is the one I bake them in.
Can it go straight from the freezer to the oven?
Yes, as long as the oven is fully preheated. It's rated from -4°F to 500°F (-20°C to 260°C).
Is it microwave and dishwasher safe?
Yes. It's safe in the microwave, and you can wash it on the top or bottom rack of the dishwasher.
Will it fit in my toaster oven?
It measures 7 x 5½ inches with the handles and stands 2 inches tall. Readers tell me they use it in their toaster ovens. Check the inside of yours before you buy.
Can I use it in an air fryer?
Yes, if it fits. It's oven safe to 500°F (260°C), and air fryers run cooler than that. Measure your basket first and leave a little space around the dish so the air can move. My recipes are written for a regular oven, so check yours a few minutes early.
Does it come with a lid?
No. Cover it with foil in the oven. In the fridge, plastic wrap or a small plate works.
How is it different from the 5x7 dish?
Same depth, more room. The 5x7 holds 33 ounces to this dish's 22. Use whichever size your recipe calls for. See the 5x7 dish.
