Best Bakeware from Top Stores

Updated October 11, 2026

Compare the best bakeware from top stores in one place.

Bakeware in this set spans $48 to $148. All items are from Hawkins New York and come in terracotta, ceramic-like finishes such as Sky, Bone, Light Grey, Peacock, Blush, Olive and Mustard.

Terracotta and ceramic bakeware retain heat evenly, which is ideal for brownies, casseroles and roasted vegetables. Look for a smooth glaze that resists staining and makes cleaning easier.

Check the dimensions to match your recipe; an 8 × 8 inch pan is great for bars, while a 9 × 13 inch pan suits sheet cakes or lasagnas. Bundles offer a cost-effective way to cover multiple sizes.

When buying, verify that the pieces are oven-safe to at least 450 °F and that the handles stay cool enough to grip safely.

Questions

Can I use terracotta bakeware on a stovetop?

No, terracotta is meant for oven use only; use a pan on the stove instead.

Do I need to oil a glazed ceramic pan before baking?

A light coating of oil helps prevent sticking, especially for high-sugar recipes.

Is it safe to put these pans in the dishwasher?

Most glazed ceramic pieces are dishwasher safe, but hand washing can extend their life.

How do I prevent cracking in terracotta dishes?

Avoid sudden temperature changes and preheat the oven before placing the dish inside.
