Is the striped pattern durable?

Can I use it for chilling or freezing food?

Troubleshooting
Dish develops small cracks or crazing on the glaze.
This is often a cosmetic issue known as crazing, caused by temperature fluctuations. It does not typically affect the dish's functionality, but inspect for deeper cracks before use. Ensure you follow care instructions to minimize thermal shock.
Food sticks to the bottom of the dish.
Ensure adequate cooking fat (oil or butter) is used. For dishes prone to sticking (like baked goods), consider lightly greasing and flouring the dish before adding ingredients. Soaking the dish after use can help remove residue.
Dish feels excessively heavy.
This is a characteristic of solid stoneware. Handle with care, especially when hot, to prevent dropping. Ensure your oven racks can support the weight.
