This rectangular baking dish
may be one of the most useful
ceramic pieces I made.
It just fits in our toaster oven,
and there's no need to heat up
the whole oven for browning.
"Sliced pork (submerged in boiling
water briefly) and eggplant (grilled,
peeled and split) Bainiku Ae (literally,
harmonized, or dressed with pickled
plum paste)"
When I choose a pumpkin (15cm d.)
at the farmers' market,
I always look at the bottom of
the pumpkin at the ring.
They say the bigger the ring
the sweeter the pumpkin is.
