What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: dimensions are given as 6.81 x 3.74 x 3.15 inches while the highlight calls the dish 13.5 in, and care instructions say hand wash only while feature copy says the pan and lid are dishwasher safe. Confirm the selected listing details and care directions before use. The listing also calls it a buffet server but gives no complete warming setup details.
