The bird's hollow center vents steam to minimize leaks in the top crust while its arched base helps release moisture from the bottom crust for thorough baking and a flaky finish.</p> <ul> <li>Hollow center vents steam to help prevent filling from leaking.</li> <li>Arches in base redirect excess moisture from bottom crust for thorough bake.</li> <li>Crafted of durable glazed ceramic.</li> <li>Nonreactive, nonporous glaze is resistant to chips, scratches and stains.</li> <li>Oven, broiler, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.</li> </ul>
