the.com/casserole dish
A ceramic time machine that turns leftovers into something your grandmother would defend in court.
means A deep, oven-safe dish, usually ceramic or glass, used for baking and serving layered or one-pot meals.
from From the French "casserole," meaning a stew-pan or saucepan, which itself grew from "casse," an old word for a ladle or small pan — possibly tracing back through Provençal "cassa" to the Late Latin "cattia," a ladle or vessel. The word arrived in English in the 18th century, first naming the pan and only later the food cooked inside it, so that today "a casserole" can mean both the dish and the dinner it holds.
