      Food Safety: How to Prepare and Store Casseroles

      Casseroles are preferred by many due to the fact that they are tasty, affordable, and easy to serve to crowds. For these dishes, proper cookware selection during preparation and serving is very instrumental in ensuring food safety. Among the porcelain casserole dishes that assure the home cook of safety, not to mention great style, are those offered by MALACASA. Their non-porous, non-reactive porcelain keeps harmful chemicals out of your food and is tough against scratches and chips where bacteria might hide. 

      When preparing casseroles in porcelain dishes, it's important to:

      1. Avoid sudden temperature changes with your porcelain dishes to prevent cracking or breaking.
      2. Clean your porcelain with gentle, non-abrasive cleaners to avoid scratching the surface.
      3. Always preheat your oven before placing the porcelain dish inside to ensure even cooking and to protect the dish.
      4. After baking, let the porcelain cool gradually at room temperature to maintain its durability.

      For storing casseroles effectively:

      1. Allow the casserole to cool down a bit before placing it in the refrigerator to prevent moisture buildup.
      2. Cover the porcelain dish tightly with a lid, cling film, or foil to keep the food fresh and avoid absorbing fridge odors.
      3. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours to reduce the risk of bacterial growth.
      4. When reheating, warm your casserole evenly; if using an oven, start with a cold oven and then turn it on to reheat the dish safely.

      When cooking and keeping casseroles, it's important to ensure they're safe for everyone to eat. Choosing good cookware, like MALACASA's porcelain dishes, helps a lot. With so many people getting sick from food every year, paying attention to these details can really make a difference. 

      How to Choose the Right Casserole Size for Your Event 

      Making sure everyone has enough casserole without wasting any is easy if you know how much to serve. Follow these tips to get the portion size just right for your guests:

      1. Generally, 1 cup (8oz) per person is a good measure if the casserole is your main dish. If it's playing a supporting role as a side, then half that amount, or 1/2 cup (4oz), should suffice.
      2. If your casserole is particularly hearty or you know your guests have larger appetites, bump up the serving sizes a bit.
      3. Your porcelain casserole dish size matters. A 3.4-quart (or 3.2L) MALACASA dish typically fits 6 main course servings or 8 to 10 side servings. If you need more, a 4.4-quart (or 4.2L) dish can serve 8 to 10 as a main course or 12 to 14 as a side.
      4. Take into account the number of dishes being served. If your casserole is among many options, plan portions accordingly so guests can enjoy a little of everything.
