The Pioneer Woman 6-Piece Baking Dish Set from Walmart is my secret for getting meals on the table without having to wash extra dishes. The three stoneware dishes (in different sizes) each come with a fitted lid so they double as containers. I’ve baked lasagna in one, let it cool, served it at the table, then sealed it with the lid to store leftovers and even carried it as a lunchbox. One dish does it all, which means fewer dishes waiting in the sink.
These dishes stack neatly for storage, so they’re compact—a huge plus for small kitchens like mine—and if you have more space, you’ll find yourself buying multiple sets because they are great for meal prep, since they line up easily in the fridge.
The dishes have an ivory glaze with a delicate vintage lace print along the sides, giving them a farmhouse-meets-retro aesthetic that feels timeless and on-brand with Pioneer Woman. The neutral color works well in just about any kitchen.

My Favorite Things About This Dish Set
Since the dishes are made from stoneware, they’re dishwasher, microwave, and oven-safe up to 450°F. (Walmart’s website states 350°F, but the product box says 450°F, which is correct.) That means you can bake a casserole in the dish, then later reheat leftovers in the microwave in the same dish.
Even better news? Unlike traditional casserole dishes, this one will fit in your microwave. The lids are top-rack dishwasher and microwave-safe, though not oven-safe—unsurprising since they’re plastic.
The set comes in three sizes: 2.1-quart, one-quart, and 12.8-ounce. Of the three sizes, the medium dish quickly became my favorite. It’s perfect for a hearty salad topped with chicken and vegetables, sturdy enough to feel reliable, but light enough to carry as a lunch box.

The small dish works well for snacks, while the large dish is heavier but ideal for family-style portions or meal prep for two. Unlike traditional baking dishes, these don’t have handles, so you’ll want to use extra caution when removing them from the oven. The lack of handles also means fewer fragile parts that could chip or break during transport.
Whether I’m cooking, packing lunches, or meal prepping, I find myself reaching for this dish set over and over again. I think you’ll love them, too.
