Omega Houseware Majestic oval ceramic bakedish review

The stew dish. Oval ceramic with a lid and a metal rack, built to come out of the oven and go straight onto the table still steaming. Our Best for Serving pick.

What is it for?

Saucy food served at the table, which describes a large share of Filipino cooking. Oval ceramic with a lid and a rack is built for caldereta, menudo, and stews: the curved walls let the sauce settle rather than baking into corners, the thick ceramic keeps it hot through a long meal, and the metal rack means it goes straight from the oven onto the dining table without a folded towel underneath. The lid then covers what is left without a sheet of foil.

How does it compare with the rectangular Majestic?

Same material, same lid-and-rack package, different shape and size. The oval tops out at 1.5L against the rectangular dish’s 2L, so it is the smaller of the two and a big family batch means cooking twice. In exchange you get the easier clean-up of a dish with no corners, and a shape that suits stews better than square portions. If you bake lasagna, buy the rectangle. If you cook stews, buy this.

What are the trade-offs?

The standard ceramic ones. The base is opaque, so checking whether the bottom has caught means lifting the dish rather than looking through it. Ceramic handles thermal shock less well than borosilicate, so the fridge-to-oven move is out. And ceramic is heavy, so a full dish is a two-handed lift. None of this is a defect; it is the price of the heat retention that makes ceramic worth owning.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱721 as of August 3, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That is close to the rectangular Majestic for less capacity, so on paper the rectangle is the better buy. The oval earns its place if your cooking is stews rather than bakes, and the 4K+ sold with 1,395 ratings at 4.9 shows plenty of Filipino kitchens made exactly that call.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you cook caldereta, menudo, and stews and want to serve them hot at the table in the dish they baked in. If you bake lasagna or cook for a big household, the rectangular Majestic holds more.
