With [multiple levels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kilne-1) and a varying dish sizes, this set of [porcelain cookware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-porcelain) is a savior, especially when it comes to preparing multi-course meals for large groups.

The dishes are able to sit one atop another in the oven and feature a unique shape that is slightly indented on the sides. This way, the slightly scalloped edge allows air to circulate through all the levels. The white dishes feature small black feet made of [heat-resistant silicone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kilne-cookware-set), so that when removing from the oven, the dishes are elevated enough when placed on a counter for cooling. After the cooking process, the dishes can be put right into the dishwasher. Considering all of the smart features of this cookware set, it's no surprise that this design is the winner of multiple awards, including the Red Dot Award, as well as the IF Industrial Design Award.
