DUKTIG is IKEA's name for this adorable children's tea set that I couldn't resist buying a while ago. Although my girls have grown out of the tea party stage, I shared many tea times with each of them as they were growing up..jpg)
The IKEA website says this tea set is "made of tough stoneware". And they are right because I put them in my 325˚F oven for 15 minutes, and they didn't crack and the custard was perfect. I was worried the water bath might cause them to tip over, but I was careful moving the pan in and out of the oven.

On a tangent, these IKEA dishes made me wonder about how IKEA comes up with names for their furniture. I googled and found this funny website that generates an IKEA furniture name based on what you enter. Here's what it gave me when I entered "Shari":
