Usage notes
- This is a specialized, old-fashioned or regional word. Most learners will rarely need it outside cooking, pottery, or historical contexts.
- Do not confuse it with modern testo meaning “text.” Same spelling, different meaning; context is essential.
- For ordinary baking trays, teglia or piastra is usually more common in everyday Italian.
