Le Creuset Stoneware 10-1/2-by-13-1/4-Inch Deep-Dish Baker, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been thrilled with the heft and quality of the Le Creuset poterie line - and this is no exception. After years of trial and error I have found this to be the perfect pan for my lasagna. I like to make BIG batches of lasagna, and this pan lets me feed an army. The color and finish are flawless and that famous Le Creuset non-stick ability is in full force here. Even after baking a big lasagna in it, washing this thing by hand is a piece of cake!

So, to sum up: Its large, it looks great, it cooks evenly, and it is very easy to clean after use. All of that for a pretty good price too! Highly recommended!

Rachael Ray 5.25 Cast Iron Oval Casseroles Review

Rachael Ray 5.25 Cast Iron Oval Casseroles
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These "made in China" casseroles are pretty, and similar to Le Creuset in appearance, enamel over cast iron,however people are noticing the enamel does not stand up well to heat, and it cracks. (See reviews on "Rachael Ray 3-1/2-Quart Cast-Iron Covered Round Casserole, Blue", and talk with peoplewho handle returns at your dept. store.)

Additionally, the casserole has a cheap phenolic (plastic) handle on the top cover, which the manual says are "oven safe" ONLY up to 350 F temperature. This makes no sense, when recipes may call for 350-400 degree temperatures! A 350 degree handle is just as hot to the touch, be it made of cheap plastic or cast iron. Batali's handles are good to 500 degrees, Le Creuset's handles are good to 450 degrees, Rachael's cheap plastic handle will be melted slime, long before then at just 350 degrees!

Quite a few bakers know that oven temps may vary from 50-75 degrees from what is "set", at times! While using plastic handles saves a small expense for Rachael, it may limit oven temp setting to 300-325 for some, to put in a margin of safety, to avoid lid handle meltdown. It just gives one more thing to worry about while cooking-to not let the handle melt into a puddle of goo.

Rachael, get better quality control with the next batch, and please give matching cast iron handles instead of cheap plastic, and make it easy on customers!

I am now ready to buy anything that Pillivuyt makes!It bakes beautifully and cleans up like a snap.Forget the old fashioned bakers we got from our mothers--pillivuyt, although more expensive, will be the heirloom baker of the future.But be careful...it can break but only if you drop it onto a hard surface.

Product Description:
Pillivuyt rectangular bakers come in three sizes and have a number of uses in your everyday cooking - from baking cakes and brownies to appetizers and roasts.Since all Pillivuyt dishes can be put in the freezer, the oven, the microwave and the dishwasher and all look great on the table, these are especially versatile cooking tools.These hearty dishes are chip-resistant and easy to clean and can even be put under the broiler for those finishing touches - browning, crisping or melted toppings.The walls of these dishes are thin and even, making heat conduction extremely efficient.The number of sizes to choose from gives you plenty of options for serving small families to large groups.The medium rectangular baker is 11 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches and its capacity is 1.5 quarts.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 14-1/4-Inch Oval Au Gratins Review

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 14-1/4 inch Oval Au Gratins
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this pan off of Amazon through Chef's Resource a few weeks ago.I have made several things in it and all have turned out wonderfully.Once again, a great product from Le Creuset!
The only caveatI have is that this pan is not stoneware as described.I assumed this when I saw it on Amazon due to the hefty price. I contacted Amazon.com by phone and found them to be polite, but not too helpful.I later contacted Chef's Resource, who was offering the pan on Amazon at the time, and they assured me that the pan was indeed cast iron. I hope that Amazon will make the correction in the title and description of this product.I would not pay this price for stoneware, but the cast iron is well worth it!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 14-1/4 Inch Oval Au Gratins

Product Description:
For recipes that call for a crisp topping, this classic au gratin dish provides a wide, shallow cooking area that offers more exposure to heat, while its cast-iron construction makes it useful for everything from deglazing to baking. The oval-shaped dish, which measures 14-1/4 inches long and holds up to 3 quarts, makes it easy to beautifully present delicious potatoes au gratin as a side for dinner or bubbling fruit cobbler for dessert.
Like other pieces in Le Creuset's line of enameled cast iron, the cookware's exterior features a colorful, long-lasting enamel that resists chipping and cracking, while its durable, nonreactive sand-colored enamel interior offers a smooth surface for cooking and an optimal palette for food presentation. As cast iron is unexcelled for even heat distribution and superior heat retention, and enamel is impervious to acids and odors, the dish cooks food uniformly and gently without hot spots and can be used for marinating, cooking on the stovetop, or finishing in the oven. The cookware also provides traditional scalloped side handles for a secure grip, and it can be safely used at any oven temperature, under the broiler, and on any stovetop, including induction. Best of all, it moves gracefully from the oven to the table for serving to the refrigerator or freezer for storing leftovers. The cookware carries a lifetime limited warranty and should be hand washed for best results.

I've been dying to get a set of dishes like this so I could make individual oven pancakes for my family. Imagine my surprise and confusion when I received one from my wish list (as a gift) and it's actually a set of 6! I haven't yet found in the description where it says it's a set, but I thought I could let people know. Otherwise, nice looking and sturdy, can't wait to try them out.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Pillivuyt Round Eared dish

Product Description:
A true French classic, Pillivuyt's round-eared dishes are exceptional in their finishing detail and in their superior thin walls.The finer and more even walls allow for quick and even heat distribution, but these dishes are as durable as all the Pillivuyt dishes with Pillivuyt's proprietary porcelain recipe.The "ear" handles are a traditional design and allow you to hold and carry the dish easily; the glaze, as in all Pillivuyt items, will not craze, stain, or discolor, and cleans up with amazing ease.The sides of the gratin dishes are slanted outward to expose a wider top surface, which creates more of the crisp or browned topping that is the ideal finishing touch to gratin dishes. Suitable for use under the broiler.The 9-inch round-eared dish can be used for most gratin recipes, but would also be suitable for baking apples or preparing a small roast or Cornish hen.

This pan was defective so I returned it, thank you Amazon for paying the postage.The first time I used the pan I oiled it, but noticed that my piece of paper towel turned black.I washed the pan again, oiled it again, more black.I discovered that the lengthwise seam along the raised section of the bottom of the pan was open - I could catch it with my fingernail, and the black was coming from this seam.Later I stopped by Macy's and looked at the same pan and discovered the same open seam.It looks like Cuisinart is selling a defective item on a large scale.

I had been looking for a deep dish lasagna pan for some time.This pan is GREAT.Cooks evenly, and is so deep I never worry about overflow.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Enameled Cast Iron 14-Inch Roasting/Lasagna Pan, Cardinal Red Review

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Enameled Cast Iron 14 inch Roasting/Lasagna Pan, Cardinal Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like cast iron pans, so thought this would be great for lasagna and it is, but the size of this thing weighs a ton, especially when loaded with lasagna, which is heavy anyway. If you use this thing in the oven, you'd best have some pretty heavy-duty oven racks and some arm muscles to wrestle it in and out of the oven!

In my Mom's brand new Maytag Neptune stove the oven rack flexed, but didn't permanently bend the rack. A lesser oven rack would, undoubtedly, be permanently damaged.

The pan was so heavy loaded with lasagna neither my Mom nor I could get it into or out of the oven. Had to have my husband do it. I wouldn't advise putting it onto a dishwasher rack!

Clean-up was great...nothing stuck to it and washing was easy except for hefting it over to rinse.

I think I'd best look for a cermaic version of this same size pan.

Pyrex Bakeware 4.8 Quart Oblong Baking Dish, Clear Review

Pyrex Bakeware 4.8 Quart Oblong Baking Dish, Clear
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My new (6 month old) pyrex broke violently shortly after it was taken out of the oven and set on the oven to cool. None of the stove top burners were on or had been on for hours, and ut was NOT on a burner which vents heat from the oven. All the dish contained was bread pudding, and it certainly hadn't been roasting under the broiler. The glass shards were numerous, large, sharp, very hot, and flew everywhere, with an enormously loud breaking sound, so whether or not you want to call that an explosion, I'm very glad I wasn't in the room. I've been cooking with pyrex my whole life and never had a problem with it before, so I'm loth to give it a bad review, but it was a pretty scary experience.

I've been looking for a roaster/broiling pan.Heavy enough not to warp under high heat.Not non-stick since I want to deglaze the pan for sauces.DW safe - my husband puts everything in the DW or it doesn't get washed!AND a conductive bottom surface for even heating and use on the stove top during deglazing.

I looked at the much more expensive All-Clad Roti BUT the handles were at a fixed height - too tall for close positioning next to my broiler.The handles of the multi-pan fold down.

Even if it weren't on sale, it's a fraction of the cost of the All Clad, meets all of my needs and my family's lack of care . . . this is perfect!!!
