Customer Reviews

Great heavy lasagna pan
This is a great looking 9x13 pan with good proportions. It is really deep and makes a great tall lasagna. It is extremely heavy when fully loaded with a lasagna. Its bulk gives it even cooking in the oven, but can be difficult to get out of the oven after your lasagna is done. I have made many other things in this pan with great results. It is fairly non-stick and has not stained even after several lasagnas. The enamel is fairly bulletproof.

Overall I really like this pan, with its only weakness being heft. However, that heft is put to good use in very even cooking and keeping the lasagna warm at the table.

You won't be disappointed.

Batali Lasagna Pan is Best
The Mario Batali lasagna pan is the best pan I've used. It is extra deep so it holds really thick layers of all the good stuff I make my lasagnas with. It weighs a ton since it is enameled cast iron, but that is why it cooks so evenly. I recommend adding about 15+ minutes of extra cooking time to your recipes because the oven does have to heat the heavy mass of the pan. Cleaning was easy. Just soak it in hot sudsy water for a while then all the baked on cheese and sauce will wipe off with a kitchen scrub pad. The only surprises were that the rim of the pan has no enamel. It is bare iron. But it cleaned without a problem and did not rust when soaked overnight. This is a great pan, but it is very heavy when empty and even heavier when filled with a lasagna so make sure you've got some stong helpers around to put it in the oven if necessary. :o)

multi purpose pan is great
This came to me just in time to solve several cooking applications that have been bothering me since the Holidays. As a lasagna pan it is the perfect depth to make a stellar presentation. As a roasting pan it works well and holds a small turkey or two 3 lb. chickens. It's also good for a large casserole for a pot luck. The pan looks good from oven to table. Yes - it is heavy to work with because of the cast iron, but I'm really glad to add this to my pantry.
