It cleans up great and the pan is deep, but there are pans just as good without the big name or big price tag
Big enough, Deep enough, for Heavy Duty Eaters..Buy one you will love it.
Yes, this is heavy, 10 lbs 3 ozs to be exact; but that is what you should be wanting for a quality piece of cast iron. This is a great piece of cookware for deep dish lasagna as it measures a full 13″ x 9″ x 3″ deep. This is a very good quality product even tho’ it is made in China; I would buy American made but could find no other product with the heft and size of this one, and the bake pans offered by Le Cruset are shallow in comparison. I purchased the Chiati color and am very pleaed and impressed with the quality of the finish. I just made a lasagna with double the recipe of Ragu Bolonese and handmade pasta ([...]) this past weekend and it all fit wonderfully into this pan, and baked up beautifully in the stipulated bake time. I’m sure it would work equally well for mac & cheese or other casseroles! Also, the cleanup was easy with just a short soak in soapy water, and the pan looks like new again.
Believe me; you will not be dissappointed in this purchase!!!
I bought this lasagna pan in the pesto color as a Lightening Deal offering before Christmas ’09. I am happy with the pan – it is really large and deep and cooks evenly and retains the heat wonderfully. It weighs about 15 pounds with a lasagna in it, so if you can’t see yourself holding a hot pan of that weight at arm’s length this is probably not the pan for you. I noticed several areas on the outside of my pan where the enamel looks uneven. Especially around the top rim – the thickness is noticably varied. I did read reviews of this cookware (check the other colors and sizes) and I am not the only one who has noticed this flaw. However at the discounted price I paid, I still feel this was a good value and decided against returning it. If I had bought to give as a gift I would have been unhappy enough to return it. For me, the uneven enamel coating was a minor thing – offset by the ease of clean-up, the large capacity, and the fact that it still looks nice on the table. I don’t forsee the crowd I invite for salad and lasagna to be scrutinizing the enamel on my pan.
Out of the box the pan appeared phenomenal. Attractive with a nice heft. Closer examination revealed spotty workmanship in the enamel finish as previously noted by one other reviewer. After the first cook (having cared for the pan in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations) and clean up (soaking and then using a nylon brush) I was disappointed to see that portions of the cast iron core were actually visible as the enamel had … worn away. After all, the pan is made in China. The pan went back to Amazon the next day. Suggest USA, Sweden, Germany to name a few as countries with manufacturing processes that are capable of turning out quality cookware.
