DOWAN 9x13-inch Deep Casserole Baking Dish for Lasagna - 135 oz

In this review the DOWAN 9x13-inch deep casserole baking dish earns its place as a practical kitchen workhorse for families and home cooks who want a reliable, attractive pan for layered dishes. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of extra depth and a 135 oz capacity that handles multi-layer lasagna, large casseroles and roasts without overflow. The reviewer found it easy to use straight from oven to table thanks to the double handles and appreciated that it is made from lead-free ceramic and rated safe to 500F, which makes it versatile for baking, reheating and storing.

Key Features

• Size and capacity: The 15.6 in x 9.3 in x 3.1 in footprint with 135 oz capacity holds deep lasagnas and multi-layer casseroles for family meals.
• Durable ceramic: Made from pro-grade, lead-free ceramic so it resists thermal stress and is safe for ovens up to 500F/260C.
• All-purpose use: Works in the oven, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher so it can go from baking to storing without extra dishes.
• Double-handled design: Comfortable handles make it easier to carry the full, hot dish from oven to table for serving.
• Classic look: Smooth glazed finish and simple styling make it presentable for serving and coordinate with many table settings.
• Deep sides: The extra depth keeps ingredients contained and accommodates several layers for lasagna or deep casseroles.

Who It's For

This dish is best for family cooks and anyone who regularly makes layered dishes, lasagna, mac and cheese, casseroles, or roasted proteins that need a roomy, deep pan. The 135 oz capacity and the 3.1 in depth mean it suits households that serve 4 to 6 people or cooks who like to prepare larger one-dish meals.

Those who should look elsewhere include people who need lightweight metal bakeware for faster heat conduction or those requiring specialty nonstick surfaces for certain recipes; ceramic will run a bit heavier and conducts heat differently than metal bakeware.

Pros & Cons
