And it holds the heat so once you take the lasagna from oven to table the dish stays heated so when someone goes back for seconds they find lasagna that is still appetizing and ooey gooey hot and nice.

The Perfect Lasagna Pan (Rating: 5.00)
Review : This is ideal for lasagna, as the stoneware will not stain or absorb the taste and smell of the tomato sauce, onions, garlic, etc. It is also great for preparing batches of lasagna ahead of time. Just prepare the lasagna and put the dishes in the freezer. When needed, just take the pans out of the freezer and bake. After dinner, the pan can be placed in the dishwasher. A terrific pan for old fashioned lasagna.

cracked in the oven after 2 months (Rating: 1.00)
Review : I was very pleased with the Le Creuset baking dishes I have (I have the Poterie 10" x 13" deep dish baker, 14" oval baker, and 9" square dishes as well as this one). However, my 12" dish just cracked down the middle while I was cooking a pork roast in it at 425 degrees. It had only been in the oven about 45 minutes. I am sorely disappointed and now I am wondering if I wasted my money on the others. I have only had it for about 2 1/2 months.

Perfect for enchiladas or lasagna (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I love to cook, and I love to watch cooking shows on TV. You cannot watch food tv for very long before encountering a certain someone using a Le Creuset product (you know who I mean). Wanting to try one myself to see what was so special about this line of cookware, I purchased this rectangular dish. Needless to say, I am thrilled with this purchase! The quality of this casserole is superb. For its size, it is HEAVY and seems to be very well made. It heats evenly, looks great as a serving dish at the table, and cleans easily. This was the perfect "starter" to my collection. I would recommend this purchase to everyone, and I am sure I will be buying more Le Creuset in the future!
