This dish is attractive and is a good size and weight for larger casseroles. It also seems to clean up easily, although mine is fairly new so I've yet to see how lots of baking will affect that nice white finish. The one negative aspect, and it could be a big one, is that the top on the cover is indented in a way that makes it impossible to take the cover off with a pot holder. This is extremely frustrating when you are trying to take a quick peek at a dish as it's baking. I have only been able to grab the top to remove the lid with a dish towel, as it's thinner than a pot holder, but also less protection from burns. Depending on how much that might bother you, you may be better off with another dish that doesn't have this design flaw.

I agree with Kelly's review. The surface is smooth and polished. The handles, lid and container, cannot be grasped even wwith a towel. Terrible problem when hot.

I'm giving the item one star only for the state this item arrives in.

I ordered this casserole with high hopes. Unfortunately, it turned out that Amazon shipping is not designed for this kind of product - casserole arrived smashed in pieces, although box seemed untouched. Thanks to Customer Support advice I didn't have to ship it back (trust me, nothing to look at - but I did leave feedback for package on the site and attached photos). Next, I ordered a replacement, and no surprise there either: same type of package, and item arrived in a form of dozen shards again. Package is of unsufficient size and protection, no "FRAGILE" labels on box. No mystery there, product gets ruined while in transit... It is very unfortunate that probably decent product goes to trash. I'm hoping Amazon customer support would advise me not to ship the second one back - otherwise the company would spend even more money for return shipping.

I originally intended to purchase a Pyrex casserole, but liked the appearance of the Cordon Bleu 4 quart. Tried it out during Christmas and was very pleased with its performance. Recessed handle is perfect for liftng with kitchen tongs and good protection from getting burned. Glad I didn't get the Pyrex.

We order the 4 quart casserole with lid but it was delivered without a lid. After many frustrating hours, we finally learned how to contact the actual seller - not amazon. We wanted a lidded casserole so sent it back; the mailing cost was almost as much as the casserole and initial mailing. THEREFORE Amazon.com will not be contacted again to order ANY mechandise as the service STINKS
