Product Description

Nothing is more satisfying than a homemade, fresh-from-the-oven lasagna. But in a conventional pan, the dish sure can get sloppy in a hurry. After the first few servings are removed, the layers slump, the noodles, slide, and that formerly picture-perfect lasagna usually begins to look...well, a lot less appetizing. (You'll know you're in trouble when your dinner guests put down their forks and reach for their spoons.) Our newest product, the Simple Lasagna Pan, offers a simple solution. The pan's unique sidewalls keep the noodles and layers neatly stacked, regardless of how many portions are removed. Lasagna also bakes more consistently in the Simple Lasagna Pan because more heat is circulated to the pan's middle, where food typically takes longer to bake. It's a far more precise way to bake, and the last serving will always look (and taste) as good as the first. Features: One continuous chamber, so sauces flow easily through the pan Keeps lasagna layers neatly stacked (prevents 'collapse') Made of hard-anodized cast aluminum for superior durability, and the silicone-based nonstick coating releases even the stickiest foods with ease Interior sidewalls circulate heat evenly to every serving The oversized handles are an easy grab, even for an oven mitt, and the pan comes complete with a flexible nylon spatula All pans are 100% made in the USA

I was already familiar with Bakers Edge because of their wonderful Nonstick Edge Brownie Pan I purchased last year, so I was anxious to try out the Simple Lasagna Pan. In fact it was less than 6 hours from delivery from Amazon to delicious lasagna being served on my dinner table.

My first step was to read the care & use guide, along with the recipes that were listed. Although I have my own recipe for lasagna, I knew that I might have to adjust it based on this pan. The only thing that surprised me was the use of uncooked noodles. I have used Barilla's "No-Bake" noodles before, but this required regular uncooked noodles. Otherwise the recipe suggestions were very close to my own.

After I had my sauce ready, I began assembling my lasagna. The pan allows for 3 layers of noodles, sauce and whichever cheeses you use. Once assembled it says to cover it with foil that has been sprayed down with non-stick spray to prevent the cheese from sticking. Then you are to bake it at 375° for 55 minutes covered, 10-15 uncovered and then let it cool for 10-15 minutes.

Now for the most important part, the results! The lasagna was great, but that was expected. For me what this pan is about is the ease of making it, presentation and clean up. Not surprisingly it aced all three! Putting it together took half the time, with the included spatula it was easy to remove and looked beautiful and clean up was fast - NO Soaking or Scrubbing! I did add several pictures in the customer images so that you can see the pan in action.

Now that I'm done making lasagna, I keep thinking about the endless possibilities with this pan: Meatloaf, Baked Mac & Cheese, Deep Dish Cheesecake Bars, the list goes on. My daughter also just made the suggestion that I can do her vegetarian lasagna (which she prefers) in one channel of the pan and make regular in the other three - what a great and idea! I can honestly say this pan is worth every penny.

This review is from: Baker's Edge 11.5x12.5x2.5-in. Rectangular Simple Lasagna Pan

I bought this company's first product (the Edge Brownie Pan) about a year ago. We absolutely love it (I use it weekly), but the 9" x 12" x 2" size sort of limits its usefulness to brownies, bar cookies, rice krispy treats, and similar desserts. When I discovered this new pan in a gourmet catalog a few weeks ago, I bought it entirely on impulse -- simply because it's much larger in size. After a week of use, I'm a little surprised that Baker's Edge didn't introduce THIS pan first. The zig-zag design is so perfectly suited to lasagna, it makes you wonder why the biggest brands in bakeware continue to make plain rectangular pans. Creamette and Barilla box noodles fit like a glove, and the pan's partitions keep those slithery layers and noodles together when you're plating. (Genius.) It's a heavy pan, so get a good grip on it when cleaning. And be sure to use the spatula that comes with it... the shape is a little odd-looking, but once you use it the unconventional design makes perfect sense. Overall, I've been thrilled with this pan. It performs at least as well as advertised, and significantly better than any other lasagna pan in my kitchen.

This review is from: Baker's Edge 11.5x12.5x2.5-in. Rectangular Simple Lasagna Pan

My husband and kids are ravenous lasagna eaters, and they insist that I make it with a lot of sauce. If you've ever made it the same way, you surely know that saucy lasagnas are horribly messy and almost impossible to serve without falling completely apart. With no real way to solve the problem, I've always served my lasgnas with two utensils: a wide spatula, and a big serving spoon to scoop up what didn't survive the precarious journey from baking dish to dinner plate. I bought this pan entirely out of curiosity (desperation?), and I'm blown away by how well it works. The inside walls keep all of those soupy layers neatly in place, and they do a fantastic job of cooking the middle more evenly. It's tough to get the first serving out, but I guess the same is true for any other pan. I do have a fondness for the polish and shine of those stainless steel bakers from All-Clad (which, gulp, cost twice as much), but the unique design of this pan is pure genius, and it does feel substantial. I also love (love, love, love) the nonstick coating. Without it, this pan would probably be a beast to clean. We've enjoyed using this pan for the past three months, and I suspect we'll continue to use it for many more years.
